Love Letter

I have decided to re-arrange a couple of the bedrooms upstairs, and work on a few projects that would make those rooms look a little more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. As I was going through a few items last night, I came across a letter I wrote to my husband, made with those chalky Valentine Conversation Hearts. I specifically remember working on that when we were first married, about three years ago. But, three years really does travel fast, as I couldn’t believe it had already been that long ago. I read it last night, and again, to my husband so he would remember what it said. I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of gluing conversation candy hearts to a bright colored piece of hot pink cardstock, and then forming just the right words to say around those little hearts, but somehow it worked. I don’t like the idea of keeping something around like that, but my husband proceeded to tell me that I shouldn’t throw it away and it should be kept in a keepsake book. I agreed. So, with that said, I thought I would share what I wrote to him with all of you. As a guide, I have put the words indicated on each of the hearts glued to the paper in the pink color, so you can decipher between the hearts’ words and my words.

Dear Lee,
A long time ago, you told me I was a nice girl. You would call me and I would get so excited! Our first kiss was great, and soon it became my dream to become your girlfriend. I love that you say you love me and call me cutie pie. Only you can hug me the way you do. Only you can make me smile the way you do. You are my lover boy, my baby, and the one I love. There is so much magic in our relationship. IM me, because of you. It’s too bad that I have to miss you and you miss me when we’re gone, but it’s a sure love when it comes to you and me. We’re cool and walking in style! You came to ask me “Will you marry me? I said “I do”, because you are my angel and my love. I hope you know ura star in my life. Be true to yourself, and do it for you!
And that’s amore!

Be mine for Valentine’s Day!

I love you, Ashley Holladay
