Dear Matthew,

I’m watching you as you sleep right next to me, but it’s not in a creepy way - I swear. I’m trying as hard as I possibly can to stay motionless and quiet so as not to wake you from the deep slumber you are in, because then you will realize how late it is and go home..:/ I can tell it’s a deep sleep, though, because of how loud your snoring is :) You are so stinkin’ cute because you have your shirt pulled up a little and your hand on your stomach because you’re hot from my sauna-of-a-room, and you’re laying on your pillow that you always leave at my house. You are seriously the most attractive thing I have ever set my eyes on. I cherish every single second spent with you because you’re more than just my fiancé; you’re my best friend in the whole entire world. I love you with my entire heart and I can’t wait until we are finally married and we can have a bed of our own that we can sleep in every night and wake up every morning next to each other. And I will always smile knowing I have you next to me, and maybe even be able to sleep better and without a light on like I do most nights, because I will feel so comforted by you.

I just love the small things in our relationship that we share. Like when you come to sit at Yoguri with me while I’m working (even though I know you hate that place), just because you want to see me after a long day. I love coming to my house with you and greeting Milo with a crazy amount of love and petting and listening to him grunt and make cute noises as we rub him all over. I love the AMAZING love that is shared between both of your families. I love when you ask me for kisses over and over and over even though I only give you one or two because my lips always hurt from being chapped. I love our car rides and when a song comes on the radio and you sing the whole song in the funniest voice just to make me laugh. I like that we love to eat the same type of food (and lots of it)… Like bo berry biscuits from Bojangles and Chipotle and shrimp tacos at Mexican restaurants and candy and stuff like that. I love my Goodmorning texts and when you randomly text me that you love me during the day. I love talking about our future being married and I love how we think the SAME EXACT THINGS ALWAYS. I love how we have the same humor and same everything. We’re twins for crying out loud. I also love that it’s 1am and I’m being sneaky and you haven’t woken up :)

I just love every gosh darn thing about you, Matt. I wouldn’t change a thing about you and I thank God every day for blessing me with you. There’s nothing I want more than to be beside you day after day. You’re my better half, and you’re the gift from God that he placed so perfectly into my life even though I am the most undeserving girl on the planet. How I got so lucky to have you? I’m still trying to figure that out. In the meantime, though, I’m just trying to love you the best I can. And I hope it’s enough, because you are more than enough for me. You’re perfect. I love you.
