Year 1

Today is my one year anniversary with Swayzie. I don't think he ever expected it to go this far, but he didn't know me well enough to realize how determined I am. I knew what I wanted, and I wasn't going to wait around until someone else handed it to me. It took me weeks to work up the courage to tell him how I felt, and he didn't make it any easier, being so flirty and touchy while simultaneously telling me he wasn't interested in having a girlfriend. The night of the "Ward Prom" was the night that started it all.


I have read lot's of other posts that bloggers have written, many of them touching, some of them extremely witty and funny. I don't know that I have the ability to do any of those things, and my dear little extrovert love appreciates the meaning behind the old adage "less is more". He forgets the birthdays and I remember them, I spend the money and he saves it. I guess all you need to know, is that he the my cracker to my cheese, my personal cheerleader, my best friend, the one I want to be with forever.

My comfort is that old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more spoil upon my face. Thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst, and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better.

.-Henry V, Shakespeare, Act 5, scene ii


S,
We're in this together, for always. You'll always be my ninja love.
Ti amo,
Jenni Bobo

Emily said...

Congrats on your one year!

It would be so fun to do a post on your blog! Let me know details about when you want me to write. :)

Also, is Jenni Bobo you're nickname? That was too funny- I actually have a friend named Jenni Bobo! (http://therichardbobofamily.blogspot.com/) I was so confused!

millie-Thanks :)

guilty-In the LDS culture, a year is a huge thing. Most people I know get married after dating 3 or 4 months!

emily-I randomly got some mail for Jeni bobo once. And it's a nickname that has stuck ever since.

Lady T-I would love to have 2 days, although I know he would think it is ridiculous :)
