Dear Luke

You've had to deal with a pretty sappy me the last few days and I'm sorry about this. I don't really know why I've been so emotional lately (well, maybe I know a reason or two, ha!), but I've been a little more teary than the norm and you've been such a champ. I love you for this.

On the flip side, I think you may be one of the reasons I've been so sappy. I hate when we don't see each other for a week at a time, so I've cherished every second of the last 3 days we've spent together. This weekend was our first Easter just the two of us and I loved it. Between the two of us, there are about 2,849 family get-togethers throughout the year and I'm glad that we chose to spend this holiday together, just us. Today marks the 2 month countdown to our wedding and I'm so giddy it's sick. Seriously, I'm sure I'm driving the entire world crazy with our wedding countdown, but  don't care. Because I get to marry you and spend the rest of my life as your wife. Thanks for giving me the honor. I can't wait to see you standing at the end of my walk down the aisle. Get ready for tears. But I mean, come on, do you expect anything less of me? ;)

This song makes me think of you. It makes me think of our long-distance relationship throughout college and even still, the short distance between us throughout the week. Sorry this is such a lame video, but it's all I could find.

Arms around my body, kisses on my skin

I walk away, I walk away, but he lingers.

Maybe it should matter

More to be myself

I walk away, I walk away, but he lingers.

And everyone says
This love will change you

Well I ask, isn't that what love's supposed to do...

Thanks for changing me for the better. Thanks for being my best friend, biggest fan, and teammate. I'm so glad God picked you for me (because we all knew it was going to take a pretty patient man!).

Always in all ways,

Bird
