as i am sitting here, supposedly studying arrhythmias for the naplex and waiting for chieu to come...t-minus 6 hours, i realize more and more how lucky i am to have him in my life. i forget sometimes, how after being together for so long, the unspoken reassurances that are there. sometimes, i miss the excitement of a new relationship, the first date, the first kiss, all the nerves and the new relationship glow. but all that fades, and if you're lucky, a secure, honest, faithful relationship prevails. many times, i forget to appreciate all those things. today, i am very thankful.
