It's hard for me to even begin to explain how much I love you. All I can guarantee is that if I had the opportunity to choose my husband over again, I would still choose you every time.
Love,

Dear Copper,
I apologize any time my goal-driven nature gets into the way of our relationship. Once I start a project, I can easily get on a one-track mindset... I promise I'm not neglecting you.

Dear Copper,
Part of a good relationship is knowing when to pick your battles. May we both know when to stand our ground and when to let the other have their way.

Dear Copper,
We stayed at your friend's house last night, so this letter is actually coming about a day late, but it has to do with events that happened yesterday. One of my old college roommates and one of your buddies were all cuddled up on the couch last night on the edge of a "budding romance" (or something like that) when we went upstairs to give them some time/space to get to know one another. It was strange, watching the duo unraveling the mystery of meeting a stranger (and possible romantic interest) for the first time.
I hope you will always be a familiar stranger to me; someone I know and feel comfortable with due to time, although someone who is consistently growing and changing (along with myself) to be a better person. I hope that there is always still that level of mysterious unknown between the two of us even after time has gone by, and that we will still be sitting next to each other learning what makes the other person so unique years into our marriage.
Last night, I was reminded (yet again) of how lucky I am to have found you. The handsome guy in the backwards hat, who fixes things around the house, who holds our family dog like a baby, who does yoga and keeps me calm, who stands next to me and holds my hand at church, who loves me more than anything... loves me in return.
And that in itself is a mystery I will never understand.
Love,
Fox

We probably go to Krieger's way too much, but I guess in a way it's kind of our place for now. The best part of my day was snuggling up to watch Amazing Race with you before bed :)

Dear Copper,
I am just so very blessed to have you in my life. To know that I am yours and you are mine makes me feel so lucky. I definitely picked a good one, someone who will open doors for strangers and who wants to make the world a better place. I could go on and on about how wonderful you are to me... But alas, it's time for bed. So here's to a lifetime of my loving you for all that you are...
Love,
Fox

Dear Copper,
Today I posted a picture of us from the Color Run (the one where I am on your back) with the caption, "A year ago today, I went on my (last) first date with a guy who changed my life. Yes, life can be a little messy and colorful at times, but we'll always have each other's back."
I meant every word I said. One year ago, I would have never thought a simple FroYo date could turn into so much more. And as we sat tonight at dinner talking about moving in together a few months from now and on the same perch outside FroYo as we did 365 days prior, I realized yet again how lucky I was to be with you. Sitting there, I could feel myself falling in love with you all over again, thinking, "wow, this guy is really something special." We both shared how much happier we were this year having known each other compared to the one prior, and I can only imagine the lifetime of happiness you will bring me in the future. I am so blessed you have chosen me to share your forever with and I can't imagine life without you.
Love,
Fox
P.S. "I won't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but you, 'til you come marching home..."

Dear Copper,
No matter what comes our way, I will always love you to the moon and back. You make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world and so special. You treat me with the utmost respect that I deserve and I know you will make a phenomenal father to our children some day. You will love and support our family with all that you have, and for that I will never stop loving you in return.
Love,
Fox

Dear Copper,
After church tonight, both families went out for Chinese food for dinner. Following dinner, we drove around for a while talking before heading back to watch Netflix and chill. During our conversation, I admitted to not feeling quite ready to commit. It's true, I'm not yet prepared to be engaged (and I don't think you are yet either), but at the same time I don't want you to ever doubt my love for you. I can't wait to call myself your fiancée and then your wife, but I want to have complete certainty that we will last forever first.
I have known you were my husband from one of our first few dates and can't imagine my life without you. I have seen you grow both in and out of our relationship over the past year I've known you and I am so blessed that you are the man I will (and even do now) call mine.
Even after hanging out, you suggested I just take your car home and return it in the morning. I put up a small stink of complaints (I apologize for all those in advance) about how it was dark, rainy, and late, but got into your car anyways since I knew it didn't make sense for you to drive. I was about to head off, and you came walking out and up to the driver's window and told me to get out of the car since you were driving me home. It's small moments like that, despite all stubbornness involved, that remind me I've picked a good one to last me a lifetime and that tell me that even through all qualms that come our way, we will still love each other.
Because I do, I love you.
Love,
Fox

Dear Copper,
Today we traded text messages back and forth (while at work) as to reasons we should buy a house in the next few months versus sharing an apartment for the next year and a half before making such a big purchase. I know you have the ring and are prepared to spend forever with me, and I'm sorry I'm too nervous right now to commit to a house at 100%. Obviously things could change in the next few weeks (or days), and looking back on this letter will probably make both of us laugh... What were we so nervous about anyways? I'll probably read this and think, "I wish we would've gotten the house." So maybe that's what we should do...
Most people take a year of dating to realize that they want to spend the rest of their lives with someone. We both knew before we could count our number of dates on one hand. We're pretty lucky like that.
"It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside... I'm not one of those who can easily hide... I don't have much money, but boy if I did... I'd buy a big house where we both could live..."
Love,
Fox

Dear Copper,
You're out downtown drinking tonight while I stayed at home planning out my classes and a future budget. It seems like we should be opposites based on that sentence, but maybe that makes us a good match.

Dear Copper,
People often feel depressed following "happy" events in their life, or big events like a wedding, buying a new car, moving/starting a new job, or having a baby. At some point in our relationship, you or I may feel this way. Know that no matter what comes our way, I will always love you. Even in times when I am caught up in negativity or when I have a difficult time expressing my love to you, know that I still value our relationship and am so thankful to have you in my life.
Love,
Fox
