Three years ago, an 18-year-old boy came to hang out with my friends and me for the third day in the row. The first two days my friends had set it up with me knowing it, and I was incredibly awkward. I was a sophomore in high school and tried to avoid the situation. However, the night of the second day I was crushing hard. The third day I invited him to come with us to Dixie Rock, and we talked for hours. Although we talked about ice cream and fire trucks, we talked the entire time which was a huge improvement of me. The rest of the night we looked at Christmas lights and just talked, and I knew he was something special. That night we kissed for the first time. We hung out every day of Christmas break and almost every day for the next six months until I said goodbye that summer.
The next two years were some of the longest and hardest of my life. Greyson was there every step of the way. He was there to write me every Monday morning, and we were able to talk for an hour back and forth on google chats (hands down my favorite app back then). We wrote letters to each other for two years and finding a new batch of them in the mailbox was always the best part of the week. With being able to communicate between letters or emails for two years, we became closer than I could have imagined.
June 5, 2018, was the best day of my life. Greyson returned from his LDS mission, and it was like he never left. My best friend was back! That summer we were able to date, I took him to one of my favorite places: Blanding, we went to Lake Powell and so much more. Now were are dating and I have never been happier. I have never met anyone so selfless and kind. Greyson is the best person I have ever met and is the biggest blessing in my life. He brings me more happiness than I could have ever imagined. Three years ago I opened up to a stranger, although it felt so comfortable. I have always been quiet and have kept to myself. I still am, and I still could talk to him for hours and laugh with him about everything. He knows more about me than anyone else. I knew three years ago that he was someone special and that I could not live without him.
This is to you Greyson, thank you thank you. Thank you for your constant example in my life. I look up to you in every way, and you make me strive to become better. The love that you have for your family and this gospel is so strong. You are selfless, kind, caring, respectful, hilarious (dad jokes and all), and so much more. You are everything to me. Sitting by you on the state bus 38 months ago was the best decision of my life and hanging out with you on Dixie Rock was even a better one. I cannot wait to see where our future leads us to, and I could not be more excited for all of it. I will be here forever and promise to be there for you. I love you. Thank you for all of our memories and for making me the happiest girl in the world.
Happy three years and can't wait for the many more years to come!
