Dear Family;

I want everyone to know how happy I am. I never knew what it felt like to really be in love. New look, new Love, it's great. God put Christy and I together for a reason. We don't know what it is yet, and maybe we never will. That's ok. We are tied together with a force stronger than either of us. We both struggle through life's little problems but we have each other to lean on and talk to. For both of us this is very new. We no longer have to figure out things on our own. The reduced stress even has my hair growing back (with no external chemical help). We like to do the same things, watch the same movies, eat the same food, and it is uncanny how sometimes I just know what she wants or what she is going to talk about. It is amazing how in tune we are with each other. There isn't a day when we don't giggle (and Courtney always asks "what's so funny"). The children are amazed at how we do the same things, even our friends notice it. Courtney and Chelsey love her, and Marty and Dakota are great brothers for the girls. I feel like a kid again. My life is so different, on a summer weekend we went to a walking trail waded in a stream with the kids and eventually sat down in the water and made butt prints on the concrete. What a blast!!! What good is life if you can't enjoy the little things. We have a special poem we found and it talks to us both.

That's all for now

Love Chuck
