So I had a friend show me a blog of one of her friend's. It was all letters to her future husband. I was inspired. So here is my blog. Letters to my future hubby, how I'd like my ring, our future home, and names for those cute little kids we're gonna have.
After making this blog, my cute friend Linds showed me the following letter. It's true for me and I hope it's true for everyone else out there. Enjoy!
Dear You,
Whoever you are, I'm the girl of your dreams. I am real, even as you are real, and I dream about you. I look for you wherever I go...in moments of music and laughing and dancing...at school, at church, or just walking down the street, looking into faces that pass me by, wondering if you are there.
One day you will come out of the world into my sight and I shall know that you are for me,and there shall never be another. To find you will be finding eternal friendship and love...a feeling of togetherness, and we shall never be alone again. I dream of your strength, of your wisdom, of your kindness, of yourcourtesy, good humor, and optimism. I dream of the man you will be. You are choosing todaythe bread I shall eat, the walls that will shelter me, my position and place in life and in eternity. My crown will come to me only through your priesthood. What you are doing in preparation for the future, will determine my future too.
The bodies of our children, which I shall proudly bear, are part of you even as they are part of me too. We must become one, before they can be.
What you are in part you shall become. Be fine, honorable, wise, for me...for them. I will be chaste for you. You be chaste for me. I will be beautiful and clean in body and spirit and accomplishment for you. I will save all that is sacred and best for you. This same thing, Iwant from you.
On that holy day when we shall wed, I shall wear white, truthfully I shall kneel with you at the temple altar in the presence of God, angels and all witnesses. Honestly I shall accept the ringjoyously. I shall kiss your lips purely. I shall bring you untouched, my virginity, that we may discover all the glory together as man and wife, priest and priestess.
Wait for me. it may be years before we find each other, but oh, I want you. I want no other. I believe I knew and loved you in the pre-existent life, and that you loved me too. That our lives were promised in priesthood covenant to each other. All night when I kneel to pray, I pray to find you. I pray with all my young love's beauty, hope, desire, and faith. May you be blessed, may you be guided and protected until we safely find each other.
This earth is wide. The roads wind every which way upon its surface. But God will bring us face to face sometimes, somewhere...Let us live for this blessing. Dear you. Whoever you are, wherever you are, I'm the girl...and I do love you...I am waiting patiently for you! Please wait...and prepare yourself for me too.
xo me.

I was looking on this blog (same one as the letter from above is from) and I found this adorable letter:
Dear you,
I saw you today.
I decided to spend some time with myself, so I went to a little park I've never been to before.
It wasn't a glorious place, just a few trees...but it was quaint. Just how I like it.
There was an older couple there. There were eating sandwiches. That's all. Just enjoying their sandwiches and each other's company.
The woman took a bite, and part of her lunch fell to the ground. Here husband, with his delicate hand, reached across to wipe the crumbs from her cheek and offered her a bite of his. They laughed in unison like they had been doing it for lifetimes.
And that's when I saw you.
Real love.
I couldn't stop smiling as I kept thinking about them. They probably didn't even realize I saw them. But they showed me how simple you are. And how easy you could be, Love.
And how all I want is to grow old with someone, so we can eat sandwiches in a park someday.
Is that too much to ask?
xoxo
me
Just another thing I hope and love and long for.
