Lex and the City: 4 year anniversary

Tonight Jim and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary.

When we first met, I lived in North Austin and Jim's house was in South Austin, so I usually only saw him on the weekends. We made a habit of cooking steaks every Sunday night on Jim's tiny little smoker in the backyard, and one night Chloe stole a bacon wrapped filet right off the grill and ate it in about 2 seconds. That's still my favorite story to tell to new friends, haha ohh Chloe.

It's crazy to think that the first time I went to Jim's house to watch a movie and cook dinner I thought, "man, this is a dirty stinky bachelor pad". Little did I know, only a year later my pugs and I would be living there, and we would turn it into a home. When I first met Jim I was still in college and working part time at Massage Envy. Alot has changed for me since then; I've graduated, found a great job, got the sweetest bulldog ever, helped renovate and redecorate a 30 year old house, and most of all I fell in love with someone who turned out to be my best friend, and partner in crime.

I remember a while ago when my cousin Abbi got married, I asked her how she knew her husband was the right person for her. She told me because their love evolves the longer they are together, that she loves him more everyday. I think that really is true, my relationship with Jim is different than it was when we were first dating. Not better, just different. I feel closer to him today than I did yesterday, and I know that I will still feel that in the years to come.
