Our journey began on the running paths of Milestone, where amidst the rhythm of footsteps and shared determination, we found each other. What started as conversations between training intervals soon blossomed into something profoundly meaningful.
Even on our first date, I somehow knew where we were headed. I shared a dream with you then—a vision of our future together that is now unfolding exactly as predicted. Perhaps it was intuition, or perhaps it was simply the certainty I felt in my heart when I looked at you.
As our relationship deepened, coffee dates led to dinner dates, where I fell in love with your culinary artistry—your dishes perfectly balanced with that special touch of OSD that makes them extraordinary. Those meals nourished not just our bodies but our growing connection, eventually leading us to commit our lives to one another.
I treasure the memory of watching you complete the Rock and Roll half marathon with such grace and determination, even while fighting in your carrier. My Loveberry, your strength inspires me daily. The precious moments we've created together—from our summer explorations through Europe to cozy Christmas celebrations in Austin—have woven the beautiful tapestry of our relationship.
Now, we prepare for parenthood—our most meaningful journey yet. Just as we've supported each other through every challenging run and celebrated every finish line together, we'll navigate this new path with the same love and partnership.
From running partners to life partners to parents—our journey continues to unfold with beauty and purpose. I cherish every step of this path we walk together, my beloved Rachel.
