Dear Amazing -
A few days ago we spent the day together. We went into a department store to look at couches and bed frames. We lost ourselves in the moment. In one particular area of the store a song was playing on the TV. You begin to sing the song to me. I held you tight and began to you softly. I knew that we were close to a couch so for fun I positioned you right in front of the arm and in the middle of one of our kisses I pushed you back and together we fell onto the couch. We were both laughing and it was a moment of pure joy!
I love you because you help me to lose myself in your world even in the midst of a department store....

A Surprise Drink of Water
Dear Baby -
This past weekend we took the kids (Carlie and Kale) to Catoctin State Park north of Frederick. We wanted to spend the afternoon looking at leaves and walking the paths of the park. We also took Sheba, our 11 year old Dalamation with us. As we were driving to the park we stopped at a gas station. You said that you were going to go in and get drinks for us all. When we got to the park you gave us each our drinks. Then you got out a paper bowl and some bottled water which you had gotten for Sheba.
I love you because you care for even the least of us.
P.S. We had a great day at the park. We played all kinds of games as we collected leaves. Then we threw down a blanket next to a creek and we saw who had collected the biggest leaf, the smallest leaf, the most colorful leaf, the most unique leaf and the most perfect leaf. I didn't win any of the contest but I did win in life because I have the most perfect person to share my life with....you :)

Little Dishes of Candy
Dear Shonda -
You and I are both confirmed chocalotahoics. We love to share choclate. Recently we decided to sell our houses and buy the house that we would have when we got married. This week we were putting the finishing touches on my house to have it show ready. As I was doing work in the backyard, you decided to run to the store. You went to pick up some air freshers to give my house the clean, new smell. When I came in from the backyard I noticed that you had purchased something else - you had gotten chocoltes. You bought them to put out for people that would come by and look at the house. However, before we left we had eaten most of the cholates...
I love you because of the special little touches that you add to my life.....

Malls, Gifts, and a bug called Destiny
Dear Amazing -
This past Friday during lunch - You and I decided to play a lunch game. We decided to go to the mall and spend 20 minutes trying to find a gift for each other to communicate our committment of faithfulness and our love for each other. We arrived at the mall and started our game at 12:30 pm. Only once in the 20 minutes did we run into each other although we found out later that we did both go to another store as well.
After 20 minutes - actually 25-30 mintues for you, we arrived at the food court and exchanged our gifts. I went first and gave you a wax seal set. The seal had the letter "A" on it which symbolized the names that we have given to each other (you - Amazing and me - Ace which stands for always completely exceptional). The "A" also stood for "I would always be faithful to you".
Next you gave me a card and then a box to hang on the wall with the chinise symbol for Destiny. Under the symbol it read - "Walk the path of your destiny with purpose and an open heart." You said that you gave this to me because you knew that it was our destiny to always be together.
This was a great lunch date - but it did not end there.
On the way back to the car you stopped in the middle of the parking lot to get a little bug off of my back. You saw the bug and said "This bug is beautiful." the bug then attached itself to your hand. You began to talk to the bug in the softest voice. Together you and the bug walked toward the car. Finally, beginning to play along I said, "what is the bug's name". You without missing a beat said, "destiny." And with that the bug few away. You seemed so content and so happy from the visit from the bug. You almost seemed as if the bug was a confirmation of our love.
For the next few minutes we shared some of the softest kisses....
I thought that I would relaize my love for you in this experience because of the gift that you gave to me, but in reality I realized it in your interaction with the bug.
I love you because you lose yourself in the innocence of a moment.....

Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Dear Sweetheart -
Last night you and I had a "date night". These are semi-dates where we stay home and try to spend a few hours together. We alternate who decides what we do. Last night was your night. I had mentioned a few weeks ago that I have really missed the chocolate chip pancakes that you make for breakfast from time to time. So last night for dinner you made me chocolate chip pancakes....They were wonderful.
I love you because you go to great lengths to give me what I desire.

Who Is Shonda
Shonda is my girlfriend and soon to be my wife. I have created this blog so that she knows that I am constantly thinking about her. There are so many reasons that I love her and I want to journal so reasons as they happen. This will be a Christmas Gift or Wedding gift to her within the next few months and then whenever she doubts my love for her she will be able to turn here and find out the reasons that I love her...
