• 8/8/2012 - My self esteem can be pretty iffy sometimes. Can you build me up?
  • 8/28/2012 - I'm so so bad about waking up on time. Be my alarm clock, please.
  • 9/18/2012 - Can we have dedicated snuggle-and-don't-move days? Sometimes, I just need to be lazy.
  • 1/20/2013 - My feet are constantly cold. I hope you don't mind being my personal foot warmer.
  • 1/31/2013 - I have a bad habit of overanalyzing situations. Thank you for talking me down.
  • 2/5/2013 - Even though I don't show it often, I can get upset pretty easily. Remind me that not everyone is out to get me.
  • 2/6/2013 - Please don't hesitate to let me know how I can make YOUR life better. Relationships require communication.
  • 2/20/2013 - To be honest, I'm a hopeless romantic. Can you sweep me off my feet?
  • 3/1/2013 - Although I'm trying to get better at this, I'm not very good at sticking to a budget. This is going to be a difficult task for me. I hope you're better at it than I am!
  • 3/12/2013 - I would be perfectly content to curl up beside you on a couch for a few hours and read a book while you play some xbox game with your friends. I just like company.
  • 3/17/2013 - I'm terrible about remembering to read my bible. I need you to keep me accountable.
  • 3/20/2013 - I don't care where we live. I truly believe that I could live almost anywhere. I only have two requirements. (1) Wherever we go has to have a strong enough church. God has to be our first priority. (2) I have to be able to visit my family at least once every six months. This is non-negotiable.
  • 3/22/2013 - I think I know that you're the one. I could sit on a couch and make funny faces at you while we eat cheap fast food for the rest of my life. I would drop everything I know in a heartbeat and move across the world for you if you would just ask.
  • 5/2/2013 - Somewhere along the way, your "me's" became "we's." When did that happen?
  • 5/20/2013 - I'm terrified that I'm going to disappoint you, that I'm going to mess up this amazing thing that we have together. Are you willing to accept the mess that I am? Can you look past the crazy?
  • 5/25/2013 - I miss you so much.
  • 5/30/2013 - Today, I finally realized that you're planning to keep me around for the long haul. When did you let me in?
  • 6/11/2013 - It was a hard weekend for me, and probably a harder week ahead of me. Thank you for loving me, and talking about stupid things to get my mind off of the sadness of loss. All I want is a big bear hug, but a warm phone call will do for now.
  • 6/17/2013 - We're about a third of the way through our summer apart, and I'm genuinely missing you now. Not the "pining for you to come back" kind, but the "you should be here for this" kind of missing you. The kind that makes me sad that you've missed out on so much that's going on this summer with me, and I with you. I know we have around two months left, but that doesn't make it very much easier. Come home soon, dear.
  • 7/3/2013 - You asked me if I still wanted to marry you in the future, and seemed a little bit shocked when I said yes. You said that you don't know if you genuinely love me, or if you just think that you do. To be honest, I feel the same. Love is a terrifying prospect, something that I'm not too sure that I have a true grasp of. Trust me, though. If I love anyone in this world, it's you.
  • 7/9/2013 - Do you want to know what my favorite thing about you is? You're 100% true to who you are, 100% of the time. You have this effortless confidence about you, and I wish that I could cultivate that in my own life.
  • 7/15/2013 - I'm realizing more and more how we complement each other. Where you're adventurous, I'm cautious. Where I'm scared, you're fearless. Where you're emotionally closed, I'm open. It's strange, but we just fit. And more than that, you help me get out of my shell. You make me better.
  • 7/17/2013 - Just thinking about you doing the "wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeaaaaah," dance sends me into a fit of laughter. I'm so glad you make me laugh!
  • 7/23/2013 - When I think about you, I think about the feeling I get at the top of a swing. That moment that I hover, weightless, thinking that I could fly if I tried hard enough. You make me feel like I can do anything.
  • 7/23/2013 - I sometimes wonder how you function in daily life. You have so many health issues while I'm so healthy. I forget to be grateful, but you're helping remind me how fortunate I really am.
  • 8/6/2013 - Sometimes, we have silly arguments, fighting because we both desperately need a win. You get frustrated and demand my compliance and I stubbornly hold my ground, knowing that I can win if I try hard enough. I usually give in, eager to get past it.
  • 8/7/2013 - Sometimes, you let me see your softer side, the side of you that you hide from others. You show me your weaknesses, your fears. Your willingness to be vulnerable makes me want to protect you, to keep you safe from all of the things that scare you most.
