Ab and Park

a collection of memories



Dear Ab,
This site is exactly what it says it is: a collection of memories. For your birthday, I wanted to do something extra special, something that you could look back on during college. As we both know, I am absolutely awful at art so I couldn't make anything physical so I figured I'd do something I'm actually good at, and thus, I thought of abandpark.com. I think of it as a look back on our relationship and everything we've been through together. Also keep in mind my terrible memory so some of the dates might be a bit off lol.

It's funny, I've thought of a million different ways of writing this and each draft I've written hasn't been what I wanted. I've realized as I've sat down to actually put my thoughts and feelings into words that it's extremely difficult. When I say, "I love you beyond words" in our texts, I mean that entirely. Here is my best attempt though, one of many, many attempts.

You are the single greatest thing to ever happen to me. Every time I see your name pop up on my phone I still get that warm excited feeling you get when you're starting a new relationship. Yes, even a year and a half later I still get that feeling. You light up my entire world Abby and I could not be more grateful for everything you have done for me. You have helped me through some of my worst days and been there for my best. Your smile instantly makes me relax and remember to enjoy the time I have with you. Your laugh is incredibly contagious and I cannot help but laugh with you. I get lost in your eyes every time I look at them. I feel so loved when I'm with you. Every time I see you, my day instantly becomes ten times better. I love listening to your voice. I could spend hours listening to you talk about anything and everything. Every time I see Ruby pulling into my driveway, my face lights up and I rush down to the garage. I kid you not, every single time. When we're away at college, if I see a bright red Ford Focus driving down the street, I'm gonna think of you and you can bet I'll text you about it too.

Ok I know I'm rambling but I do that when I just have so much to say. Even though we'll be away from each other for a long time, I have complete faith in the future of our relationship. We've been through ups and downs and twists and turns and yet we're still here. I will always love you Ab. Nothing can change that. Nothing will ever change that. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being my favorite person. Thank you for being everything to me. Happy birthday my love.
Love, Park ❤

  • First Date

    04/13/2021

    This was our first picture together, on our first date. Everything changed in my life from this point on and I couldn't be happier.

  • Second Date

    04/27/2021

    This is still one of my favorite pictures and it came from our second date. The time has honestly flown by but at the same time, it doesn't feel like it. I feel like we've been dating for so long yet also feel like we took this picture a week ago. It's crazy how that works.

  • Creek Life

    05/06/2021

    We spent the majority of our first few dates at the Creek and this was no exception. I even remember when you purposefully stood in a small ditch for this picture so you could look shorter than me. 😂

  • After Vacation

    07/11/2021

    Ewww when I cut my hair really short. That was bad but it was nice when I was in Vegas with 100° heat. Anyways, I had just gotten back from vacation after not seeing you for 3 weeks because you had gone on vacation the weeks before. I remember that being torture but when I finally did get to see you again, it was so exciting. I believe it was also the first time I was over your house for longer than a minute to pick you up lol.

  • Bowling

    07/25/2021

    I honestly can't remember if this was before or after bowling but this was the day we went bowling with my mom and Noah and it was super fun. Even though that sounds lame, it wasn't.

  • Cute Pic

    08/08/2021

    Ewwww still with the short hair. Anyways I don't actually remember what we were doing when this picture was taken but it was cute so I included it (although I wish my hair wasn't so short 😭).

  • Fishing

    09/03/2021

    I love how we were out there for like 3 hours and didn't catch a single fish. Oh and then Ashleigh came to visit so that was fun. Also CHEEZ-ITS!!!

  • After Work

    09/04/2021

    I know you didn't like working at Panera but hey, you came to visit me after work sometimes and we'd talk for a while out there so that was always fun. There was at least one good thing that came out of working there. That and free food.

  • After School Pizza

    09/09/2021

    I remember how you loved this picture and I hated it because it looks like I'm about to burst out crying lmao. I miss the days when we could go out to eat somewhere after school and just chill. That will definitely be something I'll miss doing with you when we go to college.

