Dear Husband

Dear husband,
This past week has been great. On thursday we went and got free massages with gift certificates that were given to us.  Boy were those amazing. Seriously, it was an hour of heaven. I vote we implement massages at home more. :)
And thanks so much for Saturday, you were wonderful to me all day. Work was being done around our apartments and so we didn't have any power for 11 hours.  So what did we do? Well, you pretty much did everything I wanted to do....meaning, we did some paint projects we had been putting off.  We played card games. A lot. We went to the movies and ate out since we couldn't cook at home. And at 10:00pm (when we finally had power again) and I asked you if you wanted to go on a walk on the beach, you said yes with no hesitation.  What was intended to be a romantic stroll kinda turned into us being trapped on the beach in a rain storm though.  We walked the 10 minutes to the beach and the rain didn't start until we were between beaches, so we couldn't get off the beach until we got to the other side of it. And let me tell ya, the sky just opened up and the wind picked up and before we knew it we had wind and rain pelting our backs.  So we looked at each other and thought, "so much for romantic, let's book it!" So we went running down the beach, rain coming down and all, until we finally got to an opening and got a little cover under some trees at the beach park. Of course it immediately stopped raining as soon as we got there. Typical.
Thanks for an awesome day though hun.  You make the simple things so much more enjoyable.
Love ya tons, wifey

Dear husband, since getting back to Hawaii almost two weeks ago, we've had some interesting days. And by interesting, I mean somewhat routine. I'm just waiting for classes to start in the end of July and you're just waiting to start teaching at the high school at the end of July.  So, while we wait, I spend my days working, cleaning and looking up and trying lots of recipes.  I think you've been pretty happy with my cookie-baking lately.  You've been so much more productive than me babe.  You've been so good about studying like crazy for the GRE (we're talking hours and hours a day).  You've also done tons of preparation for the coming school year.  I can't believe you're gonna have your own classroom, I'm so SO excited for you. 

We also bought a new car just last week.  We're in the process of selling our current one (hopefully we'll get a taker soon--we could really use the money about now).  But, in our short window of minimum-funds, we do have one fun thing to look forward to.  We got a pretty good "promotional perk" that came along with our new car.  You and I will be heading to the spa one of these days and each enjoying one-hour massages with aromatherapy and foot bath included.  Mmm mmm, I can not wait.  Neither of us have ever had massages before and I'm so excited that we get to go and get them together.  

When it comes down to it, we got a pretty fabulous life hun.  Thanks for that.