  • 8/9/13 - Tomorrow morning, you come home. I have a feeling that things are going to be different, that you'll be anxious to leave again. Do you want me to come with you?
  • 8/10/2013 - You were offered a job in Atlanta, and I think you're going to take it. It pays well, but it's 3 hours away from me, just like this summer. Only minutes and highways would separate us, but would we grow apart in those miles?
  • 8/11/2013 - You talk about marriage, and the issues we're facing. Graduate school, houses, jobs, children. All that fades away when I realize that someday, I could be married to you, and we would work through this together. Nothing seems so scary with someone else by your side.
  • 8/13/2013 - Help me learn to love myself. Help me learn my self-worth.
  • 8/14/2013 - Your patience with my high strung tendencies astounds me. You help bring me back to earth, calming me down with your presence alone.
  • 8/17/2013 - You laugh and tell me that you wish you had superpowers, but I know that you already have them.
  • 8/19/2013 - Some days, I just want to sleep in and watch the world pass me by. Would you let me do that?
  • 8/22/2013 - I know you get frustrated by my lack of courage in new situations. I'm thankful that you're willing to let me take my time and warm up to these things.
  • 8/25/2013 - Some days, you seem a million miles away. Let me into your head. Let me see your thoughts. Let me help you.
  • 8/27/2013 - You accepted the job in Atlanta, and the clock is ticking on the time we have left. 158 days is not a very long time.
  • 8/29/2013 - On days that I'm stressed, I wish that I could somehow magically appear beside you. You always know what to say to make me calm again.
  • 8/30/2013 - I love talking to you about everything and nothing, watching your face light up when you get excited about the minutia of your day.
  • 8/31/2013 - You want to sign us up for dance lessons, and I realize that this is one of the reasons I love you. You have no shame or fear, only excitement for new experiences.
  • 9/3/2013 - Just when I think I know you, you peel back another layer of your personality and show me something new. I never want to stop learning new things about you.
  • 9/4/2013 - Even being sick is more bearable when I'm with you.
  • 9/5/2013 - When you smile so big that your eyes crinkle up, I have to ask myself how I got so lucky. Your smile could light up my darkest day.
  • 9/6/2013 - Last night we had a fight because of my insecurities and fears, and you blamed it on yourself. None of it was your fault. I want so badly to believe that you'll stay by my side, but I'm so scared that you'll get bored of me. I don't want you to love me because you feel obligated to. And I don't want you to resent me for my worries and cowardice.
  • 9/7/2013 - And just like that, all my fears drift away. You tell me that you see a long-term love in me, not a temporary fix. Your words are the reassurance that my heart has been craving. Your words bring me back to earth.
  • 9/8/2013 - A year ago today is when our journey started, and so much has happened since then. We've experienced life, death, fears, and excitement. This year has changed both of us, good and bad. What will the next year bring us?
  • 9/9/2013 - When you say, "I love you," I can tell that you mean it. Your eyes confirm what my heart hoped all along.
  • 9/10/2013 - While this might not seem like a big deal, I'm secretly thrilled that you might include me when you go furniture shopping. We could begin building a home together, and that means the world to me.
  • 9/11/2013 - You're trying to give up Cokes, and the caffeine headaches are driving you insane. I'm so proud of you for attempting this!
  • 9/12/2013 - When you introduce me as your girlfriend to your friends, I get butterflies. I almost have to pinch myself to believe it.
  • 9/13/2013 - Sometimes, if I listen closely enough, I can hear the stories that you're not telling me. The slow rise and fall of your chest shows the contentment that you feel.
  • 9/14/2013 - You make me smile more than the catshark chasing a duck on a roomba video does. That's a lot of smiling.
  • 9/15/2013 - Some people might think that we spend too much time together. But honestly, why wouldn't I spend my time with you? You're the person that means the most to me.
  • 9/16/2013 - Even when you do embarrassing things that make me want to cover my face and hide, I can't help but be attracted to you.
  • 9/17/2013 - You offered to fly with me to Austin because you know that I'm scared to do it by myself. That's why I love you.
  • 9/18/2013 - Even though it drives me nuts sometimes, I generally love how mysterious you are. I can never predict exactly what you're going to do, and that's exciting.
  • 9/19/2013 - I have a lot of weaknesses, and a lot of things that I'm not proud of. I'm thankful that you understand me, and don't hold grudges.
  • 9/20/2013 - You make me feel about 3 inches tall when you get angry with me. I wish I could keep it from ever happening.
