Countdown to 5 years: 5 reasons why I love you: 4

On March 19, 2011, my relationship with my editor began. We've been through a lot since then, but I wanted to take a quick moment on the five days leading to our official anniversary by saying one thing about my editor that l love. (Wow, that was a run on sentence. Sorry.)

I once made a post on Facebook about how you always inspire my adventurous spirit, and it remains true to this day. Getting out and being able to explore this world with you is one of my favorite things ever, mostly because I get to do it with you. Honestly I don't care if it's the real world we are exploring or some fictional world, it's way more fun being together. We have traversed many lands together.

We've driven across the country multiple times and flew around it a few as well, especially last year. Our first trip together was when we went from where you lived in New Mexico all the way Wichita Falls for the damnned YuGiOh movie. The second was when you come up with me and my mother to visit where we live now (and we know how that turned out). After we moved up here we went back down to New Mexico to help my parents move to South Carolina. Our first spring break after getting together, we went and explored the California desert. We go out on walks all the time and end up and some restaurant we've never been to just on a whim. And don't even get me started on our trips to Austin, TX. But it's not just traveling with you that's fun.

The unbelievable amount of time we have spent in Minecraft or in 7 Days to Die, building and exploring those worlds, I love spending time with you doing that. I don't even want to play on my own because playing with you is so much fun. We've learned how to compliment each other's style of play in a Halo firefight, you being the marksman and I the firebird. You also love watching me play other video games. You've witnessed me save the galaxy so many times, stop sociopathic AIs, and be the Hero of Time over and over and over. You even like watching me play Animal Crossing where I'm just doing small things here and there for my town (and by the way I still want to record our let's play in it, hopefully next week). I think one of our biggest accomplishments right now is how we have successfully completed Fallout 4, which is a single player game, cooperatively. We made a joint character and made choices in the game together. I thought it was going to be as hard as playing Portal 2's co-op mode but it was really easy. I would play and then you would play and we would switch back and forth whenever the other wanted (though I did hog it a lot and I'm sorry but I needed to get Hancock to love me)!

One other thing that I love is how much you show that you want to be a part of MY universe. You've sat with me and watched and read story after story and have better understood me thanks to them. That means the world to me! I can't ever really show just how much it does but even the small things like that are what I look back on fondly. You are my partner, my comrade, you have become an essential part of my being and I do not regret one second of it!
