We just talked the cooks out of a piece of ice so now we have a can of ice water. Honey, I had a cramp in my hand when I wrote that last sentence. I finally had to stop writing before I ruined the whole letter. Felt so silly not being able to write. How is the apartment life coming? I'll bet you are having the time of your life. Gee honey, what I wouldn't give to be there. So July 19 & 20 is the date that changed our lives. Funny how a date started something fine and wonderful like this. to think that we nearly missed having that date. I guess it was just meant to be. When, why and how are unimportant as long as it happened and we fell in love.