  • 9/21/2013 - How do I keep my heart from relying too heavily on yours? I'm in so deep, and I keep falling deeper.
  • 9/22/2013 - I'm lower than low today, and all I really want is a hug from you.
  • 9/23/2013 - As of today, we're the only couple left of our friend group. The others are falling like flies. Please don't let us die, too.
  • 9/27/2013 - You remind me to be kind when I need to hear it most. Thank you.
  • 9/29/2013 - As stress levels rise and tensions build this year, you remind me not to take myself (or my friends) too seriously.
  • 9/30/2013 - You've begun to soften your edges, to become more openly caring. The cute animal pictures are just a symptom of the change.
  • 10/1/2013 - I spend so much of my days hoping for the future with you to come sooner. Help me live in the present.
  • 10/2/2013 - I feel strange, because you've become the person that I want to tell when things happen. Good, bad, neutral, you're my confidante.
  • 10/3/2013 - I've started to realize that the different perspectives you bring to the table makes me a better person.
  • 10/4/2013 - Your habit of scaring me has actually made me less scared...so thanks.
  • 10/5/2013 - You have a funny tendency of dispelling my doubts without really trying. I love you for it.
  • 10/6/2013 - I'm thankful that you made the effort to get to know my parents today.
  • 10/7/2013 - Your stresses have become my stresses. Your fears have become my fears. It's amazing how much I rely on you.
  • 10/8/2013 - Sometimes I'm just really frustrated with you for no reason. I'm sorry for that.
  • 10/9/2013 - If we could fast forward through the next year or so, I'd be really thankful.
  • 10/10/2013 - I'm terrified right now, and I just want to talk to you.
  • 10/11/2013 - Your reassurance that you will be there no matter what has calmed me. Although I still fear, I'm glad that you're by my side.
  • 10/12/2013 - I've been taking out my anger on you, and for that I'm sorry.
  • 10/13/2013 - I think we make a good team. With you by my side, I'm so much more confident in my abilities.
  • 10/14/2014 - Naps are much more fun with two people.
  • 10/15/2013 - Today, I can't get our first kiss out of my mind. It was awkward, and short, and uncomfortable, and I was almost relieved when it ended. Now, I melt into you so easily, wishing that one moment wouldn't end. When you kiss me, I'm home.
  • 10/16/2013 - Although I wear my heart on my sleeve, I'm not very good at telling you when and why I'm frustrated or sad. It's something that I need to improve on, because I know you're not a mind reader.
  • 10/17/2013 - I'm leaving tonight to go home for a few days, and all I can think of is how much I'm going to miss you. How did I get this caught up in you?
  • 10/18/2013 - I see you in the trees and the wind. I see you in the water and the leaves. You're all around me.
  • 10/19/2013 - We're both getting so busy this semester. Will we make the time to see each other?
  • 10/20/2013 - Even when you wear camo shorts, I love you and I'm willing to be seen in public with you. That HAS to mean something.
  • 10/21/2013 - We talk about how we'll make it when you're gone. Seeing each other every other weekend sounds great in theory, but will it happen?
  • 10/22/2013 - A lot of the time, I stay over at your house until you're sleep drunk. I love watching you struggle to stay awake and seeing you finally give in to the urge, unconsciously pulling me closer as you dream.
  • 10/23/2013 - It's kind of funny how we work as a couple, when there is no logical reason that we should. We have very few common interests. Despite the odds, we've lasted together.
  • 10/24/2013 - When you talk about why you want to get married, you melt my heart into a big puddle of goo. I'm reassured that you enjoy being around me as much as I do you. I can't wait for you to be my constant companion.
  • 10/25/2013 - You've become a normal part of my day.
  • 10/26/2013 - Your cry of, "Mikayla, PLEASE help me with this purple makeup!" made me laugh more than you'll probably ever know.
  • 10/27/2013 - Sometimes I have moments that I wonder why I love you so much. I get frustrated and confused with where I am. But most of the time, I realize that you are exactly what I want and need. And I am so incredibly grateful that you are who you are.
  • 10/28/2013 - Here's a funny thought that popped into my head: about 3 years go, I still had no idea who you were.
  • 10/29/2013 - As much as I dislike cold weather, I'm a little bit excited that winter is coming around again. It just gives me a valid excuse to snuggle closer to you.
  • 10/30/2013 - I can deny it all I want around you but I LOVE watching you play sports or do manly things. It's just so attractive!
  • 10/31/2013 - I can't think of Halloween without thinking about you. This is the one holiday a year that you shine!
