My love, I cannot believe it has already been a year. I am so grateful that we have at least 49 more to go, probably 59. It has been such a wonderful year, learning about my wife, what she is like, what our future will be like. It's all I can think about, our future. I want to share everything, and constantly I daydream about what it will be like, to share food with you, to drive with you, to take care of our babies with you. I love you more and more every day. I tell you all the time, but it really is true. I am constantly shocked by the little things that I find myself thinking about you. Just the other day I thought about what it will be like when I teach you about crosswalks and unprotected left hand turns here. I imagined your face and your arms and your voice, and I hoped I would be calm and collected for you. I already know, so completely, that you are faultless. Every time you do or say just about anything, I am enchanted with you and I just can't believe how lucky I am.

Well. For our first anniversary, your gift is this website. Palangging.com. What will we do with it? I don't even know, it's just an idea that I had a month ago and I haven't had too much time to put things in here. But it can change and grow with us. If we want, we could never tell anyone about it, and just keep it our little secret... Maybe one of our kids or grandkids will happen upon it by accident when they look up the thing we call each other. Maybe it will become the #1 search result when someone looks up "palangging," We could make it our wedding website. Lots of couples do that. We could get emails at this domain. So your email could become honey@palangging.com. And it could work with gmail and everything like my @hearonpools email. We could keep a blog here where we write back and forth to each other on important days. We can post pictures from our vacations and have albums and send people links that are from palangging.com. We can make pages for Assi-boo and the bb animals. Or we can leave it and spend our lives together, and it will be kind of like owning a star, if the internet was the night sky. There will be this one little place where we can say we were, and it belonged to us. It was of this moment in time in the 21st century. There was In-n-Out, The Big Bang Theory, and palangging.com. I don't know, I liked the idea. I think it will turn out to be our secret public journal. A notebook in a log in the woods, where we sneak away and write sweet nothings to each other and technically anyone could find it if they knew where to look, but no one ever would unless we told them. I love you so so so much palangging. I can't wait to share life with you. Muah!
