The best pen-pal ever.

Today I got a letter! Don't you just love getting mail? I think the mail man's jeep thing is my favorite set of wheels I see rolling through our parking lot next to the ice cream man truck (yes, we have one!). I've never actually gone out to get a 25 cent Smiley Face pop, but just the sound of the jubilant music tickling my taste buds is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth (a little extreme, maybe...but you know what I'm talkin about).

So anyway, back to the letter! It wasn't just any letter. Oh no! It was a letter from him. That cute hubby of mine. I'm starting to think he likes me. :) As I've mentioned before, Nathaniel and I had the privilege of experiencing a two-year purely hand-written friendship previous to our engagement and marriage. During those 24 months, my favorite part of the week was when I got a letter from him. I look back on those days like I hope I'll look back on these days sometime in the distant future. It may sound old-fashioned and a teensy bit corny, but maybe I'm old-fashioned and corny! I love letters! Such a lost art, in my opinion. And, might I add, Nathaniel's dang good at it. I love that he knows how to combine a couple words into a beautifully formed sentence and win me over without even trying. I get butterflies. And, dang it! I hate to say it, but he makes this whole separation thing somewhat enjoyable. (I said somewhat). :)
