J + M = 1 Year!

our first picture together

Jarad and I have been dating for one year! Oh how time flies. It's been my favorite year yet. I thought I knew what love was before I met him and I was wrong.

Quick love story : We met randomly one night out with friends. He knew somebody that I was with. That was  the end of that. Months later, I was out with my girlfriends. We went to a couple bars and ended up going back to the first one we were at. I almost went home! I'm so glad that I didn't. Jarad was there and the rest is history!

To put it simply, he's the Prince Eric to my Ariel. Buuut, when do I every put things simply?

• He's patient and kind.
• He puts up with my crazy girl mood swings.
• He supports me. He's stayed up with me countless nights cutting ribbon for cake pop bags.
• He believes in me.
• He tries to bring me out of my comfort zone.
• He loves food as much as I do.
• He's moving with me to Monterey, so I can have my best friend, the beach, and my boyfriend.
• He taught me that I am worth loving.

Plus a ton of other things that I know you probably don't want to read. So I'll shower you with picture overload instead.

Happy one year, Jarad! I can't wait to see what our next year will be like.

I just realized that Jarad looks different in every picture he takes.

Girls. The right guy will come along. It may take awhile, but he is so worth it.

**UPDATE** He sent me tulips at work. My favorite! <3
