Hey Love,

This is just a quick note to say how proud of you I am. You have been working so hard these past few months, its inspiring to watch your determination.
I am so excited for you, you are going to be one kick-ass high school teacher, or whatever it is you end up deciding. In many ways you remind me of my favorite high school teacher, who was always there rooting for the underdog and lit up any room with his smile and energy. That's going to be you. Inspiring kids all over, and nearly getting yourself and everyone else kicked out due to all of the colorful words and language you bring in. Ha, but that is why they will love you, because you are so real, truly genuine.
You know how to make anyone and everyone feel special. You can put a whole group of people at ease with your humor and laughter. God, do I love watching you make everyone laugh.
I am so grateful we met. I have been looking for someone with your soul my whole life. You are caring, compassionate, and so understanding of the world around you. You connect so deeply and value doing whats right, paying attention to others needs. Everyone around you has so much respect for you because you work so hard and accept people in all walks of life. I admire your intelligence and love our deep conversations. Yet, despite all of these incredible attributes, you love and accept others where they are at, never demeaning. Do you know how difficult it is to find people like you? I feel so lucky.
You are FUCKIN' STEVE KENNEDY, out to conquer the world, watch out Santa Cruz.
Walking down the street together makes me laugh sometimes. I imagine it could be a bit of a funny sight, as I feel like a frickin' skye scraper walking next to Joe Cool. But, I love holding your hand. During these past few months, I feel like I have learned and grown so much. I appreciate so much how we can work together as a team through our differences. *SIGH* I guess, I'm NOT always right (but, does the world still revolve around me? ;) I love and care about you so much, and am so grateful we met.

Love,

Your Sweet Tall Thing

P.S. I am writing this to you in a nearly-unreal tree...I would suggest we make our get-a-way tree house in it, but i think the ants might eat us alive...NOOOOOOOOOOO, bummer goober! I'll have to share it with you sometime :) Anywho, Ta Ta for now muchacho, Te amo
