May 1st

Dear Copper,

First of all, it's officially the month and week of our wedding. I'm not exactly sure where the time even went... it feels like just yesterday that we were sitting at the dinner table at Mike Duffy's talking about whether or not you saw yourself ever moving back to St. Louis.

That aside, I'm currently sitting alone at our house with no sound... you aren't here with the television on, you aren't here to give me a hug, you aren't here to tell me how your day was or talk with me, and it's just... quiet. And this, my dear, is exactly why I need you in my life. Without you, my life would be empty, silent, and longing for social interaction and a deep connection with another person. I know people are close to me and I have friends, but somehow I kind of feel lonely right now in this quiet house alone. Thanks for making sure I never become the sad old lady who lives alone playing the radio all the time for company, and for always making me feel loved. Can't wait to be your wife and have a built-in best friend for life... less than 6 days now!

Love,
Fox
