We spent a very cold New Year’s Eve at Julie and Kenny’s new house. We had great food, great drinks, and great fun until I smashed my head…

Love, Rachel
I am in love with your smile. It makes my heart melt. When you touch me with your lips the world around me disappears and for just a moment it’s only me and you. No time, no space, just me and you. You make my world a whole lot more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I am so thankful that God placed you at my breakfast table that Sunday morning. You have changed my heart and I fall more in love with you every moment of every day. You are my sunshine. I love you!

Trip to Skaneateles
We took a spontaneous trip (as we sometimes do) to a small town called Skaneateles just outside of Syracuse. We spent the day shopping and shared several drinks and a tasty meal at the only restaurant in town. We stayed the night in Syracuse and shopped at the mall the next day before coming back home.

Kissing Over Downtown
We went up to the rooftop of my office building in the heart of downtown Rochester where we shared on of our first kisses to share another, almost one year later. Then we headed over to Dinosaur BBQ to celebrate your mom’s birthday with your family.

The Hidden Note
Today at work, I found this little blessing in my notebook from you. I texted you a photo of it and you told me that you left it there 7 months ago on the very first day I ever took you to my office. We hadn’t even said “I love you” yet, but you knew you loved me and left me this hoping I would find it someday. What an incredible find. Love you babe!

My Space
You give me all the space I need and take great care of me when work gets really busy.

Daily Excitement
Rachel: I am so excited for today! I hope your morning is going well! :D
Matt: I love how excited you get about each and every day. It’s beautiful.
Rachel: Life is so beautiful, how can you not be happy? :)
Matt: Just another reason why I love you so much.

6 Months
To celebrate 6 months of sharing each others lives together, we decided that instead of going out to a fancy dinner, we would just stay in and relax in pajamas while watching movies all night. I decided to take that idea further and setup about 30 candles throughout the living room, dining room, and kitchen and left light love songs playing in the background for when you arrived. I also bought checkers and yahtzee and set them up for additional entertainment. We relaxed alone all night and just enjoyed being with each other; reflecting on where we have come from and where we are now. I love you Rachy!

Toquito, Tosquistos, Chosquattas.
We say the most ridiculous things…

Caught in the rain
We got caught in the rain together. On purpose.

Babe, that’s my car!
You says this about every car that you like.

My Poem
You texted me and said, “I wrote you an amazing poem”. To which my brain responded, “Oh Lord what am I about to read…”. Well, this is what I got. You always finds a way to make me smile or laugh. I love you for the total goofball you are.
-
Every. Single. Sunday.
We attend the 11:30 service each week. Each week you buy a coffee and illegally sneak it into the auditorium in a huge purse.
-
A Day to Remember
We started the day by attending an awesome church service at The Father’s House (the first you have seen that included a live dance performance and giant bouncy balls). We went home to change and take advantage of the perfect weather (75 and sunny with a cool breeze). We drove through Letchworth State Park just looking at the beautiful scenery and enjoying each others company. That night you made waffles and scrambled eggs which we lathered with syrup, huckleberry jam, whipped cream, butter, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar while we watch The Rescuers Down Under. Then we sat out on the deck and talked for about an hour under the stars before packing it in for the night.

Exploring Highland Park
We went out for a big birthday celebration for all our friends that have April birthdays, but before that, we went for a nice walk in Highland Park just to breathe the new spring air and be with each other.

Peace only comes after the battle has been fought.
Rachel: I am not going to let grumpy pants ruin my girls night!
Matt: Good for you. I don’t have that ability. I would have told her off.
Rachel: I love that about you. I just like to keep the peace.
Matt: I do too, but I just can’t deal with stuff like that. Peace comes after the battle has been fought!
(Somehow I get the feeling you won’t love that about me when we have our next serious argument…)
-
What?!?!?
You say this at least 100 times a day.
-
K’NEX & Lego’s
We sat in my bedroom for hours and built small K’NEX and Lego models while listening to some good beats. You built a “ship”, which was basically a pile of pieces and a few wings that you stuck on top of some wheels. I built some nifty models to put on my desk at work.

God only knows what kinds of animals live in there…
While driving through the mountains and woods on our way to Baltimore one weekend, you looked out the window…
Rachel: God only knows what kinds of animals live in there!!
Matt: Actually, I think we have a pretty solid understanding of what animals live in the woods.
-
Destination: Nowhere
Sometimes we like to take random drives through Rochester’s beautiful countryside. Or really any countryside for that matter. Driving in the car together with no particular destination is one of our favorite things to do.

Morning Texts
Almost every morning I wake up to a text message from you. The words “I love you and I hope you have a wonderful day” will never get old.

In the Beginning…
I asked you to be my girlfriend tonight. You said “yes”.
