8 Years.

8 years ago today, on December 5th, 2001, Brian asked me to be his girlfriend. Which sounds insane as I write this, because at this point in life I am much more than just his "girlfriend." I think the best way to document our relationship for everyone to see (and thoroughly embarrass ourselves by showcasing our awkward phases, such as straight-edge-hardcore and bad-dye-job-Brooklyn) is through pictures!
