Dear Ted #59 - Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving today, honey bunny. But, we aren't celebrating today. KayeLynn and I are eating casserole and watching movies. Just one of those days. We will be celebrating on Sunday, it's my day off. Crazy to think that now that you are gone I can get part of the weekends off. Been like this for months - since Covid started and turned everything upside down. I did a thing yesterday. I went and traded in my beautiful Veloster for a Tucson. It wasn't brand new, but it was a year newer with 10,000 less miles. I got a thing that the Veloster needed to be updated on it's software for something to do with the variable shift or whatever it is. Took it in, the dude said that it needed a whole new clutch system and it would take up to two days to fix. Well, I don't know if you remember how I reacted when the Compass decided to start needing work, but I kind of freak out about stuff like that. So when I got home, I started looking online for a different car. I found this one at Ken Garff in Southtowne. It was really easy. I got there at 6:00. I took it for a test drive. Asked for a CarFax and then said write it up. It was just like that. Got home around 8:30. Cuz it's not a fast process. Anyway - it's now sitting in the garage and it's adorable. I'll show you a picture. It's bigger. I decided I had to get past my midlife crisis and get something a little bigger. And it's all wheel drive - which will be helpful at 6:00 in the morning driving to work. I'm actually getting very excited for the holidays. I'm excited for Sunday. I'm excited for Christmas. As long as we can keep this crappy shizz away from our family and stay healthy, that will make me happy. You just never know what is going to happen - ya know. We know that more than anyone, because who knew going to a movie a little over a year ago would change our lives forever?? I love you to the moon and back. And I miss you so very much. #loveyoumissyou

Dear Ted - #56 - Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday my love!! I hope you had a wonderful, heavenly birthday. Doing whatever you wanted to do. I made it through today ok. I lazed in bed, not wanting to get out and face the day, for quite some time. Then I got up. By the afternoon, I was kind of in a groove. But, when it came to the evening, I had a really hard time facing being by myself - staying in quarantine. I was already out. KayeLynn has to do all the shopping, because I'm not supposed to leave the house. She was kind of wiped out when it was done, so she asked if I would make your cake. So - I made the cake and then later made the biscuits and put dinner together. You see, we had a full on, virtual type dinner. All in your honor. Susan thought of it and put it together. It was all based on a dream she had with you in it. She dreamt that we had been to visit and we left a box there. The box was full of Red...

Dear Ted #24

So I've decided to give a new name to a certain day of the week. I will now be calling it Productive Tuesdays. I'm giving myself a goal to accomplish on that day and doing everything I can to meet that goal. This Tuesday, I worked on our bathroom and our bedroom. I finished up most of the painting, there is the other side of the beam that I still need to do, but it doesn't show - so I'm not too worried. 😂😂 Went through your nightstand drawers. A lot of the stuff in there made me smile. I also started painting our closet. I'm doing the same colors as the bathroom. I made a nice little shrine to you on your nightstand. Got a picture of you in front of the flags from when we were at the Missouri. I have your NSA mug with a bunch of little tools in it. Your Jeeps. Your Marine beanie and your Get Smart beanie. One of your floppy hats. Your one Marine hat is hanging above the night stan...

Dear Ted - #70 - Two years

Well, it's been two years. I can't even believe it. I worked all day and kept my mind off things. Since being home, it's not as easy. I love you more than you'll ever know.
