A little over a week ago I was in Bangkok. Our squad coaches were there, excited to see us, show us some love, and spend time with us to debrief the first couple months of our trip. A few weeks before then I asked my girlfriend to order me some more essential oils so that she could mail them to our coaches and they could bring them to me. I was running out of some of my desperately needed oils, so this plan worked out amazingly! I got to Bangkok and was greeted with a handful of oils, which is what I expected, but then Mike began to hand me more and more packages. He handed me four or five different packages, including a bag full of handwritten letters. Now, never in my life have I really cared about gifts. I’ve never cared about that kind of stuff, it really isn’t my love language and never really has been. But at this moment, I was in shock, I felt so loved, so cared about, for the first time, receiving a gift actually mattered to me.

My biggest love languages are quality time and touch. My girlfriend on the other hand really, really loves to give (and receive) gifts. And even though I don’t typically care about gifts at all, this meant the world to me. This girl wanted to make me feel loved, and she did. I am beyond thankful for who Hannah has been to me over the last year+ and over these past couple of months that I have been on the race.

I have had a crush on this girl since my first day of 8th grade when I saw her on the school bus. How did I end up dating the girl that I had a crush on when I was 14? Regardless of how it happened, I consider myself to be the luckiest guy on Earth. Hannah is a queen and she loves me in the best ways. She has continually chosen to honor and support me in this season. With us not physically being together, we have had to find new ways to love each other and she has done a tremendous job at doing so. Every morning I wake up and get excited to open a bag that I have full of envelops with the date of each day on them, inside is a hand written letter, usually talking about something she loves about me, a memory, or something she has on her mind. Every time that I get the opportunity to read them, I think of how much time and thought and care went into each letter that she wrote. She knows how to love and has pushed herself to be uncomfortable to show that she loves me each and every day. This is something that I never imagined that I could have in a relationship. She is the girl of my dreams and to be honest, I really just wanted to write a blog about her because I love her so much and the world deserves to know about it. Honestly, I know the world would be a way better place if it were filled with more people like Hannah. She has encouraged me to be a better person, she has encouraged me get closer to God, and has been an incredible example to me of what a Godly woman is and has continually made me feel incredibly loved every single day. I love this girl to death and cannot explain how thankful I am for this girl, she is my queen and I adore her. She is incredible, she is beautiful, she is smart, confident, and just all around amazing. If you don’t have a Hannah in your life, get yourself a Hannah, but not my Hannah, thanks..

I LOVE HER!

Thank you for reading this different blog. I have been missing this girl a lot recently and wanted to dedicate a blog to her because she is the best ever. Once some donations finish processing, I will be a bit over $13,000 raised! That is incredible! Thank you so much to those who have supported me financially throughout this journey! I only need about $5,000 more to be fully funded! That’s wild! I would love your support on this journey! 

Much love!
