With Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, I am feeling a little cheesy. My boyfriend and I have been together officially for six months now and he has already completely changed my world. He came into my life when I needed him without even knowing it. I was going through a period of time where I was truly happy with who I was and confident in who I was presenting to the world. But, I was still struggling with finding someone to share it with, and I was ready for that. Then, my boyfriend walked into my job during the summer and it feels like the rest is history.

Ethan,

The first thing I want to tell you is thank you. Thank you for showing me what it is I actually deserve. It is easy to speak about it and think about all the things you want/deserve from a relationship. It is a completely different experience to have someone actually taking the time to give it to you. Thank you for making me feeling like I am the only girl in the most crowded room. Constantly showing me how you are always thinking about me, even from seven hours away. You make the distance between us seem so short and so bearable. Thank you for giving me something I have never had before, complete confidence. Confidence in not only our relationship, but in who I am as a person.

I admire so many things about you. Your passion, determination, and confidence shines in everything that you do. You are one of the most motivated people I have ever met and that just motivates me to be the best version of myself. That is what makes me so sure that you are going to be so successful in anything you put your mind to. The way you love and care about how people feel and how you treat them is so commendable. Handling a strong personality like mine is not easy, but you do it so effortlessly and with that bright smile on your face the whole time. You are the type of person so many aspire to be (I know I do).

Happy (early) Valentine's Day Babe! I can not wait to make all the memories in the world with you. I truly feel at home when I am with you. See you so soon!
