day 24 :: my love

today is this guy's birthday.

i'm so thankful God gave him to me for this lifetime.

one of the biggest things we've done together to cast out fear is to say yes to our relationship and move me to new york. our very long story short, we had known each other for several years and finally started to date long distance. we knew that if we were really going to commit to a relationship100%, we would have to live near each other. and so i drew the short straw it seemed best that i would be the one to move. (:

it hasn't been perfect. [oh how we thought we knew each other!]

but it's been so worth it.

john,
you are strong where i am weak. i know God knew what He was doing putting us together because you give amazing massages and i love to receive them. (: you make me laugh every day. you are the silliest person i know and i love you for it. i'm so proud of your pursuit of school and of becoming a teacher. you challenge me to be a better version of myself. you give so much love to your family, friends and to people you don't even know. i love you for all these reasons and so many more.

happy birthday, love.
