dear husband ...

Dear Mr A,

I am pretty lucky to be your wife I think and I am really enjoying being married to you. So I thought I would write you a list. It is entitled ‘50 reasons why you are THE BEST husband’ and there are 50 reasons why  I think you are so awesome.

…

50 reasons why you are THE BEST husband

1

1. There is no one else I feel more comfortable with than you. Whether I am dressed to the nines or  in my tracky dacks or winning farting comps I know no matter what you still love me and think the world of me!

2. You’re a really good kisser!

3. You’re not ‘too cool’ or afraid to try silly things. Like mud masks (which I know you really love!) and dancing in the kitchen (even if you don’t let me take photos for fb)

4. You stick to your word and you never let people down. If you say you are going to help someone or do something, you always live up to that promise = You are a man of your word.

 

5. You’re always on time. I am not – you get me moving and grooving !

6. You’re fun to play with. Dreaming of the day we can have a large house and have a really good game of chase!

7. You help around the house and don’t complain when asked to do a load of washing or the dishes. ( and I REALLY appreciate your spontaneous help around the place)

8. Pretty much every week you clean the bathroom - Nuff said!

9. You love to find bargains and get excited when I find a really good sale item! for e.g. -  your latest email "yea boy we just got 22.91 credit in our savings! Free money!! :)"

10. You sing along with me in the car.Sometimes you even harmonize (its really cute!) And sometimes you sing ‘girl’ songs “I’m just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a game and love is a riddle”...

11. You’re very smugly and give the best hugs.

12. You cook dinner for me almost every night, a lot of times trying something you never have before and learning all the time.

13. You really can’t wait to have a baby – seriously this one MELTS me and scares me at the same time!

14. You SOMETIMES like to discuss baby names

15. When I ask you to, you play with and brush my hair

16. You love god and have a deep desire to get back into a church family.

17. Whenever I ask you immediately stop what you’re doing and pray for me/us/whatever.

 

18. You sign your name on cards and write sweet messages to my dearest blog friends.

19.You have really neat handwriting and write the cards when I dictate and buy the pressies!

20.You know how to make a really good cuppa just the way I like it!

21.You let me climb all over you, and 'bury!' and snuggle in while quite nearly suffocating you in the process!

22. When you say “I love you” I know you really mean it

23. You make me laugh like no-one else ... (last bit a little too private to share)

24. You have a few very sexy moves (some I am sure you’re not even aware of!)

25. You have a funny, crazy and very silly streak!

26. You take really good care of your stuff (me included)

27. You don’t blow money on silly things, and don’t spend as much as your friends on car bits – ha take that subyclub.com boys! :)

28. Family holds a really special place in your heart.

29.You really care about me. When I rolled the car and got home to a sleepy eyed you at 6am I could see the love and concern pouring out of you (did I ever tell you that it was a funny moment to but you totally melted me there and then?)

30. You’re a snuggly sleeper!

31. You don’t hold grudges or stay mad for very long!

32. You’re not too proud to admit when you’re wrong

33. You let me talk you into silly things – like date nights with ‘silly rules’

34. Your adventurous – (bit in brackets a little too private to share)

35. You look really hunky when you’re playing the drums

36. I know that if I asked ANYTHING of you would at least try your hand at it

37. You always try and spoil me and provide me with things I want but don’t really need, like LUCY (our kitchen aid!!)

38 You hold the nail polish for me when I do my nails and tell me it’s pretty

39. You don’t get too grossed out when I have forgotten to shave…  AGAIN: P – sorry love!

40. a little too private too share :)

41. You have a really sexy body! AND you look good in lots of clothes

42. You’re fun to pick clothes out for and style and dress up …

43. And you’re equally as fun to undress !

47. 99% of the time you have a great sense of humor – and 1% of the time I just don’t get it :P

48. You make pinky promises with me in our cute fashion

49. You have the ability to melt me on the spot and make me loose my breath, words and thoughts all at once.

50. You’re the favourite thing in my life and I know how strongly you feel about the vows and promises we made to each other and that your sticking around for.. well ever!

