Honey, I have known you for six years. Majority of you remains the same as six years ago; few of you has been different. Sometimes you are so detailed and careful but sometimes you are so forgetful. Sometimes you are so not risk-taking but sometimes you are adventurous.

We had a lazy weekend- woke up at noon, casually had a brunch, and then watched TV. You said" I don't want to do anything but only take a (lazy) break at home." " I wasn't like this before- I liked gathering with friends rather than staying at home doing nothing."

Such a change, hmm?

We have been different. Don't want to say it's because we are getting old. I rather say that, people do get opportunities to adjust or grow.

People change. Changes may happen during collage life, during work, during dealing with different groups of people. However, can marriage change a personality? In other words, can love change a person's ways of thinking and treating people?

Horoscope or year of animal may be able to foresee part of personality or future tendency. However, it's a floating world. We are subject to be refined and moldable. It's not the birthday to define us, but WE are the decision makers to determine where we are and where to go and grow.

I like the way we have an opportunity to explore the before/after differences from each other, so I get "new features" from you and you receive some unexpectable variables from me. Although "new features" are not always sweet, they are the fun part in a couple's life.
