Dear Jake,
I know this post will embarrass you terribly, so forgive me, but I just can't keep my big mouth shut.
I love you. I love you so much. And, I just want the world to know. Not specifically about you and I, but just to know that this kind of love is possible... that it's out there... and that it can be theirs as well.
On Sunday, we spent Valentine's Day together, and it was perfect... we didn't have any fancy plans, but just devoted ourselves to spending the day together. We exchanged red-enveloped cards in the morning, held hands as we wandered around downtown, talked about our hopes and dreams, and treated ourselves to a fabulous meal. It was simple, and it was so perfect.
Since we've been married, I feel like I have changed so much, and all for the better. You teach me to be myself, to trust myself, and you encourage me every step of the way, without hesitation, no matter what project or crazy idea I have. Without you, I would probably still be shuffling papers in a cubicle, feeling "safe" with my 9-5 job, working out like a hamster, and drying my hair straight.
These days, I find myself trying new things, pushing my own boundaries, wearing my natural curls, and listening to my heart. I can only hope that I'm doing the same for you. I am so excited for our future, and to one day find out where this journey, our journey, will take us. I appreciate you so much, and I owe so much of our success to you.
So here I am, with my heart on my sleeve, so that the world can know that this kind of love is possible. The kind of love that makes curls go wild, and makes me feel so loved and so comfortable in my own shoes.
Forever Yours,
Joey
So sweet Joey! I love to see that kind of love and passion between married couples. It's so refreshing.
