“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.” - Gillian Anderson

I vividly remember having this switch flicked for me. I was flying home for Christmas break during freshman year at Vandy. I don’t know why, but I started thinking about you, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. We weren’t even dating at the time, but I knew in my heart right then that I wanted to marry you. It’s hard to explain, I don’t truly understand it myself. But I’m eternally thankful that you are my wife, and you’ll always be my best friend too. I love you.
