Sparky… He’s a moron. I’ll have to tell you in person in case this is intercepted through the Air Force email filters.

Vapor? What is scary about that? I’m scared that it’s in reference to his bowels, but according to Handsy? The kid flew his plane at the Academy until he was on fumes and got in trouble. He could have crashed a multi-million-dollar jet – so he’s not the brightest either.

Maybe they’ll impress me? They’ve been here a week and yeah… none of us are ‘wow-ed’ yet. I thought Hot Cakes and Caboose were going to put one of them in the ER one night. Not sure what was going on with those two guys, but they were awfully short tempered. Everyone is lately. Maybe it’s the heat? Not sure.

I’ve got family on the brain… and can’t wait to see you.

Love,

Ryan

Happy Six-Month Anniversary!

Can you believe it? You’ll be here before we know it! I’m starting to get a few reservations trickling in at the bed and breakfast… and I’m so very pleased!

I wish you were here, because it’s so strange to see your rocker empty on the porch. I still sit out there every night and bought a little Grim Reaper shaped pillow to put in your spot beside me.

I’m sure the neighbors think I’m weird.

Miss you!

Oh my gosh!I’m so mad! Some ‘porch-pirate’ stole my Grim Reaper pillow – and I cried.

I couldn’t believe it.

I thought maybe the wind blew it off, or something? But I think some little hoodlum (or guest?) helped themselves to it. It was awfully adorable.

Maybe I’ll put one of those freaky ‘dead-behind-the-eyes’ dolls in your seat instead. They can feel free to steal it… am I right?

Love you,

Sophie

Ryan,

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I have a little something headed your way… I’m so excited that I can’t stand it. It just kinda hit me the other day and you’ll have to let me know what you think.

I can’t believe it’s been nine months already… and a little bittersweet.

If things had been different, we would have been possibly discussing our new arrival. I hope that I’m not coming across as pushy or anything, but I’ve never felt so happy, so in love, and so excited to have a future with you.

I love you to the moon and back, my beloved Reaper…

Always,

Sophie

My beloved one,
