Please, don't be mistaken.

Just going over the blog, I was thinking that people reading this might think that it's just some overly cutesy and fluffy we're-the-perfect-couple blog. I grew up in the 90's, but most of my memories start in the late 90's, the time of chick flicks like Clueless, She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, and my favorite - Titanic. So my view on love and romance is a bit skewed, obviously. I didn't fall in love with my ex-step-brother, or win the heart of the most popular guy in school (or least), and Leonardo DiCaprio was definitely not pining for me. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: my life isn't a movie, and I'm not perfect. Life doesn't work that way.

I don't know if anyone's noticed or cared, but the entire month of June has passed away, and this is my first post of it! June has been a tough month for me, probably the toughest of all months so far. I've been pretty stressed out, irritated, Kite-sick, and crazy emotional. The only thing that's grounded me to reality has been Kite. I said that I'm not perfect, and although he's pretty darn close, I'll admit that Kite isn't perfect either. Neither is our relationship. We have problems, we disagree, I throw bratty fits, and am occasionally unnecessarily mean (notice that I'm the one being a pain in the butt). But I think the key to it all is remembering that we love each other and how much we love each other. No matter what the problem is, I think that's the thing to keep in mind for everyone. As much as Kite and I aren't perfect people, we're perfect for each other; we make it that way.

If you're going through a tough time with your significant other... just remember that you love that person (if you do). Take a moment, breathe, and humble yourself. If you love someone, please treat that person with respect. Don't put them down, don't call them names, and don't make them feel unworthy. No one is perfect - besides God, of course. Don't let something little ruin something great.

“Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right.” - President Ezra Taft Benson

Happy Birthday, Honey!

I'm not typically one to always wear my emotions on my sleeve. According to Yain I always walk around with a scowl on my face. Maybe I do haha. But since today is not a typical day, atypical behavior is in order :) You see, it's the anniversary of the day that my favorite girl in the whole world was born, and I don't really feel like keeping it to myself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!

I know you're 22 years old, but this marks the first birthday that you've been more than "you". You're part of "us" now. So Happy Birthday! Here's to many more, better than the first. It tears my heart out not to be able to be with you on this day of all days. This day that's all about YOU, the amazingly wonderful woman that you are. I wish I could communicate how completely I am in love with you. I wish I could help you understand what you mean to me, and how I'd be so broken without you. I wish so much that I could make it clear that I'll never hurt you or leave you. That I'll be your rock and your anchor in this crazy world that swirls around us, threatening to break us apart. I wish there were words strong enough to say what I mean, but they just don't exist. So after so many attempts to tell you how I feel, I have to resort to the worn-out, but still not-used-enough words that we've been longing to say and hear in return since we were children. I love you. I love you, Yain. I love you.

Happy birthday, Honey. Here's to many more. No matter what else happens in between now and your 23rd, always remember that your Kite loves you. Always.
