I have an entire rubbermaid box full of notes and cards like this. Through these notes you can see our relationship grow from friends to dating to love. Now looking at our life together - married, 2 kids and so much more - I just can't believe it. It really is something special. I often say the way our story played out is maybe not how I would have scripted it. I mean who really wants to meet the love of their life when they are 14 but God had a bigger and better plan than I could have ever imagined and I would not change a thing!
Matt is an amazing writer and some of the thoughts and things he wrote down still blow me away today. I don't know what exactly to do with all of them but I do know I will keep them forever. That is a big deal for this girl who gets rid of everything! I guess one day Ben and Kate will look through them and I hope it will provide them a legacy of our love.
That is so sweet Emily! I could have totally written this post about Chris and myself :). If I go looking for something and find one of our old boxes of letters a whole hour can go by while I read them and look at the great pics from the 90s LOL!