  • 11/1/2013 - I vividly remember the first time I ever saw you. My sister said, "That's Brent. He's a little weird, but he's got a good heart." And that good heart is what has made me love you so much.
  • 11/2/2013 - When I think about the past year, I think about all of the new things I've done. Thank you for making my little box just a tad bit bigger.
  • 11/3/2013 - Three months from now, you'll be gone. How has our time together flown by so quickly?
  • 11/4/2013 - I guess 1 year compared to a lifetime is not that long. But it's still incredibly difficult to think about being apart for that long.
  • 11/5/2013 - I still get butterflies when you reach for my hand in the car.
  • 11/6/2013 - Even though I hate that you'll be in Atlanta, at least I have SOMETHING to get excited about...Steak 'N Shake. :)
  • 11/7/2013 - I got really overwhelmed today with school and life in general. Thank you for listening to me.
  • 11/8/2013 - You drove us to a field to stargaze tonight. It's these little things that make me fall, again and again.
  • 11/9/2013 - I'm so frustrated with my group of friends right now. You say I'm just becoming more mature, but I don't know if I like that.
  • 11/10/2013 - It's always a little dizzying when I realize that you think I'm hot. That's never an adjective that I would use to describe myself, so it's sometimes strange to hear it from you.
  • 11/11/2013 - Hershey died today. I know you hate cats, but thank you for being there anyway.
  • 11/12/2013 - You went out of your way today to get camping gear for me and my friends. I'm so thankful for your willingness to serve.
  • 11/13/2013 - It's funny. I've learned which tone of voice go with which face that you use. Even when I can't see you, I can picture you right beside me.
  • 11/14/2013 - You go apartment shopping tomorrow, and I'm really excited for you. This is a big step in your life!
  • 11/15/2013 - Today, you spent the day in Atlanta figuring out your future plans. In less than 3 months, the rest of your life will begin. It's a crazy concept.
  • 11/16/2013 - Sitting around a fire and talking with you parents, I can imagine our future together.
  • 11/17/2013 - EVERYONE likes getting presents. Anybody who says they don't is probably lying. Don't forget it!
  • 11/18/2013 - Is it weird that I'm excited about the prospect of doing all of the mundane things of life together?
  • 11/19/2013 - "You know that I love you so much. And you know that I will do everything I can to make it all work out, no matter what happens." When I'm worried, I cherish these moments with you.
  • 11/20/2013 - Will you still love me if I become a hormonal mess? If I gain 15 pounds and get acne? What if I lose my hair? Will you still love me?
  • 11/21/2013 - I don't know my future right now, and that really scares me. I know that you're so confident that everything is going to work out, but I'm afraid of all the possibilities.
  • 11/22/2013 - Today was your last big test of college. You're almost finished, and I'm so excited for you!

  • 11/24/2013 - I'm so thankful that your family likes me.
  • 11/28/2013 - Today is Thanksgiving, and I hope this is the last one that we'll have to spend apart. I miss you too much for this.
  • 11/29/2013 - Will you love me if I never change? Will you love me if I stay this same version of me forever?
  • 11/30/2013 - I have a stocking at your house. I've never felt more a part of your family.
  • 12/1/2013 - Seeing you interact with my family makes me excited about our future together.
  • 12/2/2013 - It's a good thing you're not very into Christmas, because both of us together would be a little overwhelming.
  • 12/3/2013 - I will love you at your highest. I will love you at your lowest. I will love you when the stars go dark and the sun stops shining. I will love you.
  • 12/4/2013 - It would be a lot easier to be angry with you if you didn't make so much sense.
  • 12/5/2013 - I sometimes have to remind myself that we are both humans, and are both fallible. You will fail me. I will fail you. We will get through it.
  • 12/6/2013 - Don't let me grow complacent. Don't let me become 80 years old without doing all that I can.
  • 12/7/2013 - Do you ever think about what we'll be like 10 years from now?
  • 12/8/2013 - I see the best of you and the worst of you in your family.
  • 12/9/2013 - It's finally starting to hit me that you'll be gone so soon. I'm not ready to say goodbye.
  • 12/10/2013 - I'm especially thankful today that you decided to grab my hand. It's been a fun journey!
  • 12/11/2013 - Today was absolutely perfect. I can't imagine a better way to spend a cold Tuesday night than to spend it eating soup with you.
  • 12/12/2013 - Having my own personal chiropractor and masseuse in you has its benefits.
  • 2/14/2014 - I get to see you today and my stomach is in knots! I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it!
