Dear Ted #66 - Happy Anniversary

So - it's our anniversary today!!! Happy Anniversary. I worked my shift and the day really sucked. My knee is about as bad as it's ever been. The sucky part is that I had a cortisone shot about a month ago. It helped for a day, maybe two and then it started getting bad again. Almost every night, I'm in pain. I get my Delta insurance in July - so I'm just trying to make it til then to figure out what I can do. I have to wait until then for any more cortisone shots anyway. Came home, iced my knee and then decided I wanted to go out to dinner for our anniversary. So KayeLynn and I went to El Rancho - had chips, salsa, chile verde burrito and a MARGARITA!!! Now I'm just sitting home thinking of you. This is our second anniversary with you gone. But, our very last anniversary that we had together, you were running back and forth across the country to meet Aedynn for twenty mintes at the Atlanta airport. I'm ok with that. Aedynn will have that memory forever. Anyway - I love to the moon and back. I miss you something terrible. And I hope you thought of me a couple of times today, because I thought of you much more than that. #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 #63 - Happy New Year

Well, yesterday was New Years Day. I just want you to know I had a great day!!! And it was all in honor of you!!! Because we couldn't have your birthday party in November - you know, I was quarantined - we had it yesterday. We went and had an effing burger in your honor. I have to say that I was not impressed with Habit Burger. I don't think I'll go there again. Then we rented out one of the Cinemark Theatres in Farmington. We watched the new Croods movie. It was pretty danged cute. But the best part, the kids could just do what they want. Especially my little Stinka. She ran around, stopped by everyone and took their treats. And whenever the sloth said DUN DUN DUN, so would she. We had a dance party at the end while the credits rolled. I have to say, it was the best day I've had since you left me. Maybe it was not our traditional movie marathon, but it made me very happy. I love you so much and your tradition lives on. This year, it was a little ...
