for my bestie.

for my lover.

can you say swag?

i think you are so sexy.

& am still this excited to see you every morning,

& every night when you come home.

(to bad i didn't always look this good)

 i love the way you look at me,

even when i'm fixing your outfits.

baby, it is because i always want you to look fly.

 & even when you are being serious

& i still find things funny,

it is probably because i am laughing about us

& the lyrics i just rhymed about something not so funny.

& even when i fell like we are standing in a storm,

knowing that you are protecting me

& by my side through thick & thin

makes all the rain that much more beautiful.

 & even when you get the look

because i'm frustrated with you,

i still love you.

 scottie, i will always have your back.

no matter where life takes us.

 & i promise,

i am trying to get better at looking like this

in moments where plans go awry. 

 & even when it feels like chaos all around,

know that i will be here to encourage & endure.

 & remember those plans that go awry.

well they are my constant reminder that everything will be okay

& our Fathers plan is perfect.

 i love you for carrying my bags all the time.

even the bright animal print ones that glitter.

 & boo,

oh! how i love to laugh with you.

our rhyming is priceless 

& those moments when a certain someone is running on no sleep.

 & baby when it seems like i'm not paying attention.

i probably am not.

but know that i will be looking fabulous by your side!

((& really I'm probably taking in 

every detail of the environment for later discussion))

 i love that you let me be me.

even if that means dancing at inappropriate times.

stopping the game to organize the shelves.

& walking through my stores knowing i won't buy a thing,

but i just like to look.

 & even though we could be making millions as models,

i love being a newlywed-living-like-college-students-

in-southern-california-with-room mates.

because it means that we are living an adventure together 

& will have many stories to share!

 & when the day comes that we have babies,

know that i will eat healthy & rest just as you desire.

but more importantly that you, baby,

will always be my #1.

i apologize if i have too many opinions.

or questions for that matter.

i'm sure sometimes you wish i would just make faces so my talking would cease.

but really baby, 

thank you for listening 

& answering all my questions.

 & i will always love you.

even when our players get traded & injured.

know that i will always try to look good 

& love the colors of whatever color jersey they wear.

 & when God takes us on adventures,

away from our city & people.

i am thankful that we are in this together & his plan is the best.

 so.

i love you scottie.

more than our wedding day.

& more than yesterday.

thank you for being a fearless leader,

& a god-fearing man.

i can not wait to spend many more "lover" days with you.
