My Dearest Roo,

Happy Second of the Month, baby. I love that I get to celebrate you and us on my birthday. It makes me so incredibly happy any moment I get to celebrate you and tell you how much I love you. As you know, I could ramble on about you and write novels trying to articulate how much you mean to me. Words never seem to be enough because the way you make me feel and how I feel about you is overwhelming in the best way possible and I could never seem to put that into words.

You are my everything. My end and my beginning. It’s no wonder I was so lost without you these past couple of months. When we’re apart, I feel like so much of me is missing. I don’t know how to function, I can’t sleep. But we don’t have to worry about that anymore, do we?

I couldn’t simply do just one poem this month. If these past two months have taught me anything, it’s taught me that you are my home. I always knew this, I always felt this but it just reiterated it. My home is you, my home is with you, with our babies. Moving to Australia has made me incredibly happy but I would still be the happiest woman no matter where in the world we are, so long as we’re together.

Baby, having you here with me on this Barbie tour has meant so much to me. As much as I love celebrating with Greta and the girls, you’re always the person I want to share my big moments with. I was holding in tears when I thought I had to leave you at the airport last night but then when you walked on that plane and surprised me.. It was simply the best surprise ever. I’m so lucky to share all this with you and to share it all with you on my birthday makes it even better. You’re all I’ll ever need in this life. You and our babies.

Thank you for being the best husband, the best father to our little ones, the best best friend and the biggest support system. I love you so much, Roo. I can’t wait to celebrate our other wedding anniversary at the end of the month with you. Creating all these memories with you is my favorite. I’m the luckiest woman on this earth because I get to do life with you.

I love you to the furthest moon and back. Always,

Margot

My Dearest Roo,

Happy Second of the Month, my darling. I miss you so much that I can’t even put it into words. Without you, I feel like more than half of me is missing. I swear this is why Piper is so dramatic because she sees how we act when we can't be together lol. The only time we're dramatic off set. Have I mentioned how much I miss you? Nashville simply wasn't enough and saying goodbye to you the other day was incredibly difficult. You're all I think about, all I want and all I could ever need. The way I feel when you're away from me just proves that you're such a big piece of me. They say when you become a parent, half of your heart is living outside of your body and that's so true but it's also true when it comes to loving you. My heart is thousands of miles away right now, with you.

I cannot wait to have you back home with us but I want you to know how proud I am of you. You're working your ass off as you always do, killing it with The Brutalist while training for Bucky. Everything you do makes me and our family so proud.

Thinking of all the things we'll get to do as a family of five when you come home puts the biggest smile on my face. I can't wait for family cuddles, to hear your laugh, to see your smile, to feel your touch and to simply watch you with our babies. We're going to make the best memories here at home in Australia and my heart skips a beat just thinking about it. I love you to the furthest moon and back, Roo. Always.

Love,

Margot

My Deartest Roo,

Happy second of the month, my darling love. Our first second of the month as a family of five. Can you believe it? Three babies. Three little ones. We are officially outnumbered and I couldn’t be happier.

Not only is this our first second of the month with our baby girl, it’s also the first living in Australia in our dream home. I can’t believe we’re here, living out our dream like we always said. Nothing makes me happier in this world than being at home with you, Axel, Piper and Rey. You four are my whole world and I still have to pinch myself that this is my life. My perfect life, all thanks to you giving it to me. I’m the most lucky woman in this entire universe, baby.

I had to include sunshine into my little poetry tradition this month as a nod to our baby girl. Our sunshine girl. Getting to wake up next to you and getting to witness you with our babies everyday is something I could have only dreamt of. You are perfect in every way, my love. Thank you for keeping us safe, for loving me the way you do, making me feel so loved and for being the best daddy and husband in this world. I wouldn’t have made it through last week without you and I’m so sorry for scaring you, making you think for even a second that you had to do life without me. I promise you, you never will have to do life without me because I never want to do life without you. I love you to the furthest moon and back, Roo. Always.

Love,

Margot

My Dearest Roo,

Happy Second of the Month, baby. I love looking back on each of these cards and seeing how much life has changed since each one, how many memories were made in just a month. It’s always a change for the better with you, and it fills me with so much joy knowing that life just gets impossibly better with you. I can’t believe we are finally expecting our third little one. I know we have been trying for a few months, but the feeling I get every time I think about growing our family still gives me butterflies and never fails to put a smile on my face. I can’t wait to create more memories with you, Axel, Piper and our baby boy or girl on the way. To experience pregnancy again with you, to hear you talk to my bump, to see how the kids will react to it all, to finally go on a babymoon (hint, hint 😉).. I am so excited for the months ahead. I catch myself daydreaming about our baby and seeing you with them. There’s not a more beautiful sight in this world than the sight of you with our babies. You are the best daddy in this world and doing life with you is a dream. I never want to do life without you, my darling. I love you, Roo. Thank you for giving me a life I could have only dreamt of, better than I could have ever dreamt of, and for making me a mummy again.

I love you to the furthest moon and back,

Margot

(excerpt from  “I Argued with the Stars About You”,  Asli Hersi)

My Dearest Roo,

Happy Anniversary, my darling. Two whole years of being engaged to the love of my life? I often question how time goes by so quickly but also it feels like just yesterday we were laying under those stars and the Northern Lights, pointing out Orion as you slid that beautiful ring you designed on my finger. Time is such a strange thing because while all our precious memories still feel so close, I feel like I’ve known you my whole life. It’s difficult to imagine a life before you, before our little babies. But that’s okay, because I don’t ever want to know a time without you three in it. Just as I never want to do life without you, I don’t ever want to imagine life without you.

You know recently I’ve discovered my newfound appreciate and love for poetry and I thought I needed to add something to our anniversary traditions. So, in addition to keeping up with our random card tradition every month, I’ve decided to find a poem or excerpts from poems that make me think of you, our love, our traditions, our precious memories and/or our family. This poem stuck out to me and I just knew I had to start this new tradition off with “I Argued with the Stars About You” especially on our engagement anniversary. The night sky is something that’s always been special to us: from getting engaged under the northern lights to getting married under the stars, and all our astrological dates in-between. There is never a moment where I look up to the stars and don’t think of you and our love. It’s one of our many things, thanks to you. But, as the poem states, while these stars light up the universe and leave everybody in awe, it’s nothing compared to you. You, my love, are my entire world and shine brighter than any star in the sky. No star, no constellation, no moon or planet would compete. I could ramble on about how this poem so accurately describes how I feel about you, but I won’t ruin Asli’s beautiful words with my ramblings and I’ll let it speak for itself. 

I love you to the furthest moon and back,

Margot