I love you mr !

And now I will email you the unedited version ;)

Love wife

date night.

Because I don't want to ever forget this special date night...

Last Wednesday night was date night. yipee! Date #3 of this book and a special night together to celebrate 5 years of getting to know one another, 5 years of sillyness and fun and 5 years of falling in love with one another. over and over again.We giggled and laughed and gave each other 'hi 5's 4 5!' and really got to talk - no distractions. Just me and him being young and silly and in love. That was probably my favourite bit. And that M - we'll he went out of his way to make this a special night for me. I'd been having a bad start to the week (so may changes and big unknowns happening here at the moment) and he announced that he was taking me out to dinner and we were going to celebrate this occasion in style. With a real fancy dinner at a very lovely and posh restaurant. Which was actually a beautiful old manor style house which has been converted into a restraunt. And my main meal - well lets just say I was really sad when the last mouthful was gone. It was that yummy! When he picked me up and I got in the car that night there was a little wrapped present (with a bow) sitting on the front seat for me. He had brought me these babushka measuring cups! I so SO love them!

 Then after dinner as we hopped back into the car he handed me a small bank statement for a recently opened account. He had started a special account to save up for my one day kitchen aid mix master with some monies already set aside for it. it was a really really sweet gesture! and oh how I really love that boy :)

In other news our engagement party has been featured on the new party inspiration website catchmyparty.com. A new site where you can upload images from your own parties and find inpiration from other peoples too. Jillian from catch my party found our engagement party online and asked me if she could feature us - well of course! There is also a little feature over on their blog...

Dear...

Have you seen this blog yet?

I think it's just the cutest!

"Leah Dieterich's mother always told her to write thank you notes. So she does. To everything."

seriously seriously sweet!

we're giggling it up over here.

some favourites...

Also enjoying this song 

+ this song too.

We enjoyed singing some really girly songs together on the way down to Sydney today.

and my, oh my that boy of mine can hit some high high notes!!!

I'd have to say I am also enjoying that

because it makes me laugh :)

prepared

M and I are excited to be heading down to Sydney tomorrow to meet with his Uncle Ken. 

We love Uncle Ken - he's very fun and silly, is awesome pastor and come November he is going to marry us.

We're excited to have him be such a part of our special day, that we will always be able to have the pastor that married us in our lives and that he is one who means so much to us.

Tomorrow we will start our first session of our pre marriage course 'PREPARE'

+ Uncle Ken is going to fix all that is wrong with Morgan!
As I, of course, am pretty much perfect ....

we're off to a great start huh ;)

hehe

Good thing the Mr knows I'm just joking here! 
A lot of our married friends and family have highly recommended pre marriage courses to us as an excellent tool for heading into marriage with + we're excited to begin.

 I will let you know how it goes.

Also talking about recommending ...
we are really loving this book and our dates and would recommend it to engaged couples for sure. Not only do you get to go on ten fun dates along the way but you will also discuss a lot of things before marriage - dealing with conflict, each others expectations of marriage, household chores, traditions and working out how your differences can actually balance each other out and make you a much stronger couple.
Also in the current Kt + M library is this book, which I'm really enjoying reading at the moment too.
:D

Love Letter: Day 2

To the spunky guy with the subaru whom he loves alot ... but not as much as ME,

Hey babe! I have decided to write u a small love letter here each day to keep you updated on what we get up to each day and use the enteries as a kinda diary of my travels.

