Babe,
Thanks for warning me about that package. I dropped it as soon as I opened it. You're really eager to kick up the kink factor in the bed room. But, hey! I'm game to play. I already mentioned it to both grandparents. They said Masen is welcomed anytime. So with that out of the way, YES! YES! I want to try when you get back. Was it James that got the news? I saw Victoria and she was absolutely glowing. I can't wait till that's us again. I think my favorite part about the whole pregnancy was watching the tummy expand knowing it was US growing in there, and feeling the kicks was such an awesome feeling. I will never forget when we first felt Masen kick. Laying in bed after watching TV and eating ice cream ( one of the many cravings that was had) when he decided tolet his presence be known. I knew I had tears, but seeing them in your eyes was something I will NEVER forget. The only thing that tops that was Masen's birth. I will write more later on; I have to get Masen up and ready for his day.
Okay, I'm back. Sorry I was taking my "me time" this morning before it was time to wake him up. I miss you being here so much. I never knew how hard it is to be a single parent. I know having the parents and the friends helps, but it's different when you have your spouse, your partner to help. I LOVE YOU, for being a great parent, an awesome spouse, and a KICKASS soldier.
These last 8 years with you has been some of the best years of my life. It's hard to believe we have known each other for about 16 years now, and we only really got to know each other after we both graduated high school. I knew it when you kept asking about me, and kept finding out my information so you could catch up that there was going to be something more to it.
I remember Rose and Alice used to tell me all the time how much you cared and that you wanted more than a fling. Jasper and Em were just as bad. They were always trying to get us together and apparently it wasn't in our cards at that moment in time. I think back and wonder what if, but then I look at where we are now and I wouldn't change it for anything. We pulled out our old yearbooks the other day. I have to say that you've gotten sexier over the years. I'm glad I get to call you mine. I don't know if you recall what you wrote in the book to me, but when I re read those words that meant nothing back then, I realize how much they actually meant, still do. " To love someone, is to know that person inside and out. I have the pleasure of knowing you as the person on the outside, maybe one day I can get to know the inside of who you are."
Knowing that you felt there was something there but never acted upon it just seals the deal that you were the one meant for me.
Enough of the mushy stuff. How's everything going over there? I saw on the news we've had a few casualties, but nothing compared to what we've had in the past. Is it true we're close to being done over there? I know you probably won't be able to answer that, I'm just curious. Three months down nine more to go.
Masen has a calendar and each day he marks of the day and says your one day closer. I like that each day down means, one less day you're gone. We miss you so much. But I need to end this here. I need to head to the grocery store and get the errands done while he's at school. We love you and look forward to hearing from you soon.
XoXoXo
