Memorial Day

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 :)

Mike, 


So today is day three of work for you and day seven of school for me. I'm constantly feeling sorry for myself that I cannot be with you or with my family during the week but then I remember that you even more alone than I am (not to point it out) and you haven't complained once. I have often wondered where you get your strength from...strength that I do not see in myself. I think God probably made you stronger than the average human to make up for my lack of strength...another reason why we are perfect for each other!  


Thinking about visiting you in Atlanta makes me super excited so I have started to make a list of possible things to do while together...


1. Georgia Aquarium http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/
2. World of Coke http://www.worldofcoca-cola.com/
3. Look at engagement rings :) 
4. Zoo Atlanta http://www.zooatlanta.org/
5. Buckhead for shopping! http://www.atlanta.net/buckhead/


I'm currently at home by the way and eating a salad. I came up with this genius idea to put pickles in it. Check it out, its amazing. By the way when we go to restaurants from now on you need to stop asking for your food without the pickles because I want them! :) 

The best thing happened today, I was walking to Rawlings to catch the bus and a 35 pulled up just like it had been waiting for me :) Oh, and I saw this today and it made me smile so you should watch it as well. I love you and I hope that your day has been as amazing as you are. 

I love you!

An empty chair...

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

To make you feel my love"

I love you baby, and I know you’ll do great on your exam tomorrow!
