For Cal.

I am in fact from the deep South and I reside their now(not sayin' where exactly) but this was inspired by my relatives ranch. God, I love it there, most of all Cal.

I love sweet tea, bareback ridin', and permanent farmer's tans

I love boys who get tractors to drive for their "Sweet 16"

And girls who get their momma's secret potato salad recipe

I love how you call everyone by their first name

'Cept your momma and daddy otherwise you'd get a whoopin'

I love houses built to watch the sunset

And rockin' on your porch while you watch the litle ones catch fireflies

I love deep South accents and using the words ain't & ya'll

And people who try to correct you

I love Sunday morning gospel in a one room churchhouse

And Sunday afternoon roughhousing with your cousins on the lawn

 I love the hard-working country boys that were born into it

And the city boys still trying to learn our way of life

I love pretty sundresses to wear on warm, summer days

While you eat your homemade lunch outside at high noon

And wearing your Gavin's old cover-alls to go frog-catchin' in the creek

I love newborn creatures and feeding the orphaned calves

And watching as they grow bigger each day

I love my extremely crazy family of amazing cooks

I love my tractor-ridin', bronc-wranglin', bull-ridin' country boy

And the warm August nights spent naming stars

While we layed on your grandma's hand-made quilt in the dewy grass

Most of all, I love the time we shared together each summer

And that you love me back...

 

 

 

 

 

**I love you, Cal. More than you know. **

**Here's to Nevaeh&Aidenn, our future stars...**

 

 

 

Author's Note

The note at the very end of the page was written for my sweetie, Cal. It's something special to us and hard to explain, so you don't have to bother with trying to make sense of that. Haha.
