November 19, 2006 was the moment, that one event that I can say is my turning point, the instance when my life changed for the better, forever. The night I met you.

 

There are thousands of reasons I love you, and thousands more of why I need you.

Thank you for you love, encouragement, wisdom, and dedication.
