Conversations I've Saved

Dear Prince Charming,

Hopefully by now, you are aware of the fact that I am somewhat of a pack rat. Especially of things that have sentimental value to me. Some of our conversations are the same way, when we've texted.

Unfortunately, my phone memory is borderline full, and I guess it'd be smarter to save these conversations this way in case I ever lose said phone...


July 9, 2011
Me: So, apparently I must be really amazing or something, because I just had another person try to set me up with one of their relatives... Again.
You: Too bad for the relative. You are already taken. And I don't want to share.
Me: I figured as much. I told him that I was sorry, I'm sure his brother is amazing, but that I already had a boyfriend.
You: And now you look even better. I'm glad I got there first.
Me: Hahaha! :) so am I. If any of the other guys were as diligent about asking me on dates, who knows what would have happened :)
You: I would have missed out on the most amazing girl. That's probably what would have happened.
Me: Call me biased, but when I met you there were at least 4 other guys that had expressed interest around that time, and I was hoping for a date from you.
You: That's 'cause I have one thing going for me. I can dance.
Me: You have more than that going for you, but it did give you the advantage of the best first impression :)
You: See. It's all about the moves. Or perhaps the falsetto.
Me: Hahaha! :) I don't recall hearing you sing falsetto that night. I just remember thinking you were really cute, fun, & I loved dancing ballroom with you. Which, I was right on all three. Except I would be more likely to call you handsome than cute now.
You: Fair enough. I thought you were cute, willing to try and confident. That makes a huge difference.
Me: Worst case scenario for you though, you had a missionary coming home soon. I'd have gotten the shorter stick on that deal.
You: No. Worst case is I never met you.
But that didn't happen, and I'm glad.
Me: This is true :) It didn't. And I'm also very glad, because I love you and it's difficult to imagine what life would be like without you in it now that you are.
You: I love you too. And I am glad that we were both at our best that night. Things do work for our advantage.



July 27, 2011
Me: I really don't mind that it's taking you time to decide. I'm grateful that the decision is important to you and that you're taking your time to make sure God has a part in your decisions and our relationship. And I will never give up on you because I will always love you. :* goodnight <3



September 7, 2011
Me: I made it home safely. Turns out it's good we took the back roads. A large portion of State Street was closed off from an accident that happened. With how it was closed off and the large number of police and firetrucks etc, I think someone may have died.
You: I'm glad it wasn't you!
Me: Me too. I'm glad Heavenly Father has more in store for me and watches over me. I don't know what I'd do if it had been me.
You: Well, you would have a different perspective if it had been you. I don't know what I would have done...
Me: Well, I can't imagine it being easy for me to watch all of my loved ones' pain and know I can do nothing to comfort them and let them know I'm alright. And I honestly have no idea what you'd do. After a while though you'd have to let go and move forward with your life and date again.
You: Yeah... eventually...
Me: I have no clue how long that'd take though. Especially since you don't let go of relationships very easily and already have depression. That'd be hard for me.
You: Yeah. lets just plan on not doing that then.
Me: I'm not exactly suicidal; I'm definitely planning on living for a long time still. I'm not done here yet. But I agree. Don't plan on dying any time soon, ok?
You: Agreed. goodnight!



September 8, 2011
Me: Awesome. I'm getting plenty of "don't get married yet" advice.
You: I'm sorry you have to keep hearing why you shouldn't get married. If it makes you feel any better, I think you should.
Me: Because your input is completely impartial and you neither gain nor lose anything either way, right? ;)
You: Correct. :*
Me: Well then. What are your "impartial" reasons that I should get married? Since you lose nothing if I don't and gain nothing if I do? ;)
I'll be impressed if you actually can come up with legitimate, actual impartial, reasons. Throwing it out there.
You: You have found someone whom you feel you can be happy with for eternity. God has agreed with you. You are still under the command to multiply and replenish the earth. Marriage is the closest you can come to heaven on earth. You can only progress so far without marriage. It will allow you to partake of the blessings of the temple sooner and be endowed with power. It will help with taxes. You are in love. You are happiest when with your significant other. You don't want to imagine life single again.You believe it is the right thing to do.
Me: Fair enough - you win :* even though I'm not completely sold on your impartiality ;)



September 9, 2011
Me: That's good. In that case, I'm hoping you don't have any plans, because I'm thinking I'd like to spend eternity with you. I hope you don't mind. ;*
You: I think I can fit that in. ;)
Me: Oh good :) Because I was looking at my schedule & saw I could definitely fit you in for all eternity. Glad we could make our schedules work. ;)



