    Tomorrow is the 2-year anniversary of our first date, and it got me thinking about milestones. In the past 2 years, we've fallen in love, met each others' families, lost jobs, gained jobs, one of us moved cross-country, we got engaged, and now we are a couple months away from moving in together. It's just crazy that our lives have changed so much in two years!

     

    How about you?

    WE had already started talking about marriage, knowing it was a far way off. Met eachothers families, traveled across the country together to do it! And were living an hour a part at different school... and sleeping over in tiny dorm beds every chance we could get.

    On our actual 2 year anniversary, FI turned 21. :) We had just moved in together a few months prior. We were in the middle of college. We didn't have our puppies yet and we were pretty far from being engaged, but we were happy. :)

    We JUST moved into our own apartment at the start of our 2 yr anni (after living with room mates for a year), bought a pet together, went to Miami, then Italy, and partied it up.... (I was only 21 when we hit our 2 year mark!)

    Today is actually 2 years and 3 months for us, at 2 years we were completing our marriage prep course, engaged and had most of our wedding planned. Our complete immediate familes (minus brothers) had just met over a weekend, even though we had each spent time with each. We had gone through the major hurdles in the first year (revealing emotional scars, dealing with related issues, being 1500 miles apart for the summer, etc).

    After 2 years we had already lived together for a year and a half and were on our second apartment. Our families had all met (that happened within the first month or so) and we were starting to combine finances. I had just gotten my job at the company FI worked for (we still both work for the same company) and life was really good. 

    Our 2 year anniversary feels like such a long time ago. We'll be celebrating 6 years in May!

    We're just over two years into our relationship; in that time, I finished undergrad, he received his grad degree, he moved, I got a full-time job, and all the marriage stuff of course. The next two years will bring just as many changes, I think--another move, work, international travel, writing music and books. Life never ceases to amaze. :)

    We had just gotten engaged, we had lived together for a year, we had spent lots of time with each other's families and our parents had met.  We were in our third year of med school (the hardest) and between that and living together, we had been through a lot and felt really strong in our relationship.  We'll get married five days after our three-year anniversary.

    our 2 year anniversary was almost 3 years ago (er, 2 years 8 months ago...)--wow time flies!!

    we were just moving in together and getting our furbaby. we'd survived being long distance and each of us starting new jobs. my brother's wedding was about a week before our anniversary, so though we had already met each others' immediate fam a bunch of times, he met my entire extended family too. i was starting to think about weddings bc of my bro's and started feeling like i was ready, thoguh i was totally happy to live together for awhile first...

    We had met each others families, moved in together a year ago and were just getting ready to pack up from moving to Brooklyn to now move to Miami Beach, lol!  We love really traveling around, living in different places and seeing what's there.  We were just doing what we do now - enjoying each other, not placing expectations on our relationship and just letting our lives progress together organically....now we've been together 7.5 years and still feel just as giddy and new as back then in Brooklyn..:)

    We can't decide whether our anniversary is our first kiss (Feb. 7) or our first date (Feb. 14). I'm a slutty one, I know. Either way, we've been celebrating our two-year anniversary this whole week!

    Our two year "anniversary" (counting from when we started dating) is still 5 months away!

    So I definitely know what you mean about how much can change in such a short time. :)

    At 2 years we had just moved into an apartment together. We shared our pets. I was 30 and he was 31.  I was itching for a proposal soon and started the waiting game. Little did I know I had another year to go.

    We had bought our home and moved in, I fell very ill and SO was taking care of me. We were suppose to be so happy, but my illness was weighing heavy on us. Luckily now I am better and our lives are completely amazing. Wish I could have skipped those few months but it really showed me what SO was made of, that he was ok with "in sickness and in health".

    We started dating when I was 16. Two years into our relationship we were in university and although we had discussed getting married one day, we were very far off from any sort of plan. We were both still living at home and concentrating on our education. I then decided to go away to school..and we had a long distance relationship for 4 years. Last Christmas (Christmas 2009) I came home for good and it was then that we started talking seriously about marriage. We moved in together June 2010 and we were engaged this past november :)

    Our two-year anniversary is 7 weeks away, but here is where we are so far:

    Since we've met, we've fallen in love, been on three holidays abroad, met each other's families, celebrated our first Christmas together, he's visited my home country with me, we had to deal with his grandfather's death, he supported me through an extremely difficult period when my younger brother was diagnosed with a serious illness, I graduated from university and we've moved in together. So much has changed since we've met and I think the next two years will be just as amazing as the first two :-)

    We were both 19 and very much in love... so greatful for hitting the 2 year mark since neither of us had ever been in a relationship that long without taking breaks. We had gone through so much in two years from him battling to quit his addiction of weed to his temper problems to both of us going to each others prom's and graduating and me starting at a university with him at a community college and me joining a sorority , he dropping out of community college and going to truck driving school with my grandfather being extremely ill and put into rehab... from trips to myrtle beach, washington dc, and cancun! me deciding to leave my university for beauty school and then an engagement on Christmas just days before our 2 year anniversary :)

    miss ranunculus    June 2, 2012   Columbus...reluctantly moving to Austin

    Let's see - 2 years in we had been living together for almost a year.  During the first two years we did 6 months of long distance, met each others families, drove across the country together, moved in together officially, I completed my B.A., he defended his PhD and we adopted a puppy.  At two years were were still about 6 months away from him proposing, and 8 months away from us officially being engaged.

    We just moved in together, going to university, and really going through lots of ups and downs! We really had to figure a lot of things out about each other. Best thing we could have done! I don't know how people can NOT live together before marriage (of course there are reasons and personal decisions which I don't judge), but it would be hard to be a newlywed and trying to live with someone new! That's just my opinion!
