Ryan K. is a very special friend and person in my life. We've had a long distance relationship ever since I moved almost a year ago. So far, we've been together for over 9 months, and I think he's the best. He's sweet, really nice, and in my eyes he's perfect.
There's so many things that's great about him, so many traits I admire. For starters, Ryan is so incredibly down-to-earth! Might not seem like much, but I am on the other hand, really dreamy, so if he's "grounded", then I guess I'd be "clouded". My head's stuck in the clouds most of the time, and if not for Ryan's realism (and the fact that I don't exactly have a million bucks), I'd probably be somewhere out at sea trying to swim with dolphins! (I'm sort of a nut that way.)
I hope I'm having the same impact on him - to be around to lift his spirits when he's too 'grounded'; to remind him that it's okay to dream of the impossible sometimes. That's what dreams are made of! The impossible, the absurd, the unreal.
I think together, we balance each other out. Ryan keeps me from hijacking a space shuttle to the moon, and I keep him from stressing himself out too much. Kinda' like Dharma & Greg . Those who know me might say I'm a little eccentric like Dharma (less bold though), and Ryan's kinda' like Greg. Hardworking, responsible, neat, even works out and plays golf like Greg.
Ryan's practicality and my...well...you could say my insanity; they go together like a 
. Like Dharma and Greg, we're balanced in spirit, guided by heart, and conjoined in soul.

9 months today. It's hard to believe that much time has passed. On the 8th of every month, I always think back to the first time we went out. It was November 8th of '97. He had on a pair of navy blue corduroy shorts and a Billabong tee, and we saw "Bean". Not exactly the movie of my dreams, but sitting beside him was enough of a dream come true. After the movie, our ride was late and I missed the first 15min of my favorite tv show, "Lois & Clark: The new Adventures of Superman". May not seem like much, but that's because you don't know me...if you did, you'd know how I used to obsess about that guy in tights! Well anyway, even though I missed that, I was still extraordinarily happy! Normally I would have been so bummed I'd not talk to a single person for the next day or two, blaming everyone around me, but that time it was different. I must have somehow known that Ryan was going to be the most special person in my life, that the day was going to be day 1 of an incredible 9 months...and still going strong.
August 8th- Dreams Do Come True
A word for Ryan:
Thanks for adding to my life in a way that only you can. I hope that our love and commitment will replace the miles of emptiness between us and allow what we have to grow. I will love you always.
