Dear boyfriend,

Where do I begin? There are thousands of things every day I should be thanking you for that I don't. God sent you to me after years of feeling uncertain, depressed and lonesome. During that time, He taught me to be patient. And boy, was it worth it. I wish I could thank you for each and every little thing, but that would be impossible because you are so good to me and for me. But here are the big thank-yous for the little things you do.

Thank you for loving me with no makeup on.

Thank you for loving me when I cry. If you know me, you know I'm an emotional person and most of the time I just can't seem to stop the tears.

Thank you for loving me when I've had a bad day and for doing everything in your power to make that day better.

Thank you for loving my laugh and for loving to make me laugh.

Thank you for always driving because I hate it.

Thank you for nailing Charlie Daniels lyrics inside my head... "Stroker ace was born to race."

Thank you for being selfless and kind.

Thank you for letting me decide which shirt you should wear so we can kind of match.

Thank you for always taking pictures with me.
