The anniversary

My one year anniversary was amazing. When I walked in to the hotel room with Jackson I noticed a room covered in red rose petals and a bed with two long stem roses outlining the shape of a heart. It was a gorgeous room and Jackson got me a really lovely present. He bought me a asilver bracelet with a little silver bead that has a diamond on it. I couldn't be happier. He said that you can get more beads to go on the bracelet.

We went out for dinner and the meals were really nice. Jackson had a seafood pizza and I had pork with vegetables. The we romantically shared a piece of flourless chocolate cake. Truely delicious! He paid which I thought was really nice. Although I'm all for splitting the bill or one paying one week - the other the next; I'm quite traditional when I say it's always nice when the guy pays. It's such a nice guesture. Especially because he wasn't doing it in an unpleasant manner or to get something out of it. He just wanted to take me somewhere nice out of the kindness of his heart.

I really love Jackson. I think this anniversary was really special and helped heal our relationship. With the fighting and nagging that has been going on between us every now and then... well a littel more frequently than that; some time escaping from it all when we were both on our best behaviour was just what we needed. It's like we had open wounds that were just sitting there, not healing but somehow getting worse and we have put a bandage over those wounds. I know that must sound stupid, but it's true. When you keep fighting and not enjoying eachother's presence the way you used to, it starts to taint the realtionship and your friendship and although you want things to get better; they don't. I guess that is why I stared looking around and searching for alternatives. But hopefully we are on the road to recovery, being a whole new chapter in our lives as a couple.

I have to say this past year has been one of the best years of my life. I think Jackson and I have really growed as a couple and as individuals and it has helped us a lot. However I am getting rather tired and as I have work tomorrow (and then am going out to a party) I should have a bit of a sleep. Oh by the way, i am not sure if I have previously mentioned this - but I am just about to start doing work experience with a well-known magazine company and working directly with the marketing/advertising people. I am meeting them Monday which is pretty exciting, just before my first day back at uni.

Well that's it from me. Goodnight xoxo
