Brandon wakes me up at 8am. "Come on, come on, come on, cooooome oooooon!" He jumps on the bed. I wake up and give him a death stare. He gets down and I get up. He asks me what day it is. "Uh... Like April 9th I think. Why?" He looks really sad. I go through every day that is close to that date. Then it hits me. Our one year anniversary. I can't believe I forgot it. I yell, "oh my god! Hun I feel so bad! It's our one year!" He tells me to get dressed because we are going out for breakfast after his morning skate. He says he already ate. We go to his morning skate and I still feel awful for forgetting our one year. He stays silent but says he isn't mad. At his morning skate, I make sure his present is still in my wallet. They are tickets to a baseball game, Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs. I had planned for this for a while but I didn't realize the day. Afterwards o go into the locker room to meet with Brandon. I have been around enough that the people he was with when I first met Brandon, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Corey Crawford, have just ended up calling me "Shots" for all the shots I did that night. I hear, "Hey Shots," from Patrick as I walk over to Brandon. "Hey Crazy Kaner," I say. Patrick just laughs. Over the year we have traded the unicorn head back and forth as jokes. Brandon hugs me and says he has his present for me is with him. He hands me a jersey. I am so happy I finally have one of my own that isn't just his. I look on the back and see "Johnsen" and my birth year as the number. I am excited now that I get to wear it to his games. I tell Brandon that his present is coming up tomorrow. Jonathan screams, "HEY SHOTS. ARE YOU SURE THE PRESENT ISN'T FOR TONIGHT!?" then a lot of cheers and whistles break out. I feel myself blush from embarrassment. Jonathan says, "I'm just joking with ya, that's all Shots." I go over and punch him in the arm. We all start laughing and Corey stands up to say something. "Hey! Guys! Hey! SHUT THE FUCK UP! Thank you! I just wanted to say to Brandon and Shots, congrats on staying together for a year. We hope to see more of you Shots!" Brandon says his thanks to everyone and we leave still getting cheers and whistles at us. We go out to lunch and he asks what his present is. I tell him he has to wait until tomorrow. He says he has another present for me tonight, and that ended with a wink. We finish off the day with watching movies. I wake up in his arms at midnight. I wake him up and drag him to bed. He picks me up and takes me into the bedroom. I have to change him out of his clothes because he is already passes out on the bed. We finally go to sleep and just before I go to sleep, I feel him grab my waist and pull me as close as i can get. "I love you baby. Happy one year," is the last thing I hear. The next day I tell him to get his cubs jersey on. I show him the tickets and he picks me up and spins me around the living room. He is so happy. We get there and he seems like a kid in a candy store. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. He keeps kissing me. He gets to see Niklas Hjalmarsson and Jonny Oduya throw out the first pitches. They know brandon is here and have him called up to where they are sitting. We spend the rest of the game with Niklas and Jonny. The Cubs win 10-2. Brandon can't believe how much fun this is. He is in the playoff finals again, he has the sweetest girlfriend, and awesome friends. We get home and he hardly sleeps he is still so happy. He looks at me and says, "How did I ever get you? You are too perfect." At this I realize he is in love with me as much as I love him.
