Practicing Love

I always am striving to love you.

What I mean by "striving to love you" is that I want to show you how much I love you, I want you to feel how much I love you, I want you to feel my love pulling at you.  You are so beautiful and astounding that you deserve to be wanted.  I want you.

My love for you isn't something that I can fall in or out of - love is what I do.

From moment to moment, I hope to do love, to show you that I love you.  Of course, there are many moments where I'm not doing a good job at this, but I'm practicing at getting better.

Lucky

Today you wrote me a message:

I am so lucky to have you as my future husband. You are a beautiful strong man of God and I want to thank you for being the leader of our family! Thank you for being willing to make sacrifices for our family and loving me unconditionally. There is no one else in the world as great as you and I hope I can show you every day for the rest of our lives how wonderful you are.
 
Thank you for being the man you are!
 
I Love you

Even though I'm writing these love letters to you on this blog, I wanted to copy what you wrote me today.  I love that you are so encouraging towards me. Most of all, it makes me happy that you respect me.  I get so filled knowing that you respect me.  I appreciate that so much.  You are so wonderful and amazing.  My love for you is unlike anything I've ever felt towards another person. You inspire and awe me.

You make me a better person. 

I couldn't ask for anything else.  I love you and want to serve you for the rest of my life.

Special

This weekend we went to Bob and Mary's.

While I had my face full of chicken, your grandpa looked at me and said that you could have any guy that you want, so I better treat you right.  I looked him in the eye and told him that I do and will, and I know I am such a lucky guy.  Very lucky.  It's  not just a saying. Your grandpa and I both believe it.

When we left, aunt Grace also let me know that I had a very special girl.

Do you realize how special you are?  I love you and thank God and your family for supporting you and raising you the way they did.  I am blessed to have met you and blessed that I get to spend my life with you.  I love you!

Cookies

I love you because you are so selfless and think of others.

You have been asking about my grandpa Quandahl and his procedures lately, and tonight asked what you could bring him when we see him.  You knew he has diabetes so we can't bring regular cookies...

I love how you love to serve others and put a smile on their face.  You are truly amazing.
