Happy Second Anniversary to my Wonderful Wife

It's been 2 years now of blissful marriage now and we are on the verge of starting a new chapter in our lives, one that we are very much looking forward to. We just returned from a great trip to Montreal and got that most important thing out of the way. It was a nice, and for the most part, relaxing week.

Now we have some things to do in the next few months to get ready for our next big journey. I know you are looking forward to moving to Calgary, and so am I. But mostly because I know you will be happier there. And if you are happy.. I am too.

It's going to be different that's for sure. We are used to the slow pace here in Sweet Grass. We enjoy our nice leisurely walks and the fact that we can run a tab at the local watering hole and pay it pretty much whenever we want to.
There's no traffic and no crime, but if we pick the right location in Calgary, we shouldn't have much to worry about anyway except for the traffic.

I know you get irritated with me sometimes especially where Cosmo is concerned... Like today for example. You bite your tongue and take him to the kennel because you know I will feel better knowing that someone is looking after him while we are both gone. I appreciate everything you do from the small and not so small things to show me that you care.

I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that the time I have spent with you has been the best part of my life. Even though we get on each others nerves at times and snap at each other, we have never gotten into a real argument. We just agree to disagree about certain things and leave it at that, but mostly I think we are on the same page, and both want the same things in life. Compared to some of the things I have been through before, it's a small slice of heaven.
I am glad we found each other and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. I never really knew what it was like to have a soulmate up until now. And you are that to me.

All I ask is that you respect me, love me, and take care of our home and kids. I will return what you give me ten times over and give you the best life I possibly can, and try not to stink up the bathroom before you use it.

Happy Anniversary!

Russ

Hang in there

I know I said this before but it's worth repeating I think. I tend to lose my temper over little things and I know that really bothers you. You know that it has nothing to do with you, even though it is directed at you sometimes. It's just a combination of the winter blues and not being able to get out of here and go somewhere that we want to be. I feel like I have let you down in some ways.

It's very important to me to be able to give you the kind of life you want. I want you to be able to join a gym, make new (female) friends and be able to do things that you want to do when you want to without having to drive an hour to do it. I want us to get back to civilization again because being here is not good for us. And I don't want you to leave because you are my life now and I couldn't imagine being without you. So if you could just hang in there, I know something good will happen for us. Besides, it won't be long that we will be able to enjoy some outdoor activities again and that will be really good for both of us.

I am going to work harder every day on the little things that matter. And try not to let the little annoyances annoy me so much. In other words, not be an asshole at times.
I know I said this before too, but all in all I think we are doing ok, we just need that change of scenery to make it closer to perfect.

I love you!
Russ
