You've got a friend in me!

One of my favorite parts of our relationship is our deep friendship. I consider you my very best friend, Jesus!  I love how we can just be goofy together, play jokes, and be ourselves.  I love our inside jokes....wouter smook, man thong, oh my lanta.... :) I absolutely LOVE our first dance song!  The words are so perfect for our relationship and a perfect representation of how any marriage should be.  I hope you always know that you have a friend in me!

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by
our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Valentine's Day

Yesterday was Valentine's day!  I was really busy at work all day and it was so amazing to get to go out on a wonderful date with you  and celebrate our love! We started out our date going out to our faaavorite restaurant, Red Robin.  I love sharing a burger with you and those fries are to die for- especially with a little ranch and a little sweet chile sauce ;) we then headed over to your brother's house to give our beautiful nieces their cards and cookies.  I love those little girls so much! It is really going to be fun living so close to them and watching them grow up! The girls kept hitting their singing balloons that their dad gave them and telling me they were at a concert and dancing...so cute! Then we went to go see "The Vow", which was really cute and I love how you get so wrapped up in girly movies just for me. and the best part of the day was my present... i am going to treasure it forever!  yesterday, we talked about how neither of us really remembers any previous Valentine's days...so I wanted to document our amazing date yesterday so we can always remember :) i look forward to many, many more Valentine's days with you over the years ;)

remembering the past, looking toward our future :)

Hello handsome :)
I am so excited for you to read these all in a few months... I still have not figured out what else to get you as a groom's gift, but I know that you will love this part of your present! 

Today, we found out that another one of our friends/family is pregnant.  It is crazy how many babies are going to be born this summer! It makes me think about our future and how excited we will feel when it is our turn.  Isn't it amazing to think about a new little person that will be our creation and will reflect our personalities, looks, and characters? I cannot wait to start a family with you!  OK, yes, I can wait.  I am excited to have a few years just to ourselves and to spend our time loving on each other and growing together! 

It is amazing that it has been over 4 years since our first kiss and that we have been engaged for over 6 months! I love remembering our first kiss and how awkward it was.  I love thinking about those first few months of our relationship and remembering those butterflies and messaging on myspace and our first few dates. Those memories are so special to me and I will always treasure them in my heart! I am so excited for when we are old and gray and celebrating 50 years since our first kiss! :)

Te amo munch munch munch!

lime green sweater!

Today was gorgeous outside and since it was a Saturday and I could afford to waste some time, I went shopping.  I wasn't looking for anything in particular.  I found a lime green sweater on clearance at American Eagle and just had to get it.  All I could think about was how much you would love it because of the color.  I can just imagine wearing my lime green sweater and yoga pants and cozying up on our couch to watch a movie... :) I am soooo excited to live together! It is really fun thinking about how we are going to decorate our house and what furniture we want to buy.  I am so excited to get our wedding gifts and see if we get all the stuff on our registries- those beautiful gray sheets, that amazing down comforter, those fun wine glasses, the gorgeous blue bath towels, that waffle maker! I can just imagine sharing each item with you and it makes me smile and feel so happy :) I am counting down the days until we get our house and until I get to marry you! You are truly my dream come true!
