Hi Lex!“Cause I don’t know how it gets better than this,
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless.”

Lex,
Today is Memorial Day and I feel like it gives my job at Lockheed a sense of purpose. It’s unbelievable to me that while you and I are watching a movie, or cooking dinner, there are kids our age who are over in the Middle East fighting for our freedom. It makes me appreciate our time together so much more…and it also puts things into perspective. No matter what we go through in our lives, anything negative is really minimal in the grand scheme of things.
We’re so lucky to have each other and to always live our lives together. Think about it…how many people met their ONE (of ten thousand, haha) as early as we did? We literally get to spend our whole lives together, starting from age 14. That makes me happy. I will never have to search or “find myself,” or figure my life out, because I already have you! You are my life, and you always will be.
Love you baby :)

Lexi,
When I think about my time with you this past year, I can’t even begin to describe the overwhelming feeling of completeness I get from just being with you. I have been dying to get an internship with Lockheed since I can remember, and I am very much looking forward to it. But, I have only been here a few days and I know that while this might be a great jumpstart to my career, the only reason I am doing any of this is to provide for a life for you and me. I am alone here, and you are alone in Gainesville. I hate staring at that empty chair across from me at dinner, watching everyone else interact with their friends and family. You are my best friend, and you are my family.
I can’t wait to see you in a few weeks and hold you in my arms. You are my everything and my motivation for doing everything that I do. No matter how far apart we are, and no matter how annoying it is to talk on the phone, I want you to know that I have never felt closer to anyone in my entire life than I am to you right now.
"I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
I love you baby, and I know you’ll do great on your exam tomorrow!
