Four years and one day

This is the time that has elapsed since meeting Zack. Our friendship has blossomed since back in 2006. Some of the best memories of these past four years are the ones that I shared with him and our friends. It's even sweeter since our friendship has since become our romance, and we're still friends too. We've both been kind of excited about today and celebrated in a somewhat understated way. Last night, Zack came over and helped me fix a stew recipe I wanted to try. We hung out and I was able to give him two small gifts that I had ordered for him to express my affection and commemorate the past four years of our friendship.

After I got home from school and work I checked the mail and found a note that he had written and mailed to me for today. Just a lovely card from a lovely man. *ahhh...* It has been a fine day.

All day this song has been going through my mind while thinking of Zack and how grateful I am for him in my life. He is such a blessing!

"And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know you're more to me than what I know how to say
You're OK with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen"

I finished the work that I could on my brain development chapter in my neurobiology class. The biggest impression from this evening's review of the online discussion is that I really need to take care of my body and be certain to get enough folic acid and other B vitamins to help lessen the risk of neural tube defects for the children my husband and I may have. No husband yet, but it's always good to start healthy habits, right?

Speaking of which, sleep and some quite time in the morning are probably good habits to develop from this point. Before parting for the evening I wish to leave you with this video that was posted on vimeo.com. Adieu!
