Our Story So Far...

â¤ī¸

We've already shared so many little moments together.

đŸ’Ē

We've been learning how to take better care of ourselves.

đŸī¸

And we keep moving forward on this journey, side by side.

You already know what today's gift is.

☔

It's the raincoat.

But do you know why I chose it?

Page 4: The Meaning

I know a raincoat isn't the biggest gift.

It won't stop the rain.

It won't make every ride easy.

And it can't protect you from everything.

But whenever you're riding through the rain...

I want you to have one less thing to worry about.

Because I care about you.

Remember these? The pink dumbbell and kettlebell.

Those were about becoming stronger. Physically, mentally, and better at taking care of ourselves.

Previous gifts:
"Let's become stronger."


Today's gift:
"Let me help keep you safe."

Maybe both are really saying the same thing...

"I care about you."

And then we watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day today.

Maybe that's why the title stayed in my head.

A new day doesn't mean starting everything over.

It means we get another chance. Another chance to take care of ourselves, laugh together, support each other, make mistakes, recover, and keep moving forward.

Just like every new day gives us another chance...

every month with you gives me another chapter of our story.

HAPPY 16TH MONTHSARY

1 year and 4 months. We've already shared so many little moments, and somehow, I'm still excited about all the moments we haven't experienced yet.

Remembering all those times we got caught riding together in the heavy rain...feeling the cold wind and rain pouring down...it made me realize just how much I want to keep you safe and dry. Every rainy ride we've braved together made me realize how much you deserve to be protected out on the road.

The dumbbell and kettlebell were a reminder that I want us to become stronger together.

And this raincoat is my little reminder that, wherever the road takes you, I want you to be safe.

I know I can't protect you from every storm. But I hope you always know you don't have to face them alone.

If the road gets difficult, I'll be here. If you get tired, I'll be here.

And when a brand new day comes... I hope I'm still right there beside you.

Here's to our next chapter. â¤ī¸

TO BE CONTINUED...

Our next brand new day starts tomorrow.

Secret P.S.

Wait... there's one more thing.

I know this whole thing got pretty emotional...

But let's be honest.

If we actually start using those dumbbells and kettlebells again, we're probably going to complain about our muscles hurting tomorrow. 😂

At least we'll suffer together. â¤ī¸
