(Disclaimer: Those of you who are just here for my sarcasm or rapier wit may just want to skip this entry entirely. Otherwise, please continue.)


Today is my two-and-a-half year anniversary with Lauren, and I just wanted to take the time out to tell her how much I love her and to tell all the world (or the seven people who read this) that she is the most amazing person I've ever known. I honestly believe that I'm the luckiest person on the planet, because what I have is so special and so perfect. Being loved by your best friend and the person whom you admire most in the whole world is a one of a kind experience and one I can't even come close to putting into words. So, the best I can do is just tell you that I love you, baby, and I'm gonna love you forever. Thanks for being the best friend I could ever have. I love you so much, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

"Love You Out Loud"

I have always been a little shy
I've always been the quiet type till now
And I never let my feelings show
I never let anybody know
Just how much I was so deep in love
But now that you're in my arms

I'm gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know
Just what I'm all about
I love to love you out loud

You keep bringing out the free in me
What you do to my heart just makes me melt
And I don't think I can resist
But I've never been one to kiss and tell
A love this true can't be subdued
So I'm gonna let out a yell

I'm gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know
Just what I'm all about
I love to love you out loud

Baby, I want the whole world to see
Just how good your love looks on me

I'm gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know
Just what I'm all about
I love to love you out loud

Baby, I love to love you out loud
Yeah, I love to love you out loud