So here goes ... a little catch up for you:

* the flight was good. long, but I never got to the stage where you think "are we there yet?" and then you look at the clock and it says there's still 4 hours left! So that was great.
* My flight to Brissy was late arriving and they were taking the final calls for my connecting flight but as there was a large amount of us connecting one of the flight staff was waiting for us and took us all over to the international terminal, helping us with paperwork etc. SO helpful
* the international planes are big!! super big!
* and people in business class are lucky. super lucky!
* I had to sit between 2 strangers - for 12 hours! But the guy next to me and I became quite good friends in the end.
* And plane food isn't that bad. But they didn't really serve fruit - oh how my mum would be disappointed!
*  My flight into LA was early and I got through custom so quickly so I got there a little before Leslie but I knew her as soon as we saw one another.
* Hugging and meeting a bloggy friend in real life is surreal and so amazing.
* Leslie is amazing. and sweet and so is her little fam.
* I have only tried to get in the wrong side of the car once.. er make that twice (I did it again today!)
* I think you need to experience driving here. You would like it. but then again you just like driving full stop! it's strange and feels almost like you are over turning in the car and I keep getting confused
* the toilets are strange. super strange and low. And they FILL UP with water when u flush them?! I thought I'd chosen a toilet with a blocked pipe the first time I used one and that it was going to go everywhere!
* Cali is really warm so I have been able to wear jeans and short sleeved tops. how crazy is that?
* But I am expecting to freeze when I head further north!
* Rylan Mae is my sweet little shadow. She likes to wear my 'pretties' (headbands) and shoes and ask me what are u doing to everything I do. I totally want one - tantrums and all !!
* Yesterday we just hung around the house, relaxing and settling in.
* I miss you, but then again thats a given :)
*Today we went shopping at an awesome fabric places. SO So cheap we may have brought a lot!!

just maybe :)
you still love me right?
Always yours..
Kt

ps. Also I think it's so cute how excited you were over our feature on Polka Dot Bride :)



pps. I have a strange request: Can u email me a picture of your toilet and it's height in relation to the vanity - hehe thanks babe :)

Love Letter no:1

My Dearest Morgan,

Today was Friday - the exciting end of the week. The day where you get off work early and then you come to play. And we giggle. Sometimes we giggle ALOT because I do silly things like dangle off your back while you take off your shoes and make you play tag with me around the house. And sometimes.. well sometimes you just sleep. Cause you know it's been a looong week! Fortunately this afternoon was a silly one. (they are kinda my favourite!)

You picked me up and we drove in that big four wheel drive your family owns. The one I almost need a step ladder to get into cause it is SO high. Off to do afternoon errands. But I didn't mind, even though the air conditioner leaked water all over my shoes every time you took a left hand turn (seriously that water was REALLY coming out of there - with force!) - Did you mean to take so many of those left handed turns? But it didn't matter because I was with you. And you were with me. And that is really all that matters.

I love how we chatted and played as we drove along. And you teased me pretending you didn't remember that in high school Fridays were 'snuggle day' and that Friday to us just simply didn't exist. Until I was so confused by what you were saying and what you actually remembered. Oh I should know your game - you always get me with jokes like that!! Or how you refused to go along with my stupid plan to call the afternoon storm a 'snuggle storm' - I really was just being silly you know. And how you said you'd never call it that in front of anyone or tell anyone you did and how now I have just posted it on the internet for the WORLD to see because I am awesome, like that :)

And I am sorry that I probably embarrassed you in the optometrist while I was getting my contacts checked for the second time because they are 'smudgy'. And for yelling out silly things like "I think it's my eyes that are all smudgy""maybe their broken""Whats the weather forecast this afternoon baby?" or "I can't seeeee you!"
Or how I couldn't resist putting my just my leg outside the half open door and shaking it around pretending it was sexy just to get a rise from you. I hope I make you laugh and smile (because well you know I didn't have my contacts in and couldn't see your face). And I hope I was able to take your mind off a long not so good work week!
and of course for anyone interested, my optometrist was out the back while I was carrying on so! although we do have a few laughs together and I think he finds me funny and not too strange :)

Thanks for a fun afternoon my love...
I love you forever even though you truly do remember snuggle days, even when you say you don't :)
lets play forever and always be silly.
Always your
kt bear
