happy valentines day, love kevin

well, as i shared, kevin is posting for the first time today. 

he asked me what he should write, and I said, "whatever you want". 

i don't think i was very helpful. 

my sweet kevin does not like to write,
but because he loves me he sat down on the couch and put the petal to the metal. 

poor guy, it was painful.

especially since he knew a ton of people would be reading it.

i think he felt like he had to make it like a college paper, with a thesis and points to back it up.

i kept stealing glances at him.
he looked at me like i was ready to start pulling teeth out of his mouth. 

finally, he stared me down and said "babe, can i just write you a letter?"

of course. 

even better. more personal. 

i adore love letters. 

so without further ado, my handsome husband's letter,

lover,

You are the most amazing and beautiful person I know, and I am so thankful for each day I am with you. You have been a constant source of encouragement, joy, affirmation, and the deepest sense of friendship. I love living life with my best friend, as you amaze and excite me daily. Married life has been incredible with you, and I know I don't deserve someone as amazing as you. Thank you for all the small ways you choose to serve me.  I constantly feel loved by you. The ways in which you look to love and bless others is something that is so attractive to me. Watching you love on the kids in the neighborhood amazes me. You have taught  me so much about just loving people and the way Christ loves them deeply. I am so thankful I get to spend the rest of my life adventuring with you.  

I am and will forever be yours. 

i love you,

kevin 

i feel incredibly blessed.
thank you sweet father for my husband,

love Katie
