Happy Anniversary

Happy 25th anniversary Sweetie!! Thanks for saying yes 25 years ago when I got down on one knee at the Black Swan in Kalamazoo. You've made me a very happy man over the years.

Love you much!

Happy Birthday Darling

Just wanted to wish you a big happy birthday Sweetie! Don't forget to open your card that's in my closet downstairs. I'm sorry I cannot be with you on your special day but know you are in my heart and thoughts on this wonderful Saturday. Take some time for yourself and enjoy the day because you have earned it!

Hugs and kisses!

R&R and Malkin


Well, I am back in Kabul after a wonderful time spent with family in Holland. The travel there and back was a little tiring (don't want to spend over 10 hours in the Atlanta airport ever again) but to be honest, I would have made the trip to see the family for one day. While home, I got to see lots of Taylor's tennis matches (he and his doubles partner, Kevin, were ranked No. 1 at conference after sweeping victories), a hockey practice, movies with Kelly, time with Turner, my sister and dad, mowing the lawn, washing and waxing the 4Runner and just enjoying our wonderful home and my wonderful family.

The highlight was a Red Wings and Penguins hockey game in which Afghanistan helped me to have Taylor meet his favorite NHL player...Evgani Malkin (via photo). Have you ever seen Taylor smile so wide? When I get home in March, we'll try and make some other memorable moments, too.

Thanks for a great leave family! I love you! Less than five months to go!
