Love my Lover..... Love Letters

In keeping with the theme that has been going on this week, I have decided to share something very sweet with you all.  Ben and I dated for a year, and during that year we sent each other 2-3 letters a week.  Looking back I realize what a special treasure I have, in both the letters, and Ben.  While being a very wonderful husband and father, he is quite the author.  I am not sure if this is just my opinion, since I was the recipient of all of the lovely words, or if in actuality he is a great writer.  I know that the letters were a great way for us to get to know each other, and also an unexpected way for us to fall in love.  Hmmmm.  I love Love Letters.

This is the box where we keep all of those keepsakes from the "Year of the Letters".  

I love this Box and all that it represents to me. This box is old and tattered, but it is held together by some strong supports.  I sometimes feel like Ben and I are like an old married couple.  We read each other well, and we hold hands a lot.  We are held securely by a strong support.  When you open up the box you see a lot of letters, trinkets and keepsakes.  The things that are part of our foundation that I will always cherish.  I resist the urge to share a tidbit or 2 out of the box.  But for now, I am just going to look through it myself, and enjoy the memories, and feel the way I felt 12 years ago.  Amazing! and Mushy. :)

Oh how I Love my Lover.
