Winter Blues

Hey Babe,

I think the winter blues have set in. We know that summer is over and all the fun things we enjoy doing together are "summer things", so what does that leave us for the next 6 months?

Well, we have that trip to Texas coming up in November. Even though it's only a week it will be good for both of us to get away and gorge on Mexican food. After that, I have a few other ideas...

I know that I have been a little out of it lately, I think a lot of it is the frustration of not getting the jobs I want, and of course the change in the seasons. I can understand now why so many people up here are on anti-depressants, or are alcoholics. That's not going to happen to me.

You know what? Marriage is a tough damn road. No question about it. No matter how much two people love each other, they can still annoy the hell out of each other. But I will take those occasional annoyances over being without you any day.

In the meantime let's forget about what isn't that important, and get back to that happy place. I'll make a deal with you, if you stop putting the rat poison in my food, then you only have to give me 49% of your winnings 97% of the time.

Yes, you still complete me.

Love,
Your Husband

1 Year Down, Eternity to Go

My Dearest Sherilyn,

You weren't quite sure what you were getting into, and neither was I. That’s what I love about you. You don’t know what you’re doing half the time, you just do it. You are the only source of excitement in my life. I am continually amazed at all the things you can blame me for, or forget.. And how much I love being around you.

You and I were made for each other.

You are fun and exciting. I am boring.

You are beautiful. I am missing three of my molars.

You are friendly. I am grouchy.

You are a social butterfly. I am socially challenged.

Where I am weak, you have strength.

I love you because you are the half of me I had been missing for so very long.

One year ago, our strengths played into each other. I, being the determined, decisive, smart guy that I was, knew exactly what I wanted and went after it.
You, being the impulsive, indecisive and beautiful woman that you are, just went for it.

And it’s been like that ever since.

This last year has been the best of my life.

I love you.

Russ
