Dear Annabeth,
Hey! I'm glad you appreciated all of my letters from last year. I was hoping it would make your days a lot better. I miss you so much. So much so, I've currently stopped listening to the angsty stuff I love to be melancholy (thank u thesaurus). So yeah. I've found some good people that reflect my mellow mood like The Lone Bellow and Johhnyswim. You should check them out sometime. I think you'd like them. Anyways I'm glad you were able to be so successful last year with all that smart person stuff you did. You're right though, college does take a lot of time and make you super busy. We hardly get to talk on the phone and it makes me really sad. But lets not talk about sad things. Lets talk about happy things. Our Anniversary is coming up! November 15th(the new anniversary since you know. I was a really bad boyfriend the first time around. It took you breaking up with me to get my shit together, but I can proudly say my shit is much more organized). Anyyywayyys topic of todays letter: our future.
Future. I really don't have many passions. All I can think of right now are my moms cookies, Fortnite, and well…you. I don't really plan on becoming a streamer or a professional cookie eater soooo that leaves me with you. Because don't the smart people all say that you chase your dreams and your passions? Speaking of dreams I had this really interesting one last night about you and me and a beach house and my dress shirt and… yeah. I promise I don't always dream of you in so little clothes, but can you blame me? You're hot 😉 My favorite thing to think about when I miss you is that fact that college is only like four years and one day I'll be able to spend the rest of my life with you. Which is like idk 60 years? But yeah. I'm so So sO excited to wake up next to you every single freaking day (sometimes scantily clad *thesaurus*). Sorry again. But I'm and 18 year old boy who has not kissed his girlfriend in like 2 weeks. So my thoughts wander… sue me. I like to think of our Children. (I still say that Maximus is a badass name. You watched gladiator right? "my name is maximus decimus aurilius command of the armies of the north. Husband to a murdered wife. Father to murdered kids. I will have my revenge in this life or the next!) Besides just the names though (Max for short?), I like to imagine how they will be a combination of us. Something so completely you, but also unmistakably me. Perfect. That's what that sounds like to me. Honestly I want to have a girl first. Yeah yeah yeah. Laugh it up. But I want a daughter. My baby girl. She'll be so beautiful. She'll have your hair and my eyes and your nose and my cheekbones and your chin. She'll be my baby. I can't wait to scare off all of her potential suitors. I can't wait to hear her call me daddy and hug me close. I can't wait to comfort her when she falls and scrapes her knee. I could wait a little longer to bust some ass when she gets hurt by a stupid boy. I want her. Maybe we could name her Denver. That's a pretty name. Denver Marie Jackson. I can see her now. Next we'll have a boy of course. He'll be smart like you and strong like me. We'll go to all the games you don't want to together. We'll be the best of friends. He'll come to me when he needs advice with girls, and I'll tell him its God's providence that any man should be able to find a woman who'll love him. Nah. JK. I'll teach him all of my tricks that I used to get you. Because lets be honest. I in no way deserve to be friends with you let alone your husband (*sigh* one day *dreamy smile*). I'll give him piggy back rides and teach him how to ride horses and kick a soccer ball and throw a baseball. When he grows up a little bit he'll grow to be super protective of his older sister Denver. He'll probably end up looking up to her boyfriends (that I have vetted first). Oh my gosh I am so so so ready to have kids with you. Lets do it😉 We'd have as many more kids that you wanted, or that you know, kinda just happen.
Our family. The Jacksons. We'd set the example for the friends of our kids on what a family is supposed to look like. Big, messed up, loyal, unified, and loving unconditionally. They'll come over and see how gross and affection you and I will be. They'll see how much I'm involved in my kids life loving on them and disciplining them too. I can't wait to be the cool dad:D I'll tell even more corny jokes than I do now. (I just watched a documentary on beavers… it was the best dam show I've ever seen).
You being a mom. If that isn't the best thought I've had all day, then I must have come up with something truly amazing. You're going to be the best mom with all your wisdom. I swear its like I'm dating a 40 year old woman in the body of a very nice 18 year old college student. You'll be appropriately firm and affectionate. And we'll teach out kids how to properly view and treat women. I love you. I think I forget to say that sometimes, and I'm sorry that I don't say it more, but thinking about you being the mother of my children just stirs up these emotions in me. I can't explain it. I'm filled with this sense of pride just from my day dream. I can't believe how lucky I am to have landed a gal like you.
Jobs. I was going to write about our jobs but.. nahh work is gross. I'm lazy.
Sex. Now that's something I am for sure looking forward to in the future. Like it is stupid hard not trying to seduce you every time I see you( because lets be real. I'm irresistibly attractive.) I can't wait for there to be no restrictions on what we're allowed to do or think about each other. Because I feel really guilty every time I think about you in an inappropriate way:/ But the fact that I get to live with you and see you every day. I won't continue with my train of though for sake of my sanity.
Old Age. That certainly was a jump wasn't it. I kinda skipped a large portion there in the middle, but I can imagine us being a super old couple that's been dating since the seventh grade. I can imagine our grandkids calling you Momo or something cute and old, and me doc or something witty. We'll be cool and fun and we'll spoil them rotten and show up to their birthday parties with fun gifts and take them on amazing trips to historic places. We'll teach them culture and fun. We'll be an example of how God in the middle of a relationship is the best way to remain together. We'll be iconic.
Well that's enough musings for now… I'll see you soon? I bought tickets for fall break soooo :)
With much love,
Percy
P. S. Call me when you get this?
