January 31st

Dear Copper,

Your flight from Colorado to St. Louis was cancelled due to snow... So now you're taking Amtrak to get home. It's reassuring to know that if I were with you, I would be freaking out while you were all excited about having an "adventure." 

Love,

Fox

January 30th

Dear Copper,

All I want right now are cuddles... And you're all the way in Colorado. Wish I was there with you, all snuggled under the covers by the mountains...

Love,

Fox

January 29th

Dear Copper,

One of my patients today gave me the marriage advice of never going to bed angry and always holding hands... Can't wait to grow old with you.

Love,

Fox

January 28th

Dear Copper,

Only 100 days until our wedding!

Love,

Fox

January 27th

Dear Copper,

Tonight was one of those nights where I hugged you and just didn't want to let go.

Love,

Fox

January 26th

Dear Copper,

Love you to the moon and back.

Love,

Fox

January 25th

Dear Copper,

We were laying on the couch today, me studying and you taking a nap with your head in my lap. It was the best part of my day, looking down and seeing you so peaceful and all snuggled up next to me.

Love,

Fox

January 24th

Dear Copper,

You're handsome, even when disheveled after working a 12-hour shift and barely having slept.

Love,

Fox

January 23rd

Dear Copper,

I spent about 4 hours working on your "project" tonight... And then the Internet lost all of my hard work.

Luckily I have you to help me feel better when I am frustrated.

Love,

Fox

January 22nd

Dear Copper,

The last Strawberry house bit the dust today... It's pending/off the market, so we are back to square one of our house search. Buh. All I want to do is live with you already!

Love,

Fox

January 21st

Dear Copper,

I love everything about you... Even the face and sounds you make when eating something you really enjoy.

Also, tonight we were sitting by the fire at my parents' house studying (we have dropped our most recent home contract) when I looked over at you reading your book. I said I felt old and pictured the two of us reading together with gray hair and it made me smile.

Love,

Fox

January 20th

Dear Copper,

I would have been quite lonely without you, so much to the point where I could have been a crazy cat lady with 18 cats. And I'm allergic to cats.

That's how much I need you in my life.

Love,

Fox

January 19th

Dear Copper,

"Eye luv ewe."

Because I apparently couldn't think of anything else more clever for tonight's note... My brain is fried from studying.

Love,

Fox

January 18th

Dear Copper,

I started my new semester today and I'm already feeling stressed. But thinking of you and time with you makes me feel so much better, so that's what I'm imagining before bed tonight... Being wrapped up in your arms and watching an episode on Netflix, just taking it easy. Even just the thought of it helps me feel more relaxed.

Love,

Fox

January 17th

Dear Copper,

You're the perfect combination of nerdy and cool.

Love,

Fox

January 16th

Dear Copper,

Giving you a back scratch right now... ;)

Love,

Fox

January 15th

Dear Copper,

As my patient today reminded me, the key to a happy marriage can be found in two words: "Yes, dear."

Love,
Fox

January 14th

Dear Copper,

You're good to have around in emergency situations.

Love,

Fox

January 13th

Dear Copper,

We met up for dinner tonight before you went to work and I head home from work... Gotta enjoy those moments while we can, soon  I'll just come home to see you! ;)

Love,

Fox

January 12th

Dear Copper,

We still have a lot of learning to do about one another... And while it may seem bad or frustrating at times, it's actually a good thing. Can't wait to keep getting to know you!

Love,

Fox

January 11th

Dear Copper,

We had our home inspection today (that seemed to go fairly well) before we met with our loan officer to sign all the financial papers needed for our big purchase. Finally, we topped off our day with a FroYo date followed by a few episodes of Psych... Such a good day together! :)

Love,

Fox

January 10th

Dear Copper,

I specifically looked at pictures of you before bed tonight because I wish I was with you right now. You are just so handsome!

Love,
Fox

January 9th

Dear Copper,

I'm currently working on your wedding gift right now and as such am reading back through these letters (for the first time ever). It's actually been an interesting experience... I must really love you or something, I say that like over and over and over again in all these letters!

Love,
Fox

January 8th

Dear Copper,

We drove by "our" house tonight (to see if the water was on for our inspection Monday)... That's right, we are officially listed on the Maris matrix as being "under contract!" Contingent with no kick out! We are a pending sale! 

Can you tell I'm excited? This is really happening!

Love,

Fox

January 7th

Dear Copper,

It's not that I don't trust your judgment or ability to get things done... It's just that I'm a perfectionist and will double and triple check even my own work. 

Love,

Fox

January 6th

Dear Copper,

I keep waiting and waiting to see when our house will change from "Active" to "Pending." The anticipation is killing me. I just want to start moving my stuff in and making it ours ASAP!

Love,
Fox

January 5th

Dear Copper,

Signed and accepted our counteroffer today, which means we are officially HOMEOWNERS!

Love,

Fox

January 4th

Dear Copper,

Big things today... We signed our offer on house #4, the 5-bedroom/2.5 bath on Braebridge... so much space! I also tried on my own wedding dress for the first time today before our food tasting at the venue (the chicken was awesome). And as if that all weren't enough, KU won 109-106 in 3OT tonight (you agreed to cheer for them during basketball season, especially after tonight)!

Lots of good things! Lucky to share them all with you :)

Love,

Fox

January 3rd

Dear Copper,

I really appreciated you helping me to mail my old textbook today and for setting it all up through Amazon in the first place. It may not have seemed all that difficult to you, but really helped me feel less stressed :)

Love,

Fox

January 2nd

Dear Copper,

Today I put together our wedding website, complete with the story of how we met and with the pennies/foxes. It was fun reliving and reaffirming why I know I love you so much :)

Love,

Fox

January 1st

Dear Copper,

We get married this year!

Love,
Fox
