letters of young love.

get your tissues ladies. it's about to get real mushy up in here!

i'm the kind of girl that LOVES love. the idea of love, just being in love. all the romantic gestures you can think of, without them being too, too cheesy, i'm all for it.
including little love notes.

when my husband and i dated, i wrote so many of them. and folded them into creative little envelopes. you remember them, yes? and can't forget dotting the i's with little hearts. there was no other way to dot the i's when you're in love.

well, after eleven years of marriage, we still have these in a box. and from time to time, i'll take them down read through them, and laugh and cry. i told you it was going to get mushy didn't i?
and then i'll run to my husband and read him an excerpt from a letter, and he'll just chuckle.
that chuckle that says: ah, yes i remember that one.


through reading these letters and reminiscing, not only do i take a quick stroll through memory lane, but it reminds me how our love has somewhat remained the same.
sure, our marriage has had more bumps that a bumper car ride, and has been at the brink of calling it quits, but as we still stand here together knowing that we have each other's hearts, we can make that choice to keep moving forward and stand together on what may come.
and while we stand together, it's not a bad idea to write a letter every now and then. leave it on his nightstand, or under his keyboard at work letting him know he still makes my heart still pitter patter.
be classy and seal it with a kiss, and not forgetting to heart my i's.
okay so maybe just regular i's will do. but never forget how important it is to continue letting your spouse know how important and loved they are even in those moments where they may be the last person you want to see. things can't always be perfect, but even in that little storm, love can always find a way.

how do you let your other half know they are still your one and only?
