We are in Madrid this lovely warm evening. It's been a very long day of traveling and touring and eventually eating, so now we are resting for the night.
Today is my eleven month anniversary with Hillary, and it is sad that we have to spend our anniversary apart.
However, we'll be together next month for our one year anniversary. We'll be in Paris then, it will be que romantico.
I can't believe it's been eleven months, it feels like just yesterday we were driving home from Ani, got hungry for Wendy's and spent the better part of an hour sitting in a dark parking lot eating and talking about life, silently telling each other that we couldn't put on this facade anymore.
Love happens and it knocks you right off your feet. It's the best, most stupifying feeling in the world, to be sure. Perhaps numbing is a better word for it. I don't know if I like the feeling of numbness, or fluttering about, but I do love being in love with a wonderful person and I am very glad that we found each other in this big scary world.
There is no one out there who would climb mountains with me on a whim, who would stand by my side from 3,000 miles away, who would so thoroughly entertain me while simultaneously captivating me. I fall in love with every pretty face I see, but I have never been so completely in love with not only a pretty face, but a wonderful mind and a beautiful soul.
Here's to Madrid and eleven months with Mogli.

This made me cry in my cubicle, just a little bit. I would never want to be with anyone else in the world but you, even if you are half a world away having the adventure of a lifetime. I cannot wait until you get back so you we can have some more adventures and fun times. :) <3
