Perfect Little Wife

Dear Gracious Host -

This past weekend I had an old friend from college come and stay with us a few days. You made his stay a perfect one. You made the house so clean and warm. You fixed an excellent dinner and you were a wonderful conversationalist. I think my friend was so impressed that I had found myself such a catch. He said 'you were very sweet, and you worked very hard to please me." I like that and I agree!

I really feel privileged to get to see a side of you that not every one sees. I love the way you fill our home with warmth and love! and I love you because you are sweet and you go to great lengths to please me!

My Little Editor

Dear Sweet Editor -

Today you have been helping me to revise my KSA's. I love the fact that you help me to think about things I have not thought about before. You really help me to look better than I really am. You have edited so many articles for me and together we have even written a few. I can't wait to see how we work together in the future.

I want you to know that even though we have been busy today, you have constantly been on my mind. I love you so much and I am so thankful that we are on our long honeymoon.

I love you because you help me be the man that I have always wanted to be....

My Little Easter Bunny -

I had such a great weekend with you this weekend. I enjoyed working on the house together. You were a great resource as together we painted the kitchen, put on new knobs, and hung a new light in the kitchen. It really looks like a brand new place.

Then on Sunday morning to see you lead worship was very amazing. I have always loved to hear you sing, but this Sunday was very special. I don't think I will ever forget the cross and what it looked like as all the red ribbons hung from it. You are a great worship leader and I can really sense your love for the Lord. He loves you, He forgives you and He wants you now as much as ever.

Then our pinic yesterday. It was a wonderful experience to be out at the park and hide eggs. Then to get and read your card...awhhh, it was jsut so sweet.

I love you because of the traditions that we have created together...

Wedding Trip Reflection -

Good Morning World Traveler -

As we have just celebrated our one month anniversay it finds me thinking about our trip. I want thank you for going through the pictures last night and writing in the album that we are sending to my parents. What you wrote is very special and it almost makes me want to keep the album -

I love you for all the little touches that you give to life...

Now back to my wedding reflection - I am thinking today about the morning of our wedding. We went over the villiage next to our resort and climb a hill up to their prayer tent. It was a beautiful sight as we overlooked the villiage, the resort, and the place that we were gong to be married.

At the top of the mountain I felt so close to God and so close to you. I remember how sincere your prayer was and I remember touching your cheek as the tears ran down them. I prayed that God would bless our union and that He would help me to be a leader in our relationship.

I could not have scripted a better way to start our wedding day. This is a defining moment that we will never forget.

Also, I remeber how much joy we felt when we saw a rainbow in one of the wedding pictures before our wedding. We both felt as if it was God telling us that He heard our prayers and He will answer them.

Our Anniversary - One Month

Dear Bride of One Month -

Today is our one month anniversary. It is so hard to believe that we have alreayd been married a month. Only 49 years and 11 months until we hit our goal of 50.

One month ago at this time we were climbing the prayer mountain in Fiji to pray for our wedding and for our marriage. I will never forget that day. The climbing together with our guide Ville through the weeds, flowers, and trees up the hilly mountain. The View was amazing and I really felt like I was an Old Testament Chaaracter climbing the mountain to be close to God. Once at the top we were able to sit down next the the tent and cross and pray together. It was a very meanuingful prayer as we repented of our past sins and we asked God for His blessing. I belive that the sun that day, the rainbow in the afternoon, and the sunset at night were all signs of God's acceptance. You know, I didn't think about this until now - but it did not rain that day and yet there was still a rainbow in the sky...

I felt so close to as we prayed. I heard our words of confession and our heart-felt desire to make our marriage in line with God's principles and His desires.

You really are the best wife any man could ask for.

Update: At the end of this day we saw another rainbow. It was so cool because it was exactly a month after our wedding.

I love you because of your deep love for God. Happy one month anniversary.

Our Wedding Video


Dear Video Vixen -

Yesterday, we received a copy of a wedding video that Dean had made for us. Last night we watched it and I so enjoyed watching you as you watched it. He had added music to our ceremony, and then the reception afterwards.

The video reminded me of how beautiful you looked that day! You are an amazing woman and you were the most beautiful bride that I have ever seen. I don't think I will ever forget the feeling that I had when I saw you walk down the aisle to meet me. I kept looking around and throught the trees to try to get just a glimpse of you. You literally took my breath away!

I know that I will have many memories to share about our wedding and our time in fiji!

I love you so much - and I love you because you are the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen!

Our Day On Jury Duty

Dear Blind Justice -

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed yesterday with you. Even though we spent the first part of our day off downtown because you were called to jury duty - we made the day both special and memorable. I think it so amazing that we can have such deep connection moments in all kinds of places. We can enjoy the island of Fiji or we can enjoy the inside of mall or sitting in a car talking. Our relationship is so different then anything I have ever experienced.

We spent much of the day looking for a new comforter for our bed and although we didn't find what we were looking for, we did find each other and our vision for bedroom for the future. I told you yesterday, and I really meant it - "I really care little about what the comforter looks like, along as you are the one that I get to sleep next to underneath it."

Now off to a busy week, but I will not forget this day. Another day of a long honeymoon.
