3 amazing years that have just flown by!

So today is me and Andrews 3 year anniversary. I cant beleive we have already been together for 3 years. Its amazing how quickly time has flown by and how many memories we have made in that time. I honestly dont know what I would do without him. He means everything to me and always knows how to make me happy. Everything that I see, every song that I hear, everything I do makes me think about him and reminds me of a memory that we shared together. Its just a wonderful feeling to know that there is someone out there who loves you unconditionally and thinks you are as amazing as you think they are. He makes me smile when its the last thing on my mind, he always knows how to make me laugh and makes me the happiest girl in the world!

I find it funny to see how much I have changed in these past 3 years too. Andrew is your typical high class preppy jock who went into the military. I was the shy country girl who spent her nights with a good book and her best friend (her dog) by her side and I worked for my Father at his local business. I always wanted to be a preppy kind of girl though. The girl who had a military boyfriend, went to balls, attended big family events, and got to live a high class life. Now mind you I dont forget where I came from. My family is your typical everyday middle class working family. We work for everything that we have, we arent rich but we arent poor. We live in a normal neighborhood and there are things that we want that we know we will never have but I was always a happy child and I still am. When I started going out with Andrew I was introduced to this whole new world that I had never experienced before and only heard about from other people. Andrews family has academy balls, dinners, and events that require you dressing up for their Merchant Marine Academy. I was invited to all of them. I got to go out and buy beautiful outfits and throw away those jeans and t-shirts for one night. It was amazing to be in this type of life that I never experienced before. Now 3 years later I am still living that life. I am a different person because of him and I have become the kind of person I have always wished I would be. I still remember where I came from and well being that I still live at home I kind of live two lives. When I am home and going out with my family I am still that country girl. But when I go out with Andrew and his family I am that preppy high class girl. Its so neat when I get to go to these big events with Andrew and he introduces me to all these people that I would of never met in my normal life. They are all beautiful high class, wealthy people. I dont look at it as a bad thing but something amazing. I know a lot of girls who live a certain way all their lives and dream of getting out of their little town and becoming who they want to be. Andrew helped me. He took me out of my little town where everyone knew everyone and introduced me to the high class world. I still find myself sometimes showing up at his house in my truck, my jeans and cowboy boot, topped off with my John Deere hat but he loves me that way. He never asked me to change, never told me he didnt like me the way I was. His family loved me the way I was to begin with but I guess you can say he helped me grow up. I have finally become a woman.

I guess you could say Andrew saw something in me. He saw me yearning to get out in the real world. Its like that princess movie where she was this nerd who had crazy curly hair and lived a simple life then her grandmother (I think) informed her that she was a princess or a queen something like that and she became a whole new person and was put into a whole new world. Now she will never forget where she came from and her family is happy to see her become what she has always wanted and thats me.
