  This is to my gorgeous babe: nbsp; Happy 6 years ( tomorrow technically)  * raises Coke to celebrate*
 ! nbsp;  I can't believe we weathered this long,  but I must say,  all my shared moments with you are never dull and always interesting. nbsp;
 & nbsp;  & nbsp;  Without you,  I would have never had the support to follow my dreams,
 the intelligent and intuitive person& nbsp; to talk to when experiments& nbsp; go awry, nbsp;
and the shoulder to cry on when I can't deal with it alone. nbsp;  & nbsp; I would have never gone to amazing events where& nbsp;
you hear the music first,  then see the lights through the forest. drawing you in. nbsp; nbsp; I would have never had heated discussions&
nbsp; about physics,  formulas,  and chaos theory. nbsp;  I would have never discussed&
nbsp; Darwinism, nbsp; psychological theories,  World War II,  and hologram&
nbsp; computers with the same person within weeks. nbsp;  I would have never had gone most of the way up the hellish 1300 m climb in Strathcona,  I would have turned back far sooner if it wasn't for you helping me along. nbsp;
 I would have never had such a fantastic dinner and movie companion,  someone who& nbsp; never gripes& nbsp; about the dinner or the movie,
 and raves about it if it was& nbsp; great. nbsp;  I would have never& nbsp;
had someone bring me a glass of wine in the bathtub when he knew I had a really bad day. nbsp;  I would have never had someone& nbsp; write me beautiful poems, nbsp;
or paint me pictures. nbsp;  I would have never& nbsp; had someone who understands my compulsion with cleanliness,  and go out of&
nbsp; his way to adhere to my crazy rules about where things go and how clean the house needs to be,  despite the fact he would happily live much differently. nbsp;  I would have never had& nbsp;
someone who never has a bad word to say about anything I cook ( or burn,  unless it's cookies) nbsp;  I would have never had someone to make me realize and work on my own faults. nbsp;
 I would have never had someone who has the best taste in music,  and plays me the records he loves. nbsp;  I would have never had someone willing to be dragged all over city and country on hikes and walks.  I would have never had someone to appreciate the sound of the waves in Jordan River. nbsp;
 I would have never had someone who stands for what he believes in,  and is one of the most honest people I know. nbsp;  I would have never had someone who is& nbsp; wonderful to listen to when he laughs.
nbsp;  I would& nbsp; have never had someone whose caress is the softest in the world. nbsp;  &
nbsp;  You are a beautiful person,  inside and out,  and I am blessed to know you. nbsp;  &
nbsp;  These pictures are for you,  some to make you remember,  some to make you smile. nbsp;
