American Holiday Romance

Hello My Beloved,

I could not think of what to possibly get you this Christmas. Or even what would be safe to send to your deployment station over seas. I thought maybe a blanket because of the cold or even some mittens and a hat but the over seas packing prices are ridiculious.

So I wrote you a list with this note a list of things I love about you because you wouldn't believe me most days. I send you this list to always look at when you are having a bad day or whenever you just want to. So to my beloved; my one and only: I give you this list I made just for you. Hopefully you like it.

No seriously I really hope you dont mind my sappy happiness about being in love with you.

10 things I love about you

To start it iff with is number one: Your smile. I love the way you smile when you laugh and are doing the things you enjoy. It makes me smile and love you more.or I love when you smile at jokes and and sarcasm and simply when we are together and doing nothing but cuddling one another.

The second would be Your eyes. I love the way your eyes shine when you look at me or are doing an activity you enjoy. The way they light up at food or games or even a joke you share with me. Your eyes show me the world and tells me all I need. People lie with their mouths but their eyes never lie.

Not be forgotten by the number three there is your Warmth. Even when I'm frozen solid you still warm me up with your body heat. You warm my heart and my soul with all your ububnent amounts of love and faith and support. The warmth of your love for me;for us. No distance can make that kind of warmth go away because even when you are deployed over seas; I know you still love me and I still love you.

Followed of course by number four: Your Height. The height difference between us is one of my favorites. You at six foot four and myself at five foot five. Let's wear all the high heels I want. You are my tree giant and I am your little charmander. May we never change our silly little nicknames for one another.

As long as number Five is here so is your rare amounts of fun Seriousness. You get so serious so very rarely but when you do I find it the most adorable thing possible. You get serious when you say you love me and are proud of me. I know work is always so serious for you as you work for the Army. So its rare your seriousness is for something simple and fun.

Number six is your most wonderful Hugs. You always have a hug for me no matter where we are. You hug me at the store, at home, and in the car. I crave your hugs the most and all the time. When we are apart for long periods of time from deployment. I miss your hugs and warmth the most of all.

Then there was seven and how could I forget your Laughter. Your laughter is the rarest thing of all to hear and I love it all the more. It sounds so happy and carefree the way I wish you could always be. You laugh and I enjoy seeing your happiness on your face because your entire being lights up. Its so rare the times we get to actually be together because of your work that anytime I can hear you laugh. It is the best time for me.

Number Eight that becomes infinity to your favorite Games. Your video games are always fun and no I do not mind that you play them. The best is when we play together but even when I always lose, I win bc you're there with me. Spending my time with you is my favorite way to pass the time and you cannot change my mind about it either. Even when you try to learn my favorite card games and we just play word games. Any time together is the best time.

Not to forget number nine:All of your silly Jokes. Yes nearly all of your jokes are corny dad jokes and I love them all the same. Your jokes about space and science and even when you have to explain it to me. I enjoy them all because you find them funny and that's all that matters to me. Your jokes are never ending just like our love.

Lastly but not ever least the number ten: You. I love you most of all because you ask nothing of me except my time and love; when I am more than ready to give you the world if I could. I love that you hold nothing back and present to me the realist you possible. I love all sides of you; the good and the corny and the happy ans the sad. If I could wipe away all the worry and stress I would do it all for you. But you love me flaws and all and that's the most meaningful part of you.

So to conclude: These aThto only ten of them because if I counted them all it would fill a whole book. Even though you have already read one of my stories; I decided on this list for starters. I love you my darling and all the nerdiness and weridness that it involves.

You accept me so easily and love all my strange ways. You have never put me down or made me feel unloved. You are proud of me when I accomplish anything I set out to do. You cheer me on instead of bringing me down. You smile at my stupid jokes and find me adorable when I pout at you. You don't mind my many "I love you's" and you don't get annoyed when I say I miss you a million and one times.

So many things to add to the never ending list of reasons why I love you. I think I will leave it at this and let you think of the rest.

Sincerely ,

You're beloved little Charmander
