Taylor and I have been through so much for so long. We’ve seen loss, pain, and setbacks as well as growth, triumph, and celebration! We’ve seen each other’s failures, successes, and phases, along with physical, mental, and social development throughout the years! I’ve seen Taylor go from being “scared” of exercise to buying treadmills and going on runs with Mojo, and not understanding a single thing about football to being the world’s #1 Eagles fan. But some things don’t change. She’s always been caring and selfless, never failing to sacrifice for another’s needs, stretching her hand out to strangers. Loyal and honest, she has stayed by me through thick and thin, trusting in me and my decisions. She’s supportive, always encouraging me to take the next step in my career and make wise choices in life, and always extending her support to my family and friends. She’s smart, responsible, intellectually sound, and independent. She makes it exciting to think of a future and easy to see a future. She has all the qualities that bring great balance and integrity, and the trust and confidence in this relationship that I am honored and undoubtedly ready to take to the ultimate level of love, commitment, and partnership. Things may not have always seemed perfect, just as we are not perfect. But if you ask me, with Taylor in my life, it is perfectly meant to be.
I’ve found my family in Keanu (& Mojo) - everything we do and build is for each other. He’s my personal protector, making any place feel like home. He's probably come home from work hundreds of times, and yet it is still my favorite time of the day. Being around each other, I learned the true meaning of partnership and peace. I know he wants to be the best for me and pushes me to be my best. He is always there to teach me new things, answer all my hypothetical questions, or make an errand day feel like date night. He is safe but also where I can be the most free and fun, calming but also makes me laugh the loudest, and always making sure we move as one unit but shine as two individuals. We always remind each other how incredibly blessed we are to have everything we have and will have, but my greatest blessing is that I have him as my bestest friend. We’ve been together for almost 10 years, and no year has been the same. No matter what, we continued showing up for each other in the highs and lows and all the little moments in between. We are constantly adapting as partners together, with our love never wavering. I can’t wait to continue supporting, traveling, loving, arguing, and growing with each other.
