Dear Sara,
Have you ever had one of those moments where in a flash you see yourself at some point in your future? Or maybe some point in what could be your future? In an instant that epiphany is as clear and real as anything in the now. I had one of those today.
I was walking out the front door of the house to my car, I was off to my grandparents to crawl around under their house and replace a dryer exhaust vent, when I passed our neighbors house, which is currently vacant. All the windows were open and no blinds were up, and the new owners were painting the walls. They looked like a young couple, maybe mid 20's, and all of a sudden that flash hit me.
Maybe 1-2 years from now; you're finished your law degree, I'm a police officer. You and I are finally moving into a place of our own, no more renting, you can finally get away from your mother, our wedding is right around the corner. Its nothing big or fancy, its probably an apartment or condominium, but its our own place. And in this thought bubble I saw both of us moving furniture and boxes labeled "Sara's clothes" and "Donovan's stuff" into the rooms and closets. The boxes have perfect punctuation on them because you packed those. I see us running Ethernet cable for our nerd stations and trying to put book shelves together from those crappy "build it yourself" instructions and taking way longer doing it than people as smart as us should.
"I'm telling you, the fucking thing is one screw short!"
I can see us goofing off as we're doing all of this, excited, happy to finally be together in our own little haven of privacy, even if we can hear people walking above us, or the neighbors play their music too loud. I very clearly see us in maybe the bedroom or lounge, half finished unpacking and stopping for a quickie right there on the floor, the natural progression from all the kissy lovey dovey-ness we've been doing all afternoon. We spend another hour afterwards lying together on the floor in each others arms constantly saying things like, "I cant believe this is finally happening, how great is this?"
I saw all of this in the span of a second tops. It wasn't one of those naturally progressing thought patterns where my mind jumps from one thing to the next, it was like in an instant I saw all of this, and it was like seeing the future. And it feels as comfortable and natural as anything I know in the now. I smiled and loved it, and I didn't feel like a goof for having that image in my head either, because I know you feel the same way that I do about you and about our future. It was a fantastic moment that I wanted to share. And hey, this may not even be one full computer page, but it was incentive enough for me to FINALLY be able to do some writing and for it to come out normal and natural again. So you aren't that big of a distraction! Seriously, it's guys who aren't getting laid on a regular basis that are the ones doing all of the great writing.* All this time away from each other will be tough, but we'll get through.
I love you,
Donovan

this saccharine piece of crap sucked, but this "Seriously, it's guys who aren't getting laid on a regular basis that are the ones doing all of the great writing" is right on. the misery of lonely men is the cornerstone of literature.

I've got a Sarah, too, and I couldn't be more in love. So, +2 for that.

one of my sister-in law's is indo-dutch. She and my brother (Blue eyed caucasian) had the most beautiful lil' girl.
Of coures, being the aunt, I might be prejudiced. But she is prettier than at least one of my other nieces..
(WOOOT for NH girls!)

Yeah I know, I've always had a thing for asian girls, and Sara is a whitewash half dutch eurasian. Maybe its the tall, blonde haired blue eyed guy in me finding opposites attractive, but she is so my ideal partner.
