I can hear you singing downstairs
with your earphones on

that always brings a smile to my face
*smile*

love

I hope you had a really good time tonight
I really do
you happy makes me happy
and I'm only a tiny bit envious
that it's not with me

love

it feels like it has been a really long day
and you've had a long day
and things didn't go as planned
we haven't really seen each other
much at all
but at the end of this long day
everything is ok
we're here
together

love

In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from the swarm of bees

I could taste...
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

u2 wild honey

you know this always makes me smile
and sing
sorry abut that...

love

often this is my favorite time of day
the kids are in bed and the house is calm
at least for a while
and it's just you and me

love

falling in love with you is the easiest thing I've ever done
I felt warm inside just knowing I was going to see you
and it didn't matter what I was doing that day
it was a good day
just knowing I'd be seeing you

I love waking up with you every morning
especially these dark cozy winter mornings
we never really get to sleep in anymore
but maybe that's what makes those precious
few moments so sweet

love

looking back there are things I probably should have done differently
things to make your life at that time easier
I could have been more sensitive to your circumstances
my enthusiasm got the best of me

I couldn't believe that I had your attention at all
and I didn't want to miss a moment

I was greedy

love

I was attracted to you right away when we met
even though I felt very nervous and out of place
you were attractive
your legs
(nice butt)
your smile
your hands
you were so nice to look at
even though I shouldn't have been looking

remember that time you wrote out
i love you
on my bed with my socks and underwear
for me to find
when you were gone

I smile every time I remember...

no one makes me feel like you do

love

I was just thinking about the time I snuck down to the parking garage at your work and covered your car with hearts for Valentines day
I realize it was goofy but I think that made it even more entertaining
covert operation
sneaking around the garage looking for your car
I'm sure the people who drove by thought I was a kook
I didn't care

it's so much fun
planning little surprises

love

I don't typically like this time of year
but I was remembering this time back when we were just on the verge
the edge of the beginning
I was so happily in love with you
and I don't think you even knew

you were my secret

you didn't kiss me when you left the house this morning
I don't think you're upset with me
you said goodbye like you usually do

I hate to miss a kiss

love

I dream of a vacation together

it seems that a lot of our greatest memories are away from home
trips around the world
car trips to canyons and coasts
trips to sunny places with bicycles and wedding rings
I look forward to family trips too
showing our kids the world
at least parts of it
today I dream of a vacation with you

let's run away together

darkness

the nights are so long
it seems we only see each other in darkness
the morning is slow to creep in
we try to wait for the light
it's dark again when you return
the lights are low
quiet night sounds
we stay warm together

I don't mind the darkness

love

today I am going to borrow some inspiration...this song always takes me away...I think of you...

Nothing can compare
To how I feel
When I'm by your side
And nothing can compare
To the world
I see in your eyes

'Cause I know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there
Yea I know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there

You fill my head
With colours
Of wonder and delight
You move across my mind
Like the dance
Of the Northern Lights

As we sat in front of that August moon
You said the clouds they look like angel wings
Sometimes I wonder if you can read my mind
'Cause I was thinking the very same thing

When I'm with you all the stars shine through
My heart opens up like a morning flower
You know I'd leave it all behind
'Cause my only peace of mind
Is when I'm here with you

So tell me your dream
Lay your head on my pillow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain
Your pleasure
Your sorrow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain
Your pleasure
Your sorrow

I'm glad you've been able to have some time to yourself in the past few days. it's important that we all have time to pursue our passions. even if it's not as much as we'd really like. it's not easy to fit everything in. but worthwhile.
we've had some really great times as a family over the holidays. it's so nice to unwind.
we've even had a few great moments together.
listening to music or driving to and from your parents place. it's not easy to keep that connection.
I'd love to have more of those moments with you.

you look wonderfully handsome in your blue shirt and suit today. I know you didn't think I noticed when you left the house today but I did.
I love that shirt on you.
I love your blue eyes

Introduction

It's a new year and time for new resolutions.
My goal is to write love letters to my husband on a regular (hopefully daily) basis. 365 is the challenge!

Why a blog?
It has been noted on occasion that I am not very good at expressing myself verbally. I always feel more comfortable in writing. Maybe this will encourage me to be more expressive in all ways. At least it's a start.

Why love letters to my husband?
I am a mother of 3, currently all under 3 years old. We have been married almost 5 years. It's an understatement to say that our life together virtually exploded 3 years ago. We have been blessed with 3 healthy beautiful children we adore. However, life is crazy and hectic and often exhausting. I wanted a little quiet space for the two of us.

The Real Challenge.
My husband is a wonderful person. It's not difficult to find nice things to say about him. The challenge is to do it daily. And I know there will be days when I don't feel like it. Or don't feel particularly loving. That is my challenge. Like a daily affirmation. To be more loving.
I was inspired by someone who wrote letters to his wife every day for like 40 years or some such thing. This isn't quite the same, but I was inspired!

Why public?
I wondered how it would be best to do this. After all it's really just personal between my husband and myself. But just like evil spreads, so does goodness. So I thought maybe I'd put my love letters 'out there' and God or the universe (whatever you believe in) will support me. Don't we all need all the good we can get?
