One year,

One hospital visit,

Two part-time jobs,

One long-term relationship,

A neverending passion for the arts,

A new appreciaton for hardworkers,

A couple arguments,

A few disagreements,

Many harsh words said,

Many harsh words forgiven,

One trip to the zoo,

Two trips to an amusement park,

Numerous fits of laughter,

Many nights spent crying in a loved one's arms,

Friends' birthdays celebrated,

Smiles to last into the new year,

Countless memories made.
