This one isn't easy to sit down and write because nothing I could say would do all of you justice in the way that I would hope I could. I can replay the moment I met you guys because I was extremely nervous. I was scared I wouldn't make the "right" impression. Because, of course, I wanted everyone to love me right from the start. I think one of the most important thinks in my relationship is that my boyfriend's family likes me for who I am. This is so important to me because whatever is important to him, is important to me.

Thank you for constantly making me laugh and feel at home

Whenever I am coming over, I know right away that i'm walking into a world full of laughter and good times. You guys always have a good story to tell me. I can't name one time where I didn't feel like I was home. And I really appreciate the sweet, embarrassing pictures and stories that you all share with me.

Thank you for being here for me

We just have that connection. The connection most people don't get. I never thought that my boyfriends mom would be so much like me. But, I love that you are. You listen to me complain and give me great advise to keep me on my feet. You never fail to cheer me up. You're honestly the best. You're always right there when I fall down. You treat me as if I'm one of your own, and i'll be forever grateful for the love you have for me.

Thank you for letting me make memories with you.

Thank you for trusting me with your son/brother.

I know how important and precious he is to all of you, and I won't break his heart. I will do everything I can to make him as happy as possible. I promise I will never break his heart. It truly means a lot knowing you trust me as much as you do.

Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

Never have you ever said you guys wished I was another girl, or looked like another girl. You all simply love and care for me and that's all I can ask for. Every person is different and has their own different problems, but you get mine, and i'm truly grateful for that.

This may seem all over the place, but that's how my brain works when I try and thank you for everything that you've done for me. It's all so much and the little things are so important too. (Like always buying me coffee — yay.) I just want you guys to know that you are very important to me and everything you do for me isn't unnoticed. Thank you.
