Thoughts on Kammi Kangas Part 2: I Love This Life We Live

As promised here is part two of blogs devoted to you...
Yes that rymed and it was supposed to...

Anyways. Beyond everything I have talked about and everything I have left out. Beyond all the wonderful things about you, the things that make you YOU and the things that make me love being with you; comes the one of the most important things. Your affect on my life. I hope that doesn't sound selfish, it's not meant to. I love my life. I have loved my life with you more then any period of my life. I love our routines and phases. It has only been one year, but we have been through so much. It started with long distance, seeing you only on weekends, mostly because you always drove to Madison to see me. I loved this phase. I loved Skyping with you every night during the week and I loved spending the weekends with you. I loved that I wasn't out partying and doing dumb stuff, I was with you. Having a meaningful and serious relationship that I knew would last for a lifetime. During this phase we hatched a daring plan for the coming summer. Despite the common idea that living with a significant other early on in a relationship was a bad idea, we decided to spend the summer together. Your wonderful family welcomed me into their home and we both found jobs. And it turned out to be a wonderful summer. We spent every waking moment outside of work with each other. Most of the time your parents were gone and it was just. We played "House" all summer. In my opinion it could not have gone any better. I absolutely loved every minute of it. We celebrated my birthday, among other holidays, and shared many special times together. We got a glimpse of our wonderful future that summer and it pulled us even closer together.

Sadly that summer came to an end. It was a sad day when I left Crosslake. But we both knew that we could do the distance thing. Again you showed your commitment to me by driving back and forth all the time for visits. This was a new phase in our relationship, but of course it worked. It worked wonderfully. I loved how much better i felt going to class everyday having woken up next to you and knowing I would be coming back home to you. Having you here motivated me to get my homework done as fast as possible, but your guidance and support made sure I didn't rush too much, made sure I did well. And I did do well, thanks to you. Always there for me in every way possible. This phase led us to where we are today. I got my way (  :)  )  and you moved down to Madison for the semester. We moved into the big room and you started working. Things are going well so far, I know we both wish we had more time together, but there you are again! Making every effort you can to spend time with me. Meeting me for lunch, if only for a half hour, and giving rides to and from class when the weather is terrible (it has been a lot).

All of this has cemented the fact that no matter what happens, no matter what the situation, we will endure. I know that you will always do everything you can for this relationship and I hope that i have demonstrated that I would do the same. I found my self walking the streets of Madison tonight, to see you and get dinner on your break. Luckily it had gotten a bit warmer, a whole 14 degrees! Well it was negative 7 when you came to get lunch with me. But I made it (I got on the bus eventually and it wasn't so bad) and then you gave me a ride home. There is now way you would have seen me walk back in the cold. You are always there fore me, always watching out for me. I love you. I will always love you. Now the internet knows it...

Here is your song. I know you kinda hate Coheed and Cambria, but I love this song and if you listen to the lyrics you will realize why...
Love you Kammi, happy birthday and happy birthday. I look forward to many many more of both spent with you. Now get off of work and come home!
