A belated Happy Valentine's Day and 1 Year Anniversary to the sweetest, most amazing-est boyfriend! I've never had as much fun with someone as I have you (sorry Mom). You encourage me to explore, push me to live authentically, and remind me to slow down when it all becomes just a little bit too much. I will forever thank you for your patience when I word vomit my current hyper-fixation at you for hours. Somehow, you remember all the little things I love! Thank you for loving my wild emotions, and not being afraid to get close to my fire when I'm burning with passion about something or another. I love you with my whole heart and my whole butt, Tank <3 MWAH!

Not the meet I wanted, but a fun experience. Came into Vegas 4lbs over, and it got in my head ended up weighing in 4kg under. Grateful for the opportunity and Marcus for handling and Arlen for coming out to support.
