Dear Kaylin,

I can't believe it's already been two years:)

I wish I was able to spend the day with you, but I'm so glad you have the opportunity to be in Rome! That said, I'm quite glad it's only a 3 month program;) I love you and miss you, and I can't wait to see you:)

I hope you're enjoying every minute of your time there. I love seeing the photos you've sent, so please keep it up! I'll continue to provide Plumpkin photos whenever the opportunity arises.

Hopefully we can call, but just in case, I wanted to tell you a few things that I love about you:

Your smile is so warm:)

If a little silly sometimes;)

Your smile is contagious, and I always have so much fun spending time with you:D

You have good taste in family;)

The ones you didn't pick...

and the ones you did:)

I've had a lot of fun making breakfast & playing board & Wii games with Ethan and Krystin. Looking forward to doing those things with you again:)

I also probably won't see the rest of your friends as much while you're gone, but we'll have to plan some things with them when you're back!

Even the animals love you:D

I'm sure I have many more photos I could add to this row if I search some more!

You are studious to a fault!

I admire how much work you put into what you do. More than that, you have an eye & talent for it:) I may be a bit biased but even accounting for that, I still believe you do some of the best work I've seen in the studio:)

You are beautiful inside and out:)

(that last one's one of my favorite photos of you:)

Even if—no, because—you are a bit silly <3

I am so lucky to be your boyfriend,

and to get to go on all the adventures with you!

Enjoy the time you have in Rome! Try lots of new things, explore all the fancy architecture, eat all the foods that I wouldn't like;p , sketch all the sketches (but don't be sketchy), and try not to miss me too much;) (though a bit would be nice <3)

Praying that you have all the fun and stay all the safe, and that you get better soon from whatever it is you caught.

I love you very much💚

I'm looking forward to (hopefully many;) more adventures with you when you return:)

With Love & Appreciation,
Seth:)
