Hailey,

as you may know now I don’t actually write a lot of letters or such. But I hope you’ve noticed that when I do I write straight from the heart and as I’m an over thinker I overthink my message to the point I write it down on my notepad on my phone to copy it over to a handwritten note to convey more meaning. We are approaching a year together so quickly, and I don’t know if I’m giving you this little paper on our anniversary or prior. Likely our anniversary. Wow I am rambling. I’ll try not to delete anything from this prewritten note to keep its authenticity, wait no, realism? Anyways, (that comma was a period on accident, already made a mistake) how do I convey how much I’ve loved spending time with you? Well, for starters I want to spend this break time with you with absolutely no worries. Wow there’s going to be a lot to write (yes I am writing out my thoughts I don’t know why) but you’re worth the effort, definitely more than python work haha. I love you, I know I don’t express it in words as much as I may do when we are texting but I appreciate everything you do and how what you give me is always accompanied with joy. It amazes me how you notice things about me that I don’t even notice or how you know things about me that I wouldn’t even know. You are so crazy thoughtful and I can’t wait to spend more time with you. The cruise is so close! That trip is going to be so much fun I hope! You get along so well with my family and one of my favorite things honestly is that you love my dog. He makes me so happy too and to hear that you think he’s cute and fluffy makes me so happy. I’m so emotional, tearing up right now. You are the most considerate, thought out, and loving person ever. Yes you can be messy at times but you seem to always be organized in being kept together. I love to see you be happy, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you happier than the time of the parade at Universal. I love the way you naturally just cuddle up with me despite you not remembering it in the morning. I love the way you squish your cats face and say squishy face. I love how you picked up playing cookie run haha. I love the way you playfully banter with your family. And though I may “hate” how you forcibly get me stuff from the store like if I come with you just as company you ask me if I want anything and you can tell so that I do want something (or even if I don’t) you still get me something. I appreciate it all so much and I can’t express how much I enjoy my time with you even when I’m not in the best of moods. This year has really been a roller coaster for me and as I think back on everything I am about to cry. I had a rough start to my last semester with trying to consider a passionate choice which lead to a major change, got COVID, questioned my support (which I never should’ve knowing my family), lost my grandma, and generally got reality checked. Facing stress and frustration often now. But with you everything seems to feel at ease. Haha reminds me military academy “AT EASE”. I love you, happy anniversary Hailey.