  • After School McDonalds

    09/21/2021

    I don't know how much money we must've spent on food that year but we were eating somewhere pretty much every day lol. Can't say I'm complaining though because it means I got to spend more time with you.

  • Silly Pic

    09/29/2021

    The ONE TIME you beat me in Mario Kart... I will always be better than you at Mario Kart and I refuse to think otherwise.

  • Cute Pic Again

    10/05/2021

    I don't know how many cute pictures we've taken but it's defnitely been quite a few. The lighting sucks in this one but you still look so cute. You always make me feel so loved.

  • Silly Pic Again

    10/17/2021

    Just like cute pics, we take quite a lot of silly ones too. You have no idea how much those hours we spent sitting on my couch just talking about anything and everything meant to me. You got me through some tough times and I couldn't be more grateful.

  • Homecoming

    10/20/2021

    Homecoming itself was lame af but the night was still incredibly fun. I think Isabella still thinks I drive like a lunatic after we all went to Red Robin and she said "Parker you suck at driving, I feel sick." Whoops...

  • Halloween

    10/31/2021

    Even though I'm not much for dressing up, I think the Timmy Turner and Trixie outfits turned out really well. It was fun walking around the neighborhood with you, Lilly, and Chuck. We scored a ton of candy too. Pretty cool night.

  • PRINGLES!!!

    11/09/2021

    I still love this pic. I don't know how many cans of Pringles we ate during our half hour of lunch every day but it was probably more than we should have lmao.

  • Cute and Silly Pic in One

    11/10/2021

    This was my favorite picture of us for a long time. I couldn't tell you why I loved it so much but I just did and still do. Actually, I could say that for most of the pictures we take. Maybe I just like looking at you lol.

  • Silly Pic Again (Again)

    02/28/2022

    I don't remember why I was so energetic that day but I remember just singing loudly and generally being a bit stupid. For what it's worth, it was fun and I will always cherish the stupid and silly moments I've had with you.

  • Soccer Banquet

    03/06/2022

    This is why we need country club money because look at that sunset. Not to mention how good we look standing in front of it.

  • First Beemer Trip

    05/13/2022

    To this day I'm still surprised my dad actually let me drive that thing. Anyways, I absolutely love the Beemer and I'm so glad we got to drive it around before prom.

  • Prom

    05/20/2022

    Prom itself was meh but I loved spending time with you regardless. You looked absolutely breathtaking (you always do) and even though I hate dressing up most of the time, I wish we got to do it more.

  • Prom Again

    05/20/2022

    Had to put this one in here too. I don't know man, we're just super cute.

  • After Prom

    05/20/2022

    We were both exhausted after prom and I think here I almost fell asleep lol. But anyways, cute pic as always.

  • Senior Skip Day

    05/27/2022

    Going to the beach with you, Ashleigh, Adam, and Isabella was so fun even though I got super sunburnt. We learned that you're terrible at Spikeball too. You say you're better now but we'll see about that next time we play.

  • Graduation

    06/22/2022

    It's crazy to think that we're actually out of high school and going to college now. I knew this time would come eventually but I didn't expect it to be so soon. All the highs and lows of high school aside, I'm so glad I got to spend my last year of it with you.

  • Last Silly Pic (I Swear)

    06/29/2022

    What can I say? We take a lot of silly pictures and I wanted to include them. How else are you gonna laugh at our stupidity when we're away from each other lol.

  • Cute Pic Again (Again)

    07/01/2022

    This ws when we went to the orchestra but we saw this beautiful bridge of flowers so we stopped for a closer look. I had so much fun that night even though the Ben and Jerry's line was sooooo long the entire time lol.

  • Lake House

    07/03/2022

    I LOVE my grandfather's lake house and I'm glad I got to spend some time with you there this summer. Hopefully we can go back there for many summers to come.
