Red,​
Happy Valentine’s Day to my favorite girl. Thank you for being the best mom to Finn and the love of my life. You work harder than anyone I know to take care of your boys. Today we spoil you, the lady who slept on a couch so her son could have a bed. Grace, you are my dream come true and I couldn’t be luckier than to share my life with you.
I love you, Red.Dean

Elizabeth,

Happy Valentine’s Day to my wife! This is the first of many we will celebrate together as husband and wife. This past year has been the absolute best year of my life. I wanted to think of a different way to tell you how much I adore you, so I wrote a list of the little things about you that make me love you more each and every day.

1. That you insist on making my coffee each morning—and it’s always perfect.
2. How you talk out loud to rude drivers. When the kids are around you only scold them as if they could hear you, but when it’s just you and me in the car . . . you are . . . colorful in your displeasure.
3. The way your face looks when you drink champagne.
4. The feeling of your legs tangled with mine as we fall asleep at night.
5. That you always end up stealing all the covers.
6. How you have embraced riding horses, just because you know it brings me joy.
7. Your devotion to our boys. The fierceness of love and loyalty to all of the males in your life still rocks me to my core.
8. Your ability to let me also love your sons. To call them mine. To allow them to call me Dad.
9. When we are watching a movie, or sitting together quietly, and your fingers link with mine . . . words aren’t needed and I know you are telling me you are happy.
10. That you chose me. Trusted me. Love me like you do.

Thank you for being the beauty in my life and all the inspiration I could ever have hoped for.

I love you with all of me,
Reyn

Hey Baby,

This is the last Valentine’s Day before we are husband and wife. I can’t wait to make you mine and for the world to know it. But then again, I know that when it comes to you, the wait is always worthwhile.Sometimes it’s hard for me to express myself, but please know how deep my love for you runs. Just the thought of you makes me weak in the knees, but hard…where it counts.Your love has molded me into the man I am today. You are my one.You give all of yourself to those you love and ask for nothing in return. I’m asking you to let me give you everything. Let me take care of you tonight and for the rest of our lives.I know you trust me, so in the box you will find a blindfold. Put it on and let go, baby. Tonight is all about making you feel good. And I promise you, it will be a night you never forget.

I love you,
Landon
