First one 3 days ago

I had some time in the car this weekend while my daughter had fallen asleep in her car seat. I had pen and paper at hand and wrote Anne a love letter. Her birthday is today, so it was a good time to reflect on how much i love her.

I think I’ll try to get to 10 this year before calling this goal “done”.

I love the way he writes... 5 months ago

... how long will it take him to find me on 43 things…
I joined as the outcome of his invitation.
He’s been journaling here cathartically and joyfully for a few years before we met.
The spark between us was ignited through sharing our hearts via writing. The first month alone(last July) we wrote each other over 200 emails.
A year later, as our relationship has lovingly grown
our writing has lessened.
For him, for us, as a gift…I dedicate these.
I continue.

I'm So Awful Sometimes. 6 months ago

I wrote my husband a LONG one the other day. A long, long, long one, that brought tears to my eyes while I wrote it. I was feeling so in love and so wrapped up in wonderfulness.

And then I got upset over something stupid, overreacted, and forgot everything I wrote. I forgot everything that I’ve been fighting for, everything that we believe in.

And now I feel like a dummy. Even though the argument is over. Even though we are fine. Why do I forget how much I love him and how wonderful he is so easily? I don’t like to think that I am always like that, and I have always done this. I want to think that when he’s home and not a bazillion miles away I will be able to remember… and not go insane over little stuff.



Josh Petersen Hello Startup Day!

Mothers and Daughters 6 months ago

Mother’s Day was last Sunday and I sent my wife the best love letter I could for a beautiful mother of 3. She got to sleep in while I herded kids until 11:30 and then we took her out for brunch. It was a sweet day, with lots of love from the kids for their mom, and enough time for the two of us to spend together to make it count. I love you Anne, you are a great Mother, and most beautiful to boot.

I'm in love with this goal 7 months ago

I’m finding time to write love letters lately. Sometimes good old fashioned pen on paper love letters and sometime new fangled text message love letters. My daughter and I are even sending email love letters. I am in love with love letters. When was the last time you sent one? It is a low risk high reward activity.



the power of the written word 8 months ago

Don’t underestimate the power of actually handwriting a note to someone. Not only will your lover appreciate this breath of fresh of air, but you can write love letters to family and friends.
I committ to writing four love letters this year.

I should do this more. During the beginning of my relationship with Stephen I wrote him love letters all the time. I’m going to start doing better at this.

Once he’s deployed I’ll def. be doing this more often… but I need to do it now more than ever with the wedding coming up. We both need to remember why we are doing this in the first place. He needs a physical representation that he can read over and over again, of how in love with him I am.



Sent a card today 18 months ago

Sent a cute card to my sweetheart today, which definitely counts. But I mustn’t forget good old proper letters too.
