Today was a hard day for my best friend, Becca. Her boyfriend Justin was given the opportunity to work at Intel in California for 3 months, and although it is an amazing opportunity for him, it is super hard for Becca... and trust me! I totally know how it feels when your boyfriend leaves. But, on a positive note, Justin and Becca are literally the cutest couple on the face of this earth. There has never been two people more meant for each other than them. They are both kind to one another, selfless, loving, and they have such a fun time together. When you watch them together, there is no doubt that their love is true and genuine. Before Justin left, he gave Becca a letter (double sided!) with reasons why he loved her. I totally loved that idea, so even though my Matthew is away until August 2017, I started my own little letter for him. I filled an entire page front and back with ease. There are so many things I love about that sweet boy I just can't even begin to say. After I finished, I folded it, sealed it up in an envelope, and tucked it into my special "Matthew box"...and let me explain that as well. I have a box that I was given by my young women's leader when I had just turned 12, and it has a picture of the Mesa, AZ temple on it. When I met Matthew when I was 14, I decided that this box would be dedicated to him. So, from most every date we've been on, and from other adventures we've taken, I have tucked little things away so that one day he can open it and see all of our great memories we have had together over the years. He doesn't know about this box yet, but he will someday.
I am so grateful for love. Yes, that sounds cheesy, but I am. Whether it be love to a spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, sibling, parent, grandparents, etc. it is just the most amazing, pure, and special feelings in my book.
I am so grateful that Becca found such a sweet love with Justin, and I am also so grateful for the love Matthew and I have. <3
