The Heart Grows Fonder

Jordan,

It is almost New Years and I am about to leave for Nepal.  I am so excited to see you soon.  But, I know we are both having a really hard time being apart for 3 weeks.  This is maybe one of the hardest things I will ever do.  We will ever do.  I am scared, but tonight I looked at the faces of some Tiny Hands' children and I just began to cry.  Seeing their faces made my fears go away.  I know I must go.  But it does not make it any easier to leave you.  I miss you every day that I am away from you.  I don't know how I will do 22 days.  God's strength is the only way I will be able to.  I can't believe that there was a time in my life that I didn't have you to talk to.  I don't know how I did it, although I guess God and prayer is the answer to that too.  Jordan, thank you for being so good to me.  I know this isn't easy, but no matter how hard it is, it won't change my feelings for you ever. Maybe its like they say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".  I can only guess that means I will love you even more tomorrow than I do today after my trip.  Each day my love grows deeper for you.  I can only believe that will happen each day of this trip as well.  Babe I love you so much, please never forget that.

I love you so much Jordan Arvin, so very much.

1 Year Anniversary

Happy Anniversary honey :) I love you so incredibly much honey, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. You make me want to pursue after God, and I am so very blessed for that. Thank you for all that you have done for me. I love knowing that you will always be there for me and support me. I love you more and more each day. I will always be here for you.

Jordan,

I haven't posted something on here in so long! I'm so sorry I haven't taken full advantage of this site.  It was one of the best things you've ever done for us.  I used to love using it and I still want to.  I miss doing little things like this.  I know we have both been so busy, but God has been challenging us and teaching us and what a blessing that is.   Be consumed by His peace Jordan.  He is amazing.  I've been reminded of so many songs lately and this song is what I have thought about with what we have been going through.  Honey, I promise to be fully committed to you, to be faithful to you, to never leave you. I will always be by your side.  I will always love you.  My love for you will be the overflowing love that God shows me continually.

Your parents and Hannah are coming tomorrow and I am soo excited! I can't wait to have a stronger relationship with them. I want that so badly.  I can't wait to show them how much I love their amazing son :) I love you Jordan Arvin.  So very much.  Always and Forever.

Your beloved,
Kelsey

P.S.
I can't wait to be your Mrs. Arvin :)

They Will Pass

Hey honey. I am sorry for being so distant and busy lately. Work and school has really gotten me down, but I wan to thank you for always  being here for me. I know that this time apart has been hard, and we have both had busy summers, but it will pass. I am looking forward to the day where I can call you my wife. I can't wait to  come home to you everyday after school and work :) I love you honey, so much.

Love is a choice

Advice from a man who has been married 32 years:

"Not only is love an emotion, it is also a choice.  Somedays you'll wake up and the feelings will be there and sometimes they won't.  But you love them the fullest because love is a choice.  And if you choose to love someone the feelings will always be there."

8 Months

Happy 8 months babe :) We have come so since this day. It's amazing to see how God has worked in our relationship over this past year. I hope you liked the flowers! I can't wait to see you honey. I miss you so much, and I think about you all the time. 5 more days until I get to see you! How great is that :) I love you honey. Always will too.
