Dear Ayesha,
This last year has truly been the best year of my life. I moved to UCR and began a new chapter of my life away from home, started
my job and of course, I met you. Every minute we spend together feels so special, and every second I’m not with you I wish I was.
You are the most thoughtful, caring, and beautiful person I know, inside and out. Not only were you my first kiss and my first
girlfriend, you were also the first person I ever fell in love with. We have created so many memories together since last summer,
and if the past year in any way resembles what the future holds for us, then I can truly see myself with you forever. I wanted this
card to be full of sarcasm and stupid jokes, but my emotions took over and I am finally expressing them. Believe it or not, I am
actually crying for the first time in 7 years while writing this and reminiscing about the past 12 months with you. I am so lucky
to be able to call you not just my girlfriend, but my best friend :) Happy 1st anniversary! I love you to the moon and back you
little egghead!
Love,
Ryan
