Mushfest, line one

My dearest pineapple,

I’m about to head out the door for the majority of the afternoon for a dress rehearsal, but I wanted to take a minute before I ran out the door to tell you a little something…

I am 100%, head over heels, in love with you.

I know that people around us will say it’s too fast; too fast to feel so strongly; too fast to be so certain.  But, love, I know.  I just know.  I know it in the way you say my name.  I know it in how I feel when I lean in and kiss you and the feel of your lips against mine makes my heart beat faster.  I know it when we fall asleep on the couch during a movie and take the best nap ever.  I know it when we talk about plans for the future and I believe everything you tell me about where we’re going to live and what our wedding napkins will look like.  I know it when I fall asleep listening to you breathe.  I know it when we talk about our new last name.  I know it when I am more open and honest with you then anyone I’ve ever been with before.  I just…I just know it.

Time is the test of a love like ours.  We have some obstacles in our way that will make the next few months an interesting challenge, but I believe in us.  I believe in what lies ahead tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.  That’s how much I love and trust you.

Thank you for believing in us as much as I do and for doing everything in your power to make this crazy, fast, powerful, beautiful love into the reality of my every day existence.

I am with you always, even through the challenging time and I love you.  I love you fully for everything you are in this moment.  Happiness resides in you, happiness resides in us.

All of my love,

Bear cub
