When I count my blessings... I count you twice.

Turn up your volume <3

Tonight I felt the need to sit down, gather my thoughts and write a short “love letter” if you will to a little someone who makes my world better every day by just being in it. You know that American proverb

“Love many

 Trust few,

 Always paddle your own canoe”?

It’s one I used to live by as a single gal living in the city with my life somewhat floating by casually without a care in the world. As fun as it was to paddle that canoe by my lonesome I will say now that I've got the support and love from my special one to help guide me on my journey is well, the cherry that tops my sundae.

I posted once about how someone’s laugh gave me butterflies and how I needed to love the little things instead of worrying about the stupid things…Well 3 years later, relentless ups, down, fights, make ups, moves across the country and endless sweet kisses...his laugh still brings the pit of my stomach into a ball of butterfly goodness. How did I get so lucky? I ask myself this question daily and consider it a question I will never find the answer to because I believe we both are the lucky ones to have really and truly found our peace together. Times are tough, we have our struggles, our crazy passionate fights but the goodnight kiss is what I long for at the end of the day. Never go to bed angry, no matter how mad you are at your boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, or friend. Go to bed with that positive energy surrounding you so that your dreams can really be the dreams they’re meant to be.

I don’t remember the last night I’ve felt this at ease and happy about anything…ever. I’ve never known someone with such strength, determination and love in his soul. As kind as he can he can be he drives me absolutely nuts at times to where all I can think about is throwing the closest thing to me across the room to get out my frustration (same goes for him with me I know) but if I let myself take the oh so important deep breath...it all comes back and I realize, this is what you love about him…his crazy imperfections that drive you nuts because its him! To those who know him, he can come off as a stubborn pain in the ass at times, but that’s fine with me. I don’t need them to know him the way I do, that what’s so special about it.  

So my handsome man, if you’re reading this… thank you for being you and only you. You insprire me to become a better person each and every day so thank you for that. Thank you for putting me in my place daily and telling me to settle down and take it easy. You make my life better every day and I cannot wait to explore this crazy journey we’re starting together.  No matter how much I get frustrated over stupid things…always always always know that you…are…my…favorite xoxo

Happy New Year my friends!
