Michelle Perkett Love Letter Blog Hop

The blog hops that we have at Michelle Perkett's Studio are always so inspiring! I am sure that this hop will be no different. You should have arrived here from the lovely Maria's blog. If you just stumbled here, you may want to go back to the beginning, Michelle Perkett's blog, so that you don't miss any of the wonderful creations. After my blog, you will want to fly over to Melissa's fantastic blog, and see what lovely creations she has in store for you.

My love letter is for my husband. We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary, and it has been so wonderful! We were friends way back in high school, but we each went our separate ways and each unfortunately found our own share of sorrow and heartbreak. After over 20 years, we contacted each other through Facebook, and the love story began. I have never been able to share my heart with someone the way I can with Richard. We were truly meant for each other and feel so blessed by God with this love.
