Dear Future Husband,
I've been recently on a Brene Brown kick, which will make sense when I quote something from her. "We miss what is truly important because we are on the quest for what is extraordinary, not understanding that in the ordinary moments of our lives is where we find the most joy." Today I was just pondering this quote from her and I can't help but get excited to share in the ordinary moments with you someday. I was walking around the Mall of America this afternoon and I couldn't help but wish you were there to hold my hand and for us to share what my mother calls a "frothy drink" aka a frappacino from the myriad of coffee places scattered throughout the mall. We wouldn't necessarily need to do anything "extraordinary" per say but simply just being together, walking into our favorite stores, being silly, and enjoying overpriced drinks with too much caffeine and calories (but who cares about that anyways?). Yes, I can't wait for the romantic times too when we go out on our first date and share our first kiss and all that jazz, but I'm really looking forward to the ordinary moments when I just am so blessed to have you by my side for better and for worse. I think when I was younger I focused more on the romantic side of things, but as I've grown up I have become so much more aware of how important it is to have someone who knows everything about you and still sticks around for the adventures that life throws at you and is absolutely crazy in love with you. Right now, I don't need flowers and chocolate (although I love those things); right now I just need a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and arms to wrap me in a hug. Basically, in a nutshell, I'm looking for stability. And as Brene Brown talks about mainly vulnerability, I know I've got to practice this and that will take time. I'm learning so much right now about myself and wish you would appear soon so that I can share with you about everything and we can grow together, but during this waiting period of my life where I currently find myself, I am finding that I am beginning to understand myself in ways that I know will make a huge difference in the way that I relate to others and more importantly to you. So, Future Husband, I hope that today you are having many ordinary moments that are truly extraordinary!
Forever and always faithfully yours,
Your Future Wife
