I love you so much, and I can't believe it's already been 2 years. You make loving you so easy. It's great. These past years have been so smooth. Slight turbulence at times, yes, but it's always for good reason and we always come out of it stronger, closer to each other, with a better understanding of each other, and more in love.
I seriously can't believe the woman you're becoming. You've grown so much since we first met and first started dating. I'm so incredibly proud. Aside from my dad and Dimi (of course) you're absolutely the hardest working person I know. By far the hardest working person at your age. I remember the first end of semester exams you took when we started dating. You struggled a lot with your math classes. Calling me crying telling me you're going to fail and you should give up. But you didn't give up! And due to that and your persistent hard work, you overcame your weakest area and you're starting to excel. When you talk about math now, I feel the same way I feel when I heard Max and Fernando arguing about math proofs. You're so smart. I hear key words like matrix or regression, I nod my head yes, but inside I'm confused, impressed and a little turned on.
Apart from your intellectual ability, you're the funniest person I know (and I know some pretty damn funny people). You always effortlessly make me laugh, and you always can make yourself laugh too, which is important.
You are obviously so drop dead gorgeous it's hard to believe. Sometimes I'm so in love with your brain I forget to glance down and see all of the beauty that's there in front of me, but when I do I'm always in awe and so lucky that I get to call you my girlfriend (until one day wife). I seriously wouldn't change anything about your appearance. You have so much charm, and you are so god damn sexy it's unreal.
I really appreciate the support you show me. I didn't know I could feel and be so supported by someone. You're always there when I hyper-fixate on my problems and infamously crash out (I'm just like Kanye fr fr). You gently encourage me to keep pushing and for that I love you so much. I seriously wouldn't have nearly as much motivation if it was not for you.
Cliche but I can't wait to grow old with you. Have an army of staffuccinos. A beautiful house with cutlery you've incrementally stolen from fancy restaurants and bars (I'll do crack before I rack didn't age well, huh). And of course a beautiful family and kids. I love you so much and I'll make sure I'm always conscious of how lucky I am (I'm lucky I have a friend like Lily who will call me a retard if I ever think about forgetting that fact) and how rare you are even in the eventual tough times. I will always fight for you, and do whatever I can to see you happy and achieving whatever you believe is best for you.
I'm so excited for what the future holds. You have grown so much, but I can see that you still have so much potential. I can't wait to grow together for the rest of our lives.
Happy anniversary, Ashley. I will cherish and love you forever, I promise.
