Here Comes the Love (...and i say, it's all right)

Normally, I spend at least one week developing and finalizing my blog posts. Rather than searching for inspiration, I let the inspiration come to me.

But this week was a bit different.

This week, I celebrated my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, Sasha. I’ve been absolutely consumed by love and gratitude. Instead of spending hours planning this post, I decided I’d simply write from my heart.

With love,
Annie

​Little did I know, this time last year was only the beginning of something so magical.

Over the past 12 months I’ve given and received more love than I ever knew was possible.

I spent the last month creating a handmade book full of love letters, journal entries, photos, and kind sentiments for Sasha.

Yesterday morning, I went to his house where he surprised me with 12 boxes full of surprises. Each box contained a photo, a scroll with a reason he loves me, and gifts ranging from homemade chocolate covered strawberries to enamel pins.

We spent the day together expressing our gratitude for one another and visiting some of our favorite places.

It struck me this week that I’ve always been a romantic. From a very young age I effortlessly fell in love with people, places, movies, and books.

It wasn’t until Sasha that something, or rather someone, fell in love with me.

I’m so lucky to have such a thoughtful, genuine, creative person in my life who looks at me like I’m made of magic.

Everyone deserves and is entitled to a love like that. Loving yourself is infinitely powerful but being in love is a whole other experience.

While I’m endlessly grateful to be able to share that experience, I wanted to take a moment to say that to whoever is reading this...I hope your days are filled with love too.

Whoever you are, wherever you are...thank YOU for supporting me.

I love you.