October 6, 2011
Me: You drove to your house with everything still adjusted to me, didn't you?
You: Yes.
Me: What am I going to do with you? :)
You: Lock me in a closet under the stairs?
Me: But you're already a wizard, remember? ;) I'm leaning towards thinking I may just have to marry you. For purely selfish reasons, of course. I can't have you thinking I'm rewarding you for such heinous crimes as going out of your way to be thoughtful.
You: That was my second guess... just to save other girls from having to deal with me of course. You wouldn't want to trouble them...
Me: I just don't think that I could trust any other girl with taking care of you. When you want to get anything done right, you have to do it yourself. I mean, we wouldn't want you being a menace to society, now would we?
You: It's true, you really have no other option. You're stuck with me.
Me: Although, now that I think about it, I have very little expertise in this field. Are you sure you would want me to be the one "dealing" with you?
You: I believe in hands on learning.
Me: Haha :) fair enough. Also, I should probably make a confession...
You: Oh?
Me: I know this will be hard to believe, but while I am magical, I have never made a love potion before. You're not actually under a spell.
You: What! Inconceivable! Maybe I made one for myself?
Me: Why on earth would you do something so ridiculous as creat a love potion to fall in love with some random girl you barely knew when you were already in love??
You: It seemed like a good idea at the time... Now it seems like the best idea I've ever had.
Me: Sounds like a side effect from the potion you made yourself ;) what makes  you so certain it was a magic love potion?
You: The only other option is that I really love you.
Me: I think I like that option better... :*



October 8, 2011
Me: Dear Prince Charming,
I have a question. If I didn't use a love potion, and you used one on yourself, did you also give one to me?
Love,
Your Princess
You: Dear Princess,
I don't remember making one for myself. I'm thinking potions weren't involved. We did it all on our own.
Love,
Prince Charming
Me: Dear Prince Charming,
Ok. So you didn't make one for yourself. Are you sure you didn't use a love potion on me though? Because, honestly, when I'm with you and you're holding me, it's the most magical feeling I have ever known.
Love,
your princess
You: Dear Princess,
I don't know how to make love potions. I skipped that class. I do, however, agree that holding you is the best feeling ever.
Love,
Your Prince
Me: Dear Prince Charming,
Well if it's not a love potion, it must be true love and who are we to fight something so wonderful? Now we'll HAVE to get married ;)
Love,
Your Princess
Goodnight, love :) I'm struggling to stay awake, so I'll see you in the morning. :* sleep well.
You: Good thing I got you a ring then. Good night love, I'll see you in the morning.



October 24, 2011
Me: So I just went and donated blood... and almost passed out twice. Hopefully I'll be fine now.
You: Are you doing okay still? And did you make it to work?
Next question... Where did you put my bike?
Me: I believe it's in the garage. And I'm at work.
You: Okay. Thanks.
Me: Oh. Crap. I fail. I'm so sorry, Andrew. I just called James and he's bringing your bike to work for you.
And the off day continues... :P
James is going to let you know where your bike is at. Love you!
You: Thanks. I was just going to walk to your place. Thank you though. I love you!



October 25, 2011
Me: I'm off now. We were making the bank deposit. Finally heading home.
You: That's good. Still alive too?
Me: Nope. I died. Sorry for the bad news.
You: What? When is the funeral?
Me: My funeral will take place November 2nd. My friend Danny already wrote my eulogy, but you may want to consider re-writing it since in his version I married him.
You: Yes, I should rewrite that...
Me: I'll have to share Danny's eulogy of me sometime. It's highly amusing. Now I just have to figure out what to do with myself until November 2nd, since I AM dead.
You: You could haunt me.
Me: Why would you want me to haunt you? Wouldn't that just make my passing harder for you?
You: I don't know. I can't really think straight at the moment. Too much grief.



November 2, 2011
Me: Thank you so much for your willingness to help out tonight, Andrew. You're absolutely incredible, you know that? I love you so very much. You are truly my everything & the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you for your work and dedication to taking me to the temple.
You: And no matter how hard I try, I'll never feel like I've done enough for you. You are worth every effort and more. I love you!
Me: Heavenly Father was right :) I have indeed chosen well. Thank you, Andrew. I love you, too. Sleep well and may angels always attend you :)
You: You as well. Goodnight my love.



November 3, 2011
You: I'm home Elizabeth. I love you! Thank you for bringing a sense of belonging back into my life. Sleep well! I'll see you in the morning.


Maybe down the road I won't understand why I saved some of these...
Oh well.

Love,
Your Princess
