Shannon Storms Beador is feeling "beyond blessed" after her boyfriend, John Janssen, left her the sweetest love note. The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member told her Instagram followers all about it, and we can't help but swoon upon reading his sweet words for her.

The note is lengthy and loving and emotional — no, we're not crying, you're crying.

"9 months ago our journey began. The timing was bad and made no sense to either of us or to any of our friends and family," the notes reads.

John wrote, "I have never in my life spent so much concentrated time with anyone. I never tire of you, but rather thrive in your company. Our connection and chemistry are what people dream about. You are my person; the one I was meant to be with, the one that makes me feel whole."

Woke up to this note. #bestgiftever #blessedbeyond❤️ Shannon, 9 months ago our journey began. The timing was bad and made no sense to either of us or to any of our friends and family. I was not in the right frame of mind to meet anyone and was just trying to get my balance. You were not looking for a relationship, but rather were just spending time and having fun with friends after an emotional two years of ending your marriage. But once we were introduced something inside me knew that I had to talk to you. We started with encouraging texts that warmed my heart and then phone calls for hours that flowed so effortlessly and then came the group date. I took you and a friend of ours out to dinner. The night ended with you and I singing karaoke duets at the Elks club and then talking one on one until the Elks staff told us they needed to lock up. Since that night you and I have been inseparable, literally. I have never in my life spent so much concentrated time with anyone. I never tire of you, but rather thrive in your company. Our connection and chemistry are what people dream about. You are my person; the one I was meant to be with, the one that makes me feel whole. I started falling in love with you almost immediately and my love has grown ever stronger as our time together has flown by. I find myself thinking and wondering at times if this is real, how did I get so blessed? Then I look into your beautiful eyes and know it IS real and it is how our world should be. You are such an amazing woman and you surprise me every day. I have never believed that a woman could be so loving, generous, intelligent, creative, determined, funny, fun loving, hardworking, successful, down to earth, nurturing, protective, loyal, encouraging and have my back no matter what. Then I met you; you are all of that and more. You are my best friend and the woman I can not live without. Happy birthday!!!! I love you with all of my heart and soul. You are my forever and ever amen. Love, John
