Love is in the Air! ... and other topics

Hello Friends! How time flies ... I guess not many interesting things happened since my last post. The only change of any interest is that I was let go from the temp agency almost a month ago. No reason was given other than "the client doesn't need you anymore". Just like everywhere else, jobs are hard to come by (especially in rural areas). I'm looking for work, but no luck yet. I'm still trying to qualify for unemployment to hold us over in the meantime.

Anyway, enough of that - now onto the LOVE part. The wonderful ladies at Rants From Mommyland posted a question for another reader about what she could do to help her marriage, because the flames were burning a little low. So far they've gotten 350+ comments. That post & the comments made me think about what I might be able to do in this area (because hey, who doesn't want to be reminded that they're loved?) So what I ended up doing was writing my husband a letter, starting with telling our story of how we got together until we got married. Then I summed it up by telling him what I appreciated about him. Seriously, my husband is one of the gentlest, patient, forgiving & loving souls I know. And I'm WAY better at expressing the gentler emotions by writing them than trying to remember what I wanted to say anyway. Plus this way he can hopefully remember why he married this crazy woman in the first place!
