When I first heard that you were going to be joining the graveyard shift with Josh and me, I was surprised at the fact that I wasn’t irritated having to train somebody, but excited to have an excuse to be around you. I started to feel happy talking to you and before the end of the night we were in the laundry room talking about our lives. I don’t know how but you walked into my bubble and you didn’t make me feel anxious or uncomfortable. By the end of the conversation, I couldn’t stop thinking about you.
When I talked to you I felt this spark that I had never felt with anybody. I started to talk to you more. I wanted to spend time with you. The usual slow build up of openness in a relationship happened in just over a couple days with us and the way you laughed made me feel wanted. When you kissed me after we walked Ensign Peak everything came together. I still think about that kiss and the way you fell over trying to reach me from the top of the slope. I think about the way that I smiled the whole way home wishing I could turn around and get one more kiss. Within a few weeks I was in love with a million things about you.
I will always cherish the things that we have been through together. The moment we started dating; The first time we snuggled up together; The first time we showered together; The time you bought an Xbox that you didn’t use; The time when I wore leggings to bed with you; The times where I would come to your house when I got off work; The drama we had with the roommate situation; The first house we rented together; The first bed we bought; The stupid things we used to fight about; The rough times that we’ve moved past; The struggle to make a living; The bars we’ve been to; The mountain I proposed to you on; Our first pregnancy together; The late nights watching Netflix; The drive through the Oregon Woods; The first time we walked the streets of Cannon Beach; The cars we’ve been through; The lessons we’ve learned as parents; The way that we’ve learned to understand each other; The way that we’ve learned to work through our problems; All the times that I’ve been late to work because I couldn’t stop cuddling you; The constant dishes and laundry. I could go on and on forever, and these things are so important to the people we have become and the people we will eventually come to be. Life is hard, but with you anything feels possible.
I love the way that you smile. I love the way that your voice sounds when I hear it. I love the way that you work with me to build our future. I love the way that you love me. I love the way that you don’t let me get away with being a piece of shit. I love the way that you keep me going. I love the way that you sit in the sink when you’re getting ready for work. I love the way that we can text all day at work and then lay in bed and have a conversation for 3 hours. I love the way that we work together to figure out how to best raise the kids. I love the way you want to build a family with me. I love how you spoil me and make me feel important to you. I love the way I feel with you. I just love every single thing about you.
If you ever need anything I will be there. If you need to cry, I will have a shoulder for you. If you need to talk about life, I will have an ear for you. If you need a massage to take your mind off the day, I’m there. I can’t express how truly fortunate I am to have found you, but I will always be there for you. Every single day, I love you more every day and I can’t wait to grow old with you Rowan. You are every thing to me and I won’t ever let you forget how much I love you.
