Mateo-I love you. Lu decided that we should go to a party for New Year's Eve and we got dressed in party dresses and went to the Crowne Plaza and it was a great time. We also got many contacts because the event was billed as being for urban professionals.
There were multiple rooms and different kinds of music. Lu had a ball and I barely got her home in one piece. It seems there were a couple of gentlemen who thought Lu wanted to give them a dance on their 'magic stick' and they wanted her to go with them.
She pulled a Gram and groped both of them and said 'please, more like magic twig' and fell out laughing. She kept telling people that they were small and that got their actual dates angry. Lu said they should be mad at having men that cannot satisfy them. Curse words, put downs and hair pulling ensued. Lu drank a lot and she will be paying for it in the morning, well, later this morning. I will take care of her. Happy New Year. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-We are being trained by these retired army guys that we met at the New Year's Party and we are learning to pick locks. You know that gave Lu the bright idea that we should practice on different places. She would knock on people's door and ask if she could practice picking their locks and 1 out of 3 people told her to go for it. Of course she came with gift cards to the Waffle House, but still.
You should see where this is going by now, love. If the people were not home, she would try to do it and leave the gift cards. I was the lookout. Well, it turns out that this one man, Gerald Hanes was at home, but was ignoring the door because he hates sales people and when Lu opened his door, he was shall we say, getting his porn on.
We stood there looking at him and he looked at us, then we all looked at his big screen television that was showing some particularly racy scenes. Lu explained about our class and the guy was cool. We gave him the gift card and left even though he offered us a drink.
He had not tried to cover himself once during that whole conversation. Lu said he was proud of his size. Whatever. No, I will not tell you his size. I will say that I don't understand why he only had porn for company. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-Lu says unless something drastic happens, I should send you an email every other week, or two a month. She said no one wants to read about every little thing and if I told you all of my news now, we would have nothing to talk about later. I hate her for being right. I miss you, and I do have a mind of my own. Lu takes my advice, too.
Just the other day, she decided to finally stop dying her hair. Now she will let it remain her different shades of reddish auburn and brown. I agreed that she should get micro braids for the rest of the winter and then unveil her new hair style when the weather breaks. We are still doing our training and we run every day.
Gram called and said that Dickie was now getting married to some girl he went to college with. Gram said my mother offered the dresses to Dickie's mother from my cancelled wedding and the woman took them. That is crazy. I feel for the poor girl having a second hand plantation wedding. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-It is not fair that you sent me a card for Valentine's Day with spa gift certificates for me and Lu and I cannot send you anything. Lu said I can buy you something and keep it until you come home. Then she told me to stop whining and make our appointments. Anyway, thank you for being thoughtful.
Lu thinks that she needs an edge over other people, so she had color contacts now that turn her brown eyes a pretty lighter brown. I will not admit it to her, but she now looks striking and more feminine. I was against her doing it, but she called Gram and Miss Bea and they both told her to go for it and if she poked her eye out, that was all on her.
If you are checking the time stamp on this email, you may wonder why it is so late that I am writing. That is because we decided we would not mope today and we volunteered at a soup kitchen all day. It was a moving experience and we have added that and the Salvation Army as other items on our calendar. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-It is official, I am on birth control. Lu decided that we should both get the shots starting now so we would be used to the hormones and all of that. Enough about that. My sister had her baby and it is a girl that she named Mary Alice. Yup, she named my niece a nun's name.
Anyway, she is distraught because the baby will not breastfeed. Gram told me that she said maybe the baby does not want to drink the koolaid. She is funny. I looked that up and there is nothing wrong with the baby, some just do not want the breast. Personally, I think it is good that the kid is already being different. Gram said she will keep an eye on her. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-This is all your fault. We got our weapons licenses and Lu wanted to get new guns since the ones we have are from you and from some guy named Pookie who was from the west side. We bought guns and now Lu threatens to shoot anyone that pisses her off.
Today that happened to be the cop that gave us a parking ticket. I told Lu that you cannot threaten a cop and that it was my car anyway. I told the cop that we were on new birth control and it made our hormones really crazy. It was an older cop and he agreed not to arrest Lula but made her promise not to bust a cap in anyone's ass unless it was in defense of herself or another person. She hugged him and apologized. We did not even go pub crawling to drink green beer.
When we got back to her house, Lula burst into tears. She begged me to visit her in jail if that ever happened. I just hugged her and made us both some hot chocolate. Miss Bea said maybe we should use the rhythm method and then she said never mind because she knows I would mess it up. I think she insulted me a little bit. I love you. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-Happy Birthday, love. Not much new is going on here, but I miss you. I will tell you that I have a whole new appreciation for you people that get up with the roosters. Lu's new schedules have us getting up at 0500 to get our runs in and still complete our grueling schedule every day.
I think Lu is secretly Hermione Granger or something. You should see our calendar. It is a huge dry erase board that Lu updates and says that we must follow it. We are doing something right, because we have been acing our classes. I am proud of myself for getting closer to having my degrees.
I am in much better physical shape and my stamina has improved greatly. I might be able to keep up with you the next time we pull an all-nighter, love. Heh heh. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-Gram came to visit us on her way back from Mardi Gras. I told her that was a month ago and she said so what? Then she admitted that she took the trip just to see us and to have fun with Lu because my mother is driving her crazy and she needed an excuse to get away. Mr. Grisham confirmed that they did groundbreaking on our homes so yay! He also said no one has contacted him about you, so I remain hopeful that you are alright.
Gram did not get into too much mayhem this visit. Besides daring us to go topless in the yard, she has been pretty tame. She went to volunteering with us and said she will do that when she went back home. We spent time line dancing and we found a scrabble club. Lu was in heaven because she said sometimes her brain does not shut off and now she has a new favorite thing to do.
Gram taught me to crochet, so I have started to work on squares that she said I can join and make into a huge blanket. No I am not turning into an old lady, but I have to keep busy. I miss your eyes and your hugs.
Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-Lu changed her hair style to soft curls. Her hair really grew! So did mine, but I only got the ends clipped. Lula made me burn the hair they cut. I told her magic is not real and she told me to shut up. She is so funny. I have been listening to audio books while we run instead of music and that helps to keep my mind occupied.
This month's challenge is to cultivate our contacts so we have spent the allotted time in our schedules making friends with the personal shopper girls, the perfume girls and the makeup girls at Sak's. They are interesting and they had good advice. I told you Lu is smart! She gave them hints, too and now we have people we can call to help us with our business because they are now Facebook friends with Lu and they told their counterparts about us.
It has been almost six months since I heard from you. I miss you so much. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mitch-I miss you, love. The guys and I are safe and none of us are hurt. I have read all of your emails and I smile to think about you having these experiences with your friend. Your safety is important. Please do not do B&E anymore unless you have to. I wonder if I will recognize the girl that danced with me on the beach with all of the training and exercising you have been doing?
You will not believe this, but the guys went out for R&R and they tried to set me up. Jayson is a nice guy who thought the guys were pranking him until I explained things to him. He is actually one of our contacts and Ranger found out he was gay. It snowballed from there.
I told the guys that I am faithful to my Mitch and there is no one else for me. They just shook their heads at me. I have been working out as well. Maybe it is you who will not recognize me!
So, we will move on to the final phase of our mission soon. I will be in touch at least once a month. Never give up hope, Mitch and I am glad you liked my surprises. I love you, girl. Take care of my beautiful badass wife. She is my world.

