April 23rd
It was my birthday. Ed was wrapping up the first leg of his album release tour. He'd be home tomorrow for about 2 weeks then he was touring again for 7 months straight. I haven't seen him since his birthday. I missed him more than I've ever missed anything in my entire life. I've spent the whole time he's been touring alone in our house, wrapped up in his flannels and bed sheets, watching Fresh Prince. Which is nice but it'd be much better with him by my side. I've also been working like crazy, trying to keep myself busy. I was really dreading today. I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. It was face time.
"Good morning baby! Happy birthday!"
"Thanks, love."
"What are you doing today? Having any fun?"
"No, I'm working then coming back home and going to bed."
"Kelsey Jade. You have to do something."
"No, I don't. I don't want to do anything because I don't have anyone I care to do anything with. So I will stay home."
"Kels."
"What?"
"I love you."
"I love you too. I'm going to be late for work."
"Okay babe. I'll talk to you later. Have a good day."
"Yeah. Talk to you later."
I was miserable because In all honesty, all I wanted to do was spend my birthday with Ed. As I was slipping on my dress the doorbell rang. I went downstairs to be greeted with several packages at the doorstep. The note on top was in Ed's hand writing and said:
Kelsey,
I know that I'm not there right now but I still wanted to make your day special. Thank you for loving and supporting me. Thank you for standing by my side. I know this isn't any easy relationship to be in since I'm always gone but I am so grateful that you are who I am in this with. I wouldn't change it for anything else in the entire world. I hope you know that you are the most beautiful woman in the entire world inside and out. I feel so incredibly blessed every single day knowing you are mine. Thank you for making me the happiest man in the world. I love you more than every single mile between us and I can't wait to hold and kiss you. I hope you like all of your gifts. Happy birthday, baby. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I love you with all my heart x

He bought me little thoughtful gives like some of my favorite make up products, souvenirs from places he's been, some perfume, some roses, clothes, a purse, some of my favorite American snacks and candies and a couple movies. I called him and thanked him. Even from half way across the world he could make me smile. That is something I wish everyone could experience. I am so in love with this boy. I truly don't know how I got so lucky. Now, I was really late for work. I rushed out the door and hurried to the studio. When I got there it was filled with balloons and I had more roses from Ed waiting on my desk. He was too much. I sent him a text to let him know I got them and tell him I love him. The day seemed to take forever. I just wanted to go home and go to bed. I was finally able to leave at 6. At 6:30 the doorbell rang again. My favorite meal and dessert from my favorite restaurant was being delivered to the door with a bottle of champagne. At 6:35 I got a Face time call from Ed. He was so excited that all his surprises worked out. He told me to go watch a movie and relax and he'd talk to me in the morning so I did.
I was about to go to bed at 11 P.M. when the doorbell rang again. I tried to ignore it but it kept ringing. After the third time I got up to get it. When I opened the door, there stood Ed with a dozen roses. I automatically started crying. "Surprise, baby! I'm home," he said, taking me into his arms. "I thought the tour didn't end until tomorrow?" I asked. "Nah, it ended yesterday. Today was just traveling home," he explained with a smile. He kissed me. "You are seriously the best," I said kissing him back. He smiled, "Can I join your party?" I let him in and we sat at the breakfast bar and talked for a while. I was so glad he was home. This was a perfect end to my birthday. I missed him so much. Nothing was better than being able to fall asleep in his arms that night.
