Dear Luau,

OK, OK – you’ve convinced me. The friggin iPhone that you just HAD to have with the video function that we just HAD to pay up for was worth every dang flippin penny.

Now, I’ll ask you to please pay close attention to this next sentence, dear because I’m not going to say it twice.

YOU. WERE. RIGHT.

Gah!

Love,

Your wife

  7. What a sweetie. And I love it that she sees herself as more wrench that wretch. There’s nothing wretched about that girl! :)

  8. A good wife publicly proclaims her husband’s wisdom. (Surely there’s a verse to go with that – someone help.)

    Oh, and, wow – a no more perfect representation of grace.

    Thanks, Jess.

  9. she is a very good communicator of glee. she expresses glee. and i’m usually glee-impervious, but i’m feeling it all of the sudden. ugh, i’m not used to it. it takes some powerful sweetness to thwart my glee-barriers.