Mateo- I am so glad you and the guys are alright. Your friends are so silly. You must seem so lonely, love. When I see you again, be prepared to be kissed nonstop for at least an hour. Okay, maybe not an hour, but I will definitely be all over you. I am still working on the crochet squares and our exams are coming up. Our training is going well, too. I dream about you and your hugs. I miss them.
I am convinced that Lu is the good angel on my shoulder because she argued with me about where to park when we went to the mall the other day and I relented. When we came out of the mall, the car parked where I wanted to park was rear ended badly by a delivery truck and the back of it was folded like an accordion. I know, right? Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo- We are going on a trip to Cancun. Lu says there should be none of that Girls Gone Wild mess going on there. The reason for the trip is that we aced our exams again and we only have one year left until we have our degrees! Lu promised not to drink and to guard me if I did the same for her.
She is convinced that you will have a soldier boy for her and she wants a guy that will appreciate how bootylicious she is, too, so write that down. When we get back, we are starting yoga since we finished the krav maga classes. We are keeping judo because we like it. I will be in touch with another update in the crazy life of me. I miss you. Be safe and remember your promise to me. Love always, your Mitch.

Mateo-You haunt my dreams, you know. I replay our moments together and I get so hot. I can still remember the way you touched me. You played my body like your very own instrument and I cannot wait for your next concert, Mateo. I want you to come home to me safely so I can spend time making love to you.
I want to learn every place on your body that makes you shiver, that makes you moan and that makes you say my name. You have to be alright so we can spend our lives together. I love you, Mateo and I miss my husband. Don't forget your promise to me, love. I am yours and you are mine. Love always, your Mitch.

Mitch-I miss you, love. Girl, you are so sexy. You know you are the woman of my dreams. It has been too long since I tasted you, since I made you pant and moan for me, girl. It should be understood that I will make it my business to show you all the ways I have missed you when I return. You don't even have to worry. We may need a week or two before I will be satisfied with our welcome home festivities.
I am a very lucky man to have you for my wife. I know it is not easy, Mitch, with us being away from each other like this, but it must be done. This is an important assignment and we are more than halfway to its completion. Don't give up hope, girl. I am coming home to you. I want to see that pretty smile again. I am yours Mitch. Take care of my wife because she is my world.
