dear shmohn,

do you dislike it when i call you shmohn?  our friend lauren says it, and she kind of has a way of making things rub off on me.  but if you aren't fond of it, i will swipe it from my vocabulary.  permanently.  speaking of vocabulary.... i really liked that we learned three new words together last night before we read scriptures.  can we do that every night?  i certainly think we should.

i had forgotten how delicious a caramel apple can be.  {yes, i ate your caramel apple from the wedding.  is that okay?  i will buy you an even better one if you want.  one from rocky mountain chocolate factory with crumbs of all kinds of goodness on them.... like snickers chunks, or pie crust, or nuts! yay.}  yesterday, as i chomped on this rather delicious caramel apple, i contemplated the cruelty of the universe.  it is 50 degrees, rainy, and my husband has to work all day while i sit at home.  bored.  watching the food network and catching up on the various t.v. shows i am obsessed with {ie. bones, house, grey's anatomy, glee....}  i'm not really sad for myself - i can keep myself busy and entertained - {mostly! although we both know that i am an active body, and i usually resort to compulsively cleaning the house when i have nothing else to do....} but i am sad for you....  cooped up in an office with one little window to look out and see the parking lot through.  not even much scenery.  i thought that maybe one of these days i would make a poster and bring it to your office.  then i would stand outside your window like the cool person that i am and dance.  then you would notice the poster telling you how awesome you are and that i love you, and get a tad bit embarrassed.  but you would still love it and it would brighten your day.  right?  right?

but that will have to wait until we get good weather i suppose.  it is a mere 46 degrees outside right now, and r.a.i.n.y.  what - do we live in seattle or something?  last time i checked, nope.  i can't wait until we go to cancun in nine days!  can you believe it?  the forecast there: 90 degrees and sunny.  won't that be the best?  i can't wait to get back on that beach and eat that delicious food and just veg.  for hours.  i think you need it.  right?  am i right?

i love you more than you will ever know.
xoxo
