text: do you remember the first time you heard the words i love you from your partner? tell me the details of it?   yep, i remember... we were sitting in his truck out by a pond in the desert. it was dec. 23 2004, and he was on christmas leave from the navy. we hadn't even starting dating yet (technically, this was the day we use) but had know each other for years. we dated in the past, then he became my best friend. well, we were both cuddled up on the passenger seat (we were sort of kissing and cuddling at lot since he had been home, but never made anything official until the hour before he said i love you), listening to the radio and about to watch the sun rise.  he said, "you know i kind of like you." my reply, "yes, i know." his response, "okay, well then, i love you." i say, "i know that too." he looks at me, confused and asks, "how do you know that?" i replied, "it's been obvious for the past few years." he proposed on valentine's day 2005, and we were married july 7, 2005. still going good!
