Hey Brian,

Thank you for reclaiming the bedroom.  I know how much I am loved because you did this for me.

This is the day after the hemp oil.  It was a bizarre experience to be so untethered in conveying my thoughts.  Today I dealt with the fallout of justifying my wild claims so that they were embraceable and substantial to you.

I'm stunned by the kind of person that I am transforming into while being on this journey with you.  My rough spots are getting erased because I am auto self correcting.  I scrutinize my level of negativity with you.  You are making me desire to be a nice person.  That is not any Betty I have ever met but here she is.  The Betty I know is a double edged sword that is not safe to handle, but yet here still you are, brave enough to wield even having been forewarned.

I love it that I have the superpower of "thinking of things that are amazing about you and then saying it out loud."

Today has been the best day ever!  After trying on the words "getting married" for the past few days we are actually finding it to have a rather comfortable fit.  

I'm glad that I gave you an imaginary gold chocolate ticket and "get out of jail free card" signifying that I will never make you feel less than no matter how much you have it coming.  Maybe it goes without saying in many relationships that making your partner feel like a loser is off limits, but I planned to make up for the ways that life had been unfair to you.  I told you I would find a way to heal you.  This is how I show my appreciation for all that you have done for me.

I'm glad I got a chance to substantiate my claim of a standing ovation that I received at Stivers while substituting one day.  I appreciate you listening to the speech that I gave to the class that day.  Has anyone ever told you that you are a good listener?  Gosh, I knew there might have been a reason that I was keeping you around.

You're so much a man that fills my heart.  I love the air that I breathe because you allow me to share with you the things that I find  delightful.
