A Letter To Me

12/4/2012

Dear Hannah. You are marrying Nathan Wayne Hartshorn in a mere 25 days. Do you know how fast that is going to fly?! Then you will get to sleep in the same bed as him and kiss him all you want. Then you will get to go to the grocery store together and bake cookies together and go on walks and even wash your clothes in the same washer. You must promise yourself today that down the road when all the kids are screaming and crying and there are bills to pay and he's going bald and you've got wrinkles on your face, you must remember to smile and kiss him on the cheek and tell him how dear he is to you. Never lose sight of the tall, handsome, blue eyed boy you fell in love with. Never forget the time he bought you chocolates and one of those spill proof plastic cups you love. Never forget the time he cried when you were dancing at that park in AF because he felt so lucky and happy to have you. Never forget the times when you shed your own tears of love and joy for him, because that man loves you. And you love him. And he may not be perfect and you certainly aren't either. But his heart is full of love and he works hard and is kind and willing to try his best. Make love often. Kiss him on the lips when gets home from work and scratch his head because you like the way he looks like a puppy dog when you do. Leave him notes and words of encouragement. Clean his car. Pray for him. He loves you dang it! And you love him. Don't ever forget that. You two are forever. Forgive and forget. Don't sweat the little things. You both deserve to be happy and madly in love the rest of the eternities so don't stop working at it.

Sincerely,

Yourself
