10 Things…

I wrote this on February 20th.  Not for any other reason than I wanted to tell Chriso that I loved him.  And sometimes it’s easier to say everything I want to say through email.  With no interuptions.  With no extra dialogue.  With nothing but my words.

It is not our anniversary.  It is not a special day.  In fact, it’s snowing outside, and I’m becoming more concerned that due to such “inclement weather,” I may not see Chriso tonight.  And that makes me sad.  But I know that we will have plenty of time to spend together in the future, so a snow day isn’t the worst thing that could ever happen.

I added a few things to the original email, so there are definitely more than 10 things that I love about him

Anyway, I wanted to post this because I miss Chriso, even though I see him every day.  And I love him more than words could ever express.

10 Things I love about you… (plus a few extras)

10.  You’re passionate about many different things.  I love watching you just relax while playing music, and get excited in Bible Study about dates and orders.  You have so much fire and so much drive, and I know that whatever you want to do, you will accomplish it.  Even if it is being a “middle aged priest” in a BC student film.

 

9.  You have great hair.  And you’re incredibly good looking.  Sometimes, when I look at you, I can’t help be get caught up in your ruggedness.  I wouldn’t have you change a thing.  I love your hair, both facial and otherwise… You’re just a good looking guy…

 

8.  You care about the little things… everything from how I’m feeling, whether I got home safely, to how my day went at work.  And I think it’s incredible that you would care so much to want to beat up my ex because he’s being  a douche at work.  

 

7.  We have so many things in common… I love just driving around aimlessly with you, and going to Church and even working with you.  I love that we have so much that we share, but there are still things that we don’t share, and there are so many things that we will share eventually.  And we can be dorky together.  And I love that we can just sit and do nothing and have it still be a lot of fun.  And we want the same things out of life: warmer climates, children, lots of shagging…

 

6.  You want to be with me.  And I want to be with you.  And that’s all we need.

 

5.  After 11 years (9 officially of being together), we are still as hot as we ever were, if not hotter.  And we keep getting better.  And you’re so adventurous, and I know that if I made a suggestion, you’d want to try… all I have to do is say the word and you’re ready and willing, and that’s incredible.

 

4.  You do what you want, you say what you need to say, and you’re independent (to a point under the given circumstances).  You typically don’t hold back, even if it comes out in Chriso-speak and we need to translate.  You’re just so free and laid back and appear to not have very many cares.

 

3.  The way you love… You throw yourself into it with reckless abandon.  Yes, you’ve been hurt before, but that didn’t stop you from taking another chance on love and going for it full throttle.  You love your music, and your children, and your family, and me… but seeing you do it, watching you love so fully is nothing short of amazing.

 

2.  I love the way you make me feel.  Sometimes it’s just a look or the quick turn of a phrase, or a small gesture, and you give me butterflies

 

1.  Just because.

1 + 1.  You get me.  Without having to say anything.  Without having to think anything.  Without having to do anything.  You get me.  You know how I think.  We don’t share the same brain, but sometimes it feels like we do because sometimes we can be that in tune with each other.  But you just get me.  And that’s so important.

1 + 2.  I love the way you hold me in your arms.  And the way you run your fingers under my chin.  And the way you kiss me.  And the way I fit in your arms.  It’s like we were meant to fit together like the perfect puzzle pieces.

1 + 3.  No matter what we do, we have a fantastic time.  I know that there will be hard times to come.  But I also know that the good times are not over.  And probably never will be.  And I can always hope that the good times will outnumber the not-so-good times.  But none of that matters… because we’ll be together.  And we’ll always love each other.  And sometimes, that is enough.

1 + 4.  I love the things I see in you.  I love that you remind me of my father in so many ways, and in so many ways you are a completely different person.  The old adage that a woman will marry a man like her father is suddenly making more sense to me.  You are a romantic at heart, and very passionate.  And you encompass all the things I could have only ever dreamed of finding in a partner.

1 + 5.  We can just sit and talk about anything.  I think we are both at a point where communication is one of the most important things, and I really think that we do a great job of just talking.  Even if it’s about nothing.  And you never let me not communicate.  No matter what it is, we always talk thing out.  And you don’t let me off the hook.  and that’s important.

1 + 6.  You are my only one.  And I love you just because.

Love always,

K
