one more time

Faith

it was so lovely to talk to you

I didnt really think about it until tonight...
but this will be the last thing that you will read
until you are here...with me

Im not really sure what Im supposed do now...
I've become so used to writing you everynight...
wait...
Ill be able to call you.
and maybe...sometime...
come home to you...
thank God.

I should save this...
so we can show it to our children
to prove to them we weren't always old...
(your mother wrote me the sexiest e-mail last night)

Im glad this part is over Faith...
but I have to say
I don't either of us will soon forget
the summer we fell in love.

please be safe.
I need to see you again.

I will be in the Airport to meet you.
I love you.

all the kings horses

that phonecall just told me that
I have to work in the morning...
so instead of going out...
Im going to bed.

but I can't sleep without
having written you...
it turns out...
I also can't sleep when
I know I have an e-mail from you...
Ill admit...
I've been up at 4 a few times to read them.

Im so glad your home this Monday.
I love you!
so many thing happened today
that made me realize how
silly lucky I am.

yes, we shall live in Berlin...
Ive planned it out...
whatever our next trip is
we shall fly into Frankfurt first
rent an apartment in Berlin
for the month
and then fly out to whereever it
is that we're going.
(Iran, South Africa, Turkey...whereever)
yes, I know...
I am both wise and terrible.

breakfast inappropriate was most interesting
but it would be improper for me to say
more about it here...
it will cost you no less than 7 kisses to have
me divulge this most interesting of events.

sigh.
it will be so nice have you here...
so I can stop drinking peach ice-tea...

I will call you tonight...
but Im hoping that your going out
so if I cant get ahold of you
Ill try again your next morning

I have also...
decided that if we are not headed
straight back to saskatoon
we should pretend we are...
I have a double date Id like
to avoid at all cost.

G-d looks at the heart faith...
and mine thinks we'll be together forever.

I read alot of Harry Potter in this chair... 

the astro clock 

the source

babe,

I know this is short...
but you have an e-mail from me too...
I think we both know
that too many people read this.

Here are a few more pictures too!

maja and my aunt 

my mother at masters games 

sigh along

its national something something day
which means I didnt have to...anything...today

Im reading this book, this Gurdieff book...
I like it, he writes alot like Garcia-Marquez,
except his stories are supposed to be true...

I wrote replies to both your brother and
your parents today...
I hope they know that nervousness
makes people say stupid things...

Lots of people want to know if we're engaged now...
and I have to tell them, that no, we are not...
and that (sigh) it will probably not happen
for a long time...
its like they think its not normal to skip across
an ocean for a girl you're just casually dating ;)

we had to tell my mother today that Cheryl Sauer had died...
Im not sure if you remember me talking about her
several months back...
she was young, and had cancer...
a little less than a year ago my mother had tried to hire
her at the store...
several days later she received the news that
she was no longer in remission...
mom had talked to her last week...
and had meant to go and visit her...
we didnt tell her while she was gone...
I guess we thought it best...
today though, when she was sorting through the papers
we all remembered that her obituary was there...
we had saved it for her...
it showed cheryl with the long curly hair she'd had
before the radiation treatment...
and talked about how she had held on so long...
not for herself, but for the people she loved...
so I told her...and she broke down and cried...

what a horrible thing
to feel powerless
to help those that you love...

I feel the same thing with you sometimes...
when I hear that you;ve been crying in
front of strangers.

but I guess I can try...

Faith, we are in love!
and together I know
that we have a chance at a
life that most people could
only dream about...
(I dont just mean the adventures...
but I do think we should have a sailboat)
I am yours babe...
and you are everything Ive ever hoped for.

and if thats not worth smiling about...
know that I will buy you any kind
of ice-cream you want when you get home.

do you think that shar'ee (sp?)
would let me call her cell-phone?
I seem to recall that it wouldnt cost her
anything...I know its hard for you to ask such things...
but would I ever love to hear your voice.

waiting for my halo

I couldnt not write you again...
I just missed you too much today...
I can't tell you...
what I would give...
to wake up tomorrow morning and
have you beside me.

I've posted a few more picture too...
most of the photos I took are of you
(your beautiful, even when you make funny faces)
but there are a few others that are not awful.
(they scanned abit light, Ill get prints made of the best ones)
Ill try and post a few of them over this week.

really faith,
I dont want to spend another second without you.
this week could not go fast enough.

I love you so very much

charles bridge - this is the only one of the night pictures I didnt
ruin when I opened up the camera

prague 

you are so cute 

prague 

best concert ever 

you owe me a dance

faith!

I miss you so much!

Last night was probably
the best summer night I've had
without you...
it just made me miss you more.

the folk festival is in town,
and I left work early to go.

We sat on the grass
and stranger talked...
I threw some grass at Kate
(shes the one that cut my hair off!)
which escalated quickly into an all
out grass throwing fight...
yes...I am a child..

Sarah Slean was playing when we first arrived.
I love her voice, and she was funny and intelligent.
(she advised children not to read kierkegaard alone in cabins)
it was a wonderful concert...
and as we sat eating much delayed japanese food
I thought it might be the best I'd see that day.

When Sarah Harmer came on we rushed the stage...
The immaculate Danny Michel had stayed on to play
lead guitar for her...
it was incredible...being so close...
around 10.30 she started to play this slow waltzy song...
we grabbed some random people...
and slow danced under the perfect prairie sky.
The only thing that kept this from being one of the best moments ever...
is that you weren't the the girl I was dancing with.

sigh.

it was without a doubt the 2nd best concert I have ever seen.

really, I dont know if Ill ever see another another show
like that Sigur Ros concert...
it wasnt just the music...it was looking at you...
and knowing
without doubt
that we were in love.

gah!

come home!
(in 8 days)

Im having a lazy day today.
Ill do some reading...
and maybe...if Im feeling brave...
some writing.

I love you.
