My Future, My Everything

I just got done emailing my incredible boyfriend
and can I just say his mission is a blessing.
I can't even believe how much he's changed in just a few weeks 
of being out in the field! 
He has a completely new perspective on life and 
has treated me like I'm a princess.
Okay he's always treated me like a princess
(That was one of my conditions if we started dating)
but it's different now. 
AND I LOVE IT.
He's so sweet to me and I can tell his mission is changing him.

While we were emailing, he told me he wrote me a letter.
But since it takes so long for letters to get to me,
(Two to three weeks!!! Kill me now...)
He decided to take a picture of it and send it to me when he
had the opportunity to email.
So yes.. I got an amazing handwritten letter along with an amazing
hand-typed letter :)

When I read this, I seriously had to choke back tears.
This right here makes waiting worth it.
He's my future, my everything.

For all you MG's out there... 
Be GRATEFUL for his mission.
It truly is a blessing.

Happy Waiting!!

Sing It At The Top Of Your Lungs

TODAY I AM GRATEFUL FOR MUSIC
Me and Preston have TONSS of songs! 
Of course... what couple doesn't?
Whenever I listen to them it puts the absolute biggest smile on my face! 
So I decided to share them with you :)

Stay Stay Stay by Taylor Swift
This is our official song and literally describes us perfectly! I'm the hot headed one in 
the relationship and he's the one that is always patient and calm. 
But even though we have our occasional spat we still
 love each other more than anything!   

Forever and Always by Parachute
This was our first concert together and it was one of the funnest nights we
ever spent together! Yes this song has a sad ending but we 
loved it because of the chorus and now at the 
end of all our letters or emails we write "love, forever and always"

Then by Brad Paisley
The last night we had together before we went our separate ways for Christmas break
we talked about how insane it was how much we loved each other
in such a short amount of time and how every day we manage to love each other
even more. We ended up listening to this song and it always just stuck.

Superman by Taylor Swift
This is my missionary song! Just listen to the lyrics and you'll understand :)

Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute
This is the song that puts me in tears whenever I listen to it.
When I think of Preston, I think of this song.
At night when I couldn't fall asleep he would sing this song to me.
Yes he would sing me to sleep.
And it was the most incredible thing.
It was our little moment together that no one could take away.
When he moved back to Colorado it was so hard for me to sleep at night because I couldn't
just call him up or have him come sing me this amazing song. 
He knew about this so he did the sweetest thing for me..
he recorded a version of him singing it for me.
Yes I listen to it almost every night.
Yes I'm going to show you guys.

Watch it here!
Haha unfortunately I'm not smart enough to figure out how to upload a Vimeo video onto here..
Yes I know... I'm not the brightest!
But once I figure it out I'll be sure to upload it on here!
