Frankly not into celebration mode but I do would like you to know that
I remembered - and thank you for also bringing it up awhile ago in the
chat. I remembered during my commute in the morning that we are indeed
approaching that day and was wishing that the past three (3) months
brought us closer together. I hope so. I normally stay very long in a
relationship and would not wish to break that.

I hope you enjoy the potluck with your coworkers today. As for me,
another round of meetings very early in the morning outside of the
office. I also need to fastrack some of the work as I am a bit behind
schedule. I need to clear my desk by tomorrow morning or else the other
managers' will be going after my neck (not to mention my boss). Of
course that is an exaggeration. Overall today the day has been
productive.

I intend to send you the finalized brochures. Hopefully the materials
will come out pretty.

To my darling wife Yumi,

I want you to know that I really appreciate your phone call
this morning. I did not want you to go to bed in a down mood. That
was not my intention. You know that it is one of my goals in life to
make you very happy. That is of course, predicated on being w/ me.
You're going to continue to have to be very patient & understanding w/
me. I haven't had much experience in long-term relationships (none to
speak of), so it's like I am a virgin in that respect. I admit to
sometimes being clueless on the ups & downs, but I will try hard on my
part to keep us afloat.

I forgot to say last night or the other night about the joke
email about men that it doesn't mention cleaning. Cleaning is really
not my thing. It's one of the last things I ever do in my house.
There's so many other things I'd rather do than clean, because it cuts
into my personal time. When we are together, I will make more of a
concerted effort to clean more. I haven't forgotten that I mentioned
to you earlier on that I volunteered to clean the toilets. I don't
want your pretty dainty hands to have to deal w/ that kind of thing.
You may have to remind me at times to do it, but I will do it.

I am glad though, that my package has finally arrived to you.
I was worried that it not making it to you would be a bad omen of
things to come, like maybe it was not destined to arrive in your hands.
I think that when you look inside, you won't have any doubts about
where you stand with me. I'm even more drawn and bonded to you than I
ever have been. We have been through so much together and I hope to
make it last a very very very long time. I've known many months ago
that my future lies with you. I know that with
the way that you think of me and how it is reflected, how much time we
spend together (it never seems like it is enough), and those lovely but
brief visions I have of our lives in the present and future.

I will wait patiently for those brochures to come. I'm sure
that they will look great, of that I have no doubt.

Continuing my love for you everlasting. With love, your
husband,
Ron
