Family

I love how important your family is to you! I don't hear you guys say "I love you" a lot, but I've noticed you say it in other ways. This last Christmas I could tell how important it was just to "be" with your parents. It doesn't matter what you do, or what you eat, or even what you talk about. It just matters to you that you show them they're important enough to visit every chance you get. And I love that about you. It's a quiet devotion, and it's very sincere.

You're So Pretty!

I love how pretty you are! You are a natural beauty with AMAZING eyes! I love how long your dark eyelashes are. I love that freckle on your lip that lines up with mine. I love the softness of your face when I snuggle you at night. I love the elegant ballerina arch in your feet. I love how feminine your hands are because they make mine look manly when we hold hands. I love your new "runner's calves." I love running your hair through my fingers while you fall asleep. You have always had great hair! I love your undeniably womanly features. I love how straight your teeth are. I love your high cheek bones and uninhibited smile. I love how you make me proud to walk with you in public places.

Week One!

I love how supportive you are. You truly are unselfish with your life! I love that you've accepted my choices and have put your own goals on the sideline in support of mine. I love that even though you deserve better, and have watched your friends and family get more faster than we have, you have been pleasant in poverty. You have faith in me and I can't put a price on that! Countless times I've caught you "house dreaming" or shopping for cars, clothes, and everything else you might have been able to have by now if you had chosen someone else. I'm glad you didn't. I love you for being patient and for supporting me. Remember how proud you are when I text you that I'm about to fly over you. Remember how fun it has been to dig through the coin jar on top of that rickety bookcase looking for change to fill up the drink mug. Remember how much I hate needles! I love you.

Merry Christmas Kara!
