P.S. I Love You

After four years of J-school I know the drill. Make it short. Make it sweet (not literally though). Get to the point. Get it out there. Just get it done.

Not when it comes to love letters though. (Well...love emails is more like it. Sometimes I positively hate technology). Make them long, make them wordy, throw in lots of adjectives and pretty-old fashioned words.

When Seth and I first started emailing each other, while not love letters, but more like how do you do letters, I was always impressed with the length of his emails and frequency. Everyday without fail there would be paragraphs upon paragraphs telling me all about his life and his family and what he hoped for in the future and in a relationship, and questions wanting to know the same thing from me. And even after the phone calls started, the emails kept coming. Every day.

Every once in awhile though, his emails will have a stark amount of white space at the bottom. Sometimes it's because he's stressed out and has a lot of work for the day, or because he spent 16 hours on the road and is exhausted. But sometimes, on days like today, it's because what he has to say is simple. Short and sweet. Ridiculously to the point. But of definite Prince Charming quality.

It was only 80 words. But he had me at "Morning hun!"

YOU TWO ARE SO SWEET!!! Seriously, Amy, I think it's giving me a toothache ... but, as my husband likes to say, it's a "good hurt." ;) You just might have to keep this blog up for all time and eternity because you and Seth have become my soap opera. I'm hooked ... in a strictly non-creepy sense, of course. :D
