Happy 23rd, Anya

okay so I made you a website. scroll slowly, no skipping.

Our story

01

Where it started

We met at padel. I showed up for a game and left with my favorite person. Best day of my life, and it's not close.

02

Then it just got easy

I kept waiting for the awkward phase with you. It never showed up. We just kept wanting more time together, and somehow it's never enough.

03

Two Scorpios

Two Scorpios in one relationship sounds like a disaster on paper. It's the opposite. We get each other, the intense parts and the dumb parts.

04

Home

Now we live together, and my place finally feels like a home instead of somewhere I sleep.

05

Vegas, and everything after

Vegas was our first trip together, and now I want a hundred more. More trips, more padel, more falling asleep on the couch way too early. All of it with you.

Things that are so us

1 / 5

The sandwich

Our signature move. One of us lies on top of the other and that's it, nobody is getting up for at least an hour.

2 / 5

Pulling each other's leg

You roast me, I roast you back, and we both end up laughing so hard we can't breathe.

3 / 5

Always sleepy

We are the sleepiest couple alive. Put us on a couch together and we're out in ten minutes.

4 / 5

Hugs

I would hug you all day if you let me. Tap this one, it hugs back.

5 / 5

So comfortable

I can be my full weird self around you. I've never had that this easily with anyone.

Why you're perfect for me

You take care of me. All the time, even on days I don't ask.

You make normal days feel like good days.

I miss you when you're gone. Even a few hours. It's honestly embarrassing.

Same energy, same humor, same need for naps.

You're kind, you're gorgeous, and you're a little bit savage. Perfect combo.

Anya,

Happy 23rd birthday.

I wanted to make you something you could keep, so here it is.

Meeting you at padel was the best day of my life. I mean that. I didn't know it yet, but everything was about to get a lot better.

You take care of me in so many small ways and I notice every single one. I don't say it enough, so I'm saying it here: thank you. I'm so lucky it's you.

I love our sandwiches, our naps, and how we tease each other until we're both crying laughing. I love that I can be completely myself with you. And when you're not around, I miss you. A lot. More than I'd admit out loud.

You're my person. I really think you're my soulmate.

Can't wait for this year with you, and every one after it.

press and hold

I love you.

Neil

I love you.
