IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS!! 

We've been together for half of a year! This week marks a possible turning point for both of us. I started at Chesterbrook academy as a Preschool Teacher yesterday and you had an interview for a job with Bentley homes. I feel like both of these have the potential to be really amazing experiences for both of us. This is the happiest I have ever been in my entire life and I can't wait for another awesome six months!

I love you!! 

The current voice for "Oh I love you, lovey" ...I'm sure there will be many more!

I thought it felt like a good time to reminisce about when we met. I hope both of us always remember how awesome it was, but just in case we need a reminder...here it is...

On March 12th, I received an e-mail on match.com that said:

"Hi LA, I'm so glad you like fashion and super high heels because I wear mine like all the time. Lol jk. I just have a pair of asics I run in. :) So do you plan on staying in PA for long or do you have plans to ever go back home? Jeff"

After a handful of emails over the next few days, we decided to meet in person. On March 15th, we met at Champps Sports Grill in King Of Prussia. 


I remember driving up and imagining 100 different possibilities for this night. Would you really look like your pictures, would you be obnoxiously funny (remember those silly pictures you had on your profile?!?), would I like you, would you like me, would it be awkward... and then as I pulled into the parking lot, I saw this guy walking towards the front door and pulling out his phone. At that moment, my phone rang. You were telling me you had just gotten there. I creeped by you in my car and somehow had the feeling that this was going to be a really amazing night. 

That night, I laughed more than I thought possible on a first date, felt comfortable instantly, and we never had even a moment of awkward silence. Remember when I got up to go to the bathroom and the guys next to us at the bar asked if we were on our first date because we seemed to happy for it to be anything else? 

And that was the beginning of our fairy tale...

This month was not only our 5-month anniversary, but also your 32nd BIRTHDAY!!!! You weren't that excited, so we just spent the night playing mini-golfing and started watching a movie, but you feel asleep about 20 minutes in (it was only 11 pm) because you had to wake up at 5 a.m. every day for contracting. Hopefully by the time you read this, that will be a thing of the past because it definitely isn't your favorite!

This Summer we haven't seen each other too often because of our jobs and I have realized that, although we are only 5 months in, I find myself wishing that we lived together already. I can't wait to be able to come home to you every day and fall asleep next to you every night. Even small things like doing our laundry together and making dinner is exciting to think about because I always have such an amazing time with you. You make me happy every second that we're together.   

Love you, my studly 32 year old!  

I may be a day late, but it has officially been four months! A few weeks ago, I got an oil change, they forgot to put the oil cap back on, and I was worried I would have to wait to order a new one. Without hesitation, you offered up your car for however long I needed it and didn't seem irritated or put out by it at all. That was the moment (well...one of them) that I realized that I could not wait to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the most giving, thoughtful man I have ever met. I am truly blessed.

I love you.

Three months...

It has officially been three months since I met you.

These have been the happiest, most amazing months of my life. I have never felt more loved, never laughed this much, and miss you every second we're not together. Here's a quick run-down of our lives so far...

• Date 3: My car broke down on the side of the freeway and you drove out and saved me, risking your life by making not one, but two, 3-point turns on the freeway. For the next month (maybe a little longer), you constantly referred to yourself as a hero.
• Our songs : Feel So Close To You by Calvin Harris and I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
• We have been to the Philadelphia Zoo, watched tons of movies, you moved into your house, I introduced you to PF Changs, and you had a "bone popping out of your wrist"  [see above picture] 

And every now and then, just to remind me how lucky I am, you send me things like these :

I can't wait to spend the rest of my life falling in love with you!
