Laura,
As I lie here with the TV off (cuts off every 12 min.), I am thinking of you. I saw a couple on Jay Leno that have been married for 75 years. This brings to mind many visions and hops for the future, but it also brings into view some haunts from my past. I definitly have fears about commitment steaming from the pain Ive suffered in the past. I promise to you now that I will do everything I can to keep these fears from interfering with out relationship. I pledge to you complete honesty about my emotions. You have been wonderful to me over these past two weeks, and even before that. I must face up to the challenge of finding some middle group between the fear of commitment and the sense of overconfidence. It is important to have faith in relationships, but we must not take anything for grated. Early this Thanksgiving morning, 9 more hours until I see you again, I know what I'm most Thankful for right now. A beautiful woman has entered my life and allowed me into hers. I am thankful for the times we have shared and also the many times we will share from now into the future.

Laura,
Sorry about typing this instead of writing. But, this is easier for you to read and is still looks like I'm working.
I miss you. I'm getting more sleep now, but it would still be nice to have you show up on your way home from work or for me to come visit you at the library and stop by the BP on the way home for grilled cheese and/or pizza. But, let's face it; those days are probably over. If you never move back in with your parents, we may never stop by that BP together for late night food again. This opens the door for more memories to be created. In another year, well be reflecting on all the things weve done in Boone together. As you know, I love the mountains and I also love YOU, so having the two together will be wonderful. I can't wait to go sit on one of those scenic outlooks with you this fall and watch the leaves change colors before our eyes. Just like the trees, our relationship has evolved too in order to keep everything interesting. It's definitely been interesting and wonderful so far.
We started our relationship with about 3 months of very stressful times for both of us. Yet we never had a big fight or have doubts that wed make it through it all. Now we face less than 2 hours distance between us, but we both know the bond that holds us together is flexible enough to reach across oceans and planets.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. Well manage to be together somehow; regardless of how much your mother wishes to keep us apart. I can sneak in and out like a criminal if I need so that she'll feel better not knowing I'm there.
Well, I'd better try to get this letter in the mail so that it might beat me there. I love you! See you soon!
Love,
Darren
