Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE this boy? I love absolutely everything about him.

I love that I have never had to put on an act. Case in point:

This picture was from our first date (haha jk, but it's been like this from day 2.)

I love that he is ridiculously good looking. I mean, really. Come see how good he looks. And he knows it too! Rawwwr!

I love that he's a little bit baller. He acts like this (above) around most people until you get to know him and find out that he's a BIG softie. Big widdle teady beaw (bear). I love my not-so-little baller boy.

I love that he's confident. I love that he can shave his head, put all the extra hair on awkward places on his body, and then send me a picture. He's resourceful AND creative!

I love it. I love every part of this picture. Especially that big Ryguy smile.

I love the look on his face when he knows he's in trouble. (see above-on the far right. Click on it to see it bigger.) I love that this picture makes me laugh because he got caught eating a whole box of chips ahoy cookies.

I love that I see this face more often than not. He pulls it a lot.

I love every single thing about this boy, the good-the bad-and the ugly. And trust me, there's ugly.

I hate that I'm forgetting what it's like to have him around, although we both are being blessed and he still adds so much to my life. Lately time has felt like a camel in the desert (incase you didn't catch that analogy...I meant REALLY SLOW). While letters and pictures are great, and the work he is doing is so important, and this is such a great time for personal growth for us both........I miss him. In all aspects of the word.

Half of me is missing and I can't freakin wait to get it back.
