Memories are easy to get, but hard to keep. Well, hard to keep unless you don't want to remember the moment. The second you want to erase something from your mind, you just can't get rid of it. It's burned inside of your brain, and it all keeps coming back to you.

Oh how I wish I could forget my high school days. I was such a wreck back then. Good friends vanished, constantly fighting with Ben (who is the best older brother ever), abusive boyfriend, having to go through therapy. I was so glad to finally move away. The first place I moved to after high school was to a Tannersville apartment with the best boyfriend ever, Zeke Landon. How lucky I am, I don't even know the extent yet, but I hope I will in the future.

Today, I woke up like usual, getting ready to go work at the Tannersville police station. Still a rookie with so much more left to learn, but I love having my badge. There have been many bad cops in the United States, but I hope that Officer Stone can be known as one of the best!

So, I took a shower, got dressed, picked up my badge, walked out to the dining room of our apartment, and there he was. My amazing boyfriend surprised me with breakfast! We just talked for a minute while eating Zeke's super delicious organic toast.

We were just chatting about our date to the carnival tomorrow when Zeke just decides to get up and play a song through the new speaker I got him last Christmas. I recognized the beat immediately.

A couple of months ago when Zeke and I moved to Tannersville, we found this amazing song on the radio: "Light Years" by Sarah and Isa. The moment we heard it, it became our song. Any time we need to calm down or just slow dance in the kitchen, one of us plays that song.

Ok, so anyways, Light Years was playing in the background when he told me that he has a surprise for me. I was surprised since it isn't even my birthday yet, but still opened the neatly wrapped gift, revealing a journal. Not just any journal, but it's personalized. The front has my badge number and full name laser engraved on it. He told me that he wants me to be able to vent whenever I'm not able to talk to him or just remember how amazing I am.

Never hated leaving for work more than today. I'm so grateful to have met him.

I hate to admit it sometimes, but I love these kinds of cheesy romantic things. Zeke knows this, and it's absolutely adorable how he goes out of his way to go the extra mile for me.

Lately he has been treating me extra special. I wonder what this means for us going forward? I'm hoping for the best!
