Dear Future Husband,
I wasn’t sure how I was going to approach this topic of you or us. I started writing about my first love, which of course, is you. Then I got to thinking it’s much easier to write you a letter. Not just any other love letter we write to each other, but a very special love letter that I hope you show our children one day.
As soon as I met you, I knew you were something truly special. You were charming, kind, and charismatic, and I couldn’t help but be drawn to you. But, never in a million years would I have guessed that now, after all this time, you would mean so much to me. The funny thing is, I wasn’t looking for you, I just found you.
Out of funny circumstance and total coincidence, we felt as we knew each other forever and after awhile, we got to know each other’s personalities, fears, hopes, and dreams. Then, we blossomed into something beautiful, something that I never saw coming. But as blind as I was, I’m extremely glad that you stumbled into my weird little life and that you became such a big part of it. There are so many wonderful things to thank you for that I don’t even know where to begin. Words will never do it justice, but a girl can try, right?
Thank you for knowing how to handle me- or at least for pretending like you know how to, and doing an excellent job of it. I know I’m not always the easiest person to deal with, but you settle me down and make me smile in a way that no one else can.
Thank you for always holding my hand (literally, and figuratively) – Not only do you keep my fingers warm now that it’s cold out (thank God) but you’re also not afraid to show me off to friends, family, and even strangers. Plus, being your arm candy is an awesome feeling.
Thank you for always supporting me – You’re the best cheerleader/number one fan that I could ever ask for, and nothing is more reassuring than knowing that you’re right there to root for me in everything that I do.
Thank you for all of the compliments- because some days I feel like a potato, but you always reassure me that I’m beautiful just the way I am (although you may be lying sometimes.) Stealing all of your favorite hoodies and sweatpants might make me look like an Eskimo, but you still make me feel like a million bucks.
Thank you for being silly- Some of my fondest memories with you involve weird faces, strange conversations, and pure craziness. We’ve even developed our own language of phrases and pet names. Yes, we may be weirdos, but I love that you never take things too seriously and you always know how to make me laugh.
Thank you for all of the adventures-At this point, we have made more incredible memories than I can even count. You never fail to be spontaneous, go to new places and try new things, and tag along for all of my ideas as well. Nothing feels better than exploring the world with you by my side.
Thank you for being exactly who you are- Your passion for helping others, being kind, and making everyone around you smile is something that I will always be amazed by. You inspire me every single day, and I feel absolutely blessed to be a part of your life. You make me want to be a better version of myself, and you always encourage me to strive for the best.
Thank you for being my best friend – At the end of the day, “doing life” with someone that you love and trust is a wonderful feeling, and I know that through thick and thin, I can count on you. I can truly say that before anything else, you are my best friend, and I think that our strong foundation is what I cherish the most.
It’s easy to call you my boyfriend (at least that’s what Facebook says you are). But, above all, I think you’re much more than that. You’re my partner in crime, my dinner date, my pillow, my cheerleader, my confidants, and most importantly, my best friend. Although I couldn’t see you coming, I am eternally grateful that you’re in my life today. Wherever the road takes us, I’m glad that I get to walk down that road with you, creating so many beautiful memories along the way.
When I say I love you more, I don’t mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us. I love you more than any fight we will ever have. I love you more than the distance between us. I love you more than any obstacle that could ever try and come between us. I love you the most.
Thank you Cody, For everything and thank you for loving me even on my worst days. I love you.
Love always and forever,
Hannah
