The day has finally arrived, we shared the first part together with friends. Sharing toasts and simply having fun. It was a nice way to start the celebration. After that we headed towards the hotel. I stayed at the poolside while she makes preparations. She rang me on my phone so I went up to greet her once more. When I reached the door to our room, she opened it and covered my eyes with her sweet, soft hands. She guided me towards the bed and greeted me. "Happy Anniversary, Baby!" When I opened my eyes, I could not believe the beauty that was right in front of me. The bed had a cloth in the middle, rose petals were scattered all around. There was a box with roses attached to it. There was also a bottle of wine inside the icebox. Candles were quietly but brightly burning around the room. It was a sight to see. My heart was warmed and I felt like crying tears of joy. I am lost for words and I know I will never be able to use them to explain what I saw. We had the time of our lives... alone... together... it was a brief moment of heaven.

The day after was seemingly normal. I fetched her from her house and went to some familiar places. We had dinner. We still had fun. Indeed everything was seemingly normal but we both know that there is something special. We've been loving each other for a year now. We are going strong. Perhaps even stronger than ever before. I can't believe how lucky I am to have Candice in my life.

The anniversary is just for one day. It's done. But there will be more to come. It's just the start of a loving life together. It's the first day of the rest of our lives...

I've never been happier...
