House Tour

Dear Becky,

As promised here are a few pics of our new house. It's still a work in progress but it's home! The first few of my room and my very own bathroom! Can you believe it. I finally get my own room to pee in at age 24:) The rest are jumbled up: Tory's room the other bath, living room, kitchen , dining room,70s game room and our front porch. Come see the rest in real life! I didn't post in of the backyard but its a good size and fenced in. I want to add lights, a fire pit and a hammock. I will share those when that happens. I love you.

Dear Becky,

The other night I made black bean burgers and watched the film "Blue Valentine". It was a good film overall but if you ever need reassurance on the idea of marriage don't watch it. Possibly the one good thing out of the film was this song:

I can't stop listening to it!

Victoria and I will be moving into this house next month:

the one on Pasco Lane. So come out and help us clean and decorate.

I am in high spirits today despite the past few weeks. Perhaps it's the million thoughts running through my mind keeping me busy.

I love you. Just stopping by to say hello!

Dear Becky,

Thank you being there this week when I needed you. I know if I try to talk to you on the phone my eyes will tear up as they are right now. I'm not sure why that is. I can talk to coworkers and keep it under control but when I try and talk to close friends or family my emotions burst right out of me.

I really hate that saying: "everything happens for a reason." I'm gonna punch someone in the face if they dare say that to me. So I stopped at a book store after work today and picked up this book.

I've only read the introduction but already I'm seeking comfort in the writer's own crisis. She says: I know that it may be hard for you to believe, but your current crisis could be the best thing that ever happened to you. In fact you can make sure your crisis is the best thing that ever happened to you, even if it seems right now as if all is lost...... You are about to embark on a glorious, magnificent new chapter of your life--not despite your current crisis, but because of it!

I realize it's not that horrible when you think of all the other things that could have happened: getting mugged, shot, robbed, ruffed. (hey I live in the city)but a crisis is an unexpected event that that creates uncertainty. And it sure as hell was unexpected.

Anyway, I had some free time and thought I'd write you a letter. Hey I'll have more time I can write you more often! I plan to read in the park, go to movies that I want to see!, have a lot of lady time, get back in school and take on some hobbies.

Any suggestions????

I love you.

Red Lips

Dear Becky,

This is my first official post. I have big plans for these letters so please don't be discouraged by the planeness of my first.

Did you know that this is my first time ever having a valentine? AND I'm spending it with my mother! Despite the unfortunate change of plans I awoke in a chipper mood, it was most likely due to the first good night of sleep I've had in 2 weeks!

I wore red lipstick today in honor of all the love in the air.

And I'm sitting at home awaiting ma to arrive with chinese food in hand. I love you and will write again soon.

XOXO

Andy
