Dearest sweetpea,

This morning was so refreshing! For one, I woke up and checked my email, to find that I had received a few messages from you on Facebook :D It really sets the mood for my day getting a message from you, since you're my first thought anyway ;)
My Arabic class went well, I think I'm finally starting to get better at my pronunciation of negated verbs (Something that I will definitely tell you all about either through Skype or else when we meet up!) After that I went to the bookstore on campus and found postcards, which is a relief, because I definitely wanted to start sending my family something!
Anthropology today was just a review session, and it went well. I am really enjoying my classes this summer. They challenge me to think critically and the professors are great. I contributed a lot today in the review session, and so I feel like I am ready for the midterm on Sunday :)
Can you believe it? I'm already halfway through the summer semester! I just know you're going to love your courses! It'll be nice to be able to talk about our classes together and how we are doing in them :) Ya know, only 37 more days until we see each other, and the last week will just fly by anyways, so it's more like 30 days!!! That's nothing! We've got one of them strooong relationships, the ones that will last longer than time. Lol, I just remembered how I wrote you that story. My favorite character in it was the large rock :D
Tonight a whole bunch of us are going to a house party, and phase one of Operation No Mo Clubs will be underway, mwahahaha...
You see, I am going to have only one beer throughout the entire party, if that! We'll all have a good time and blah blah blah, and then the next day I'll wake up and pretend that I got really sick from the night before! They won't be able to deny it, because I'll just say something like, "yeaaa...I had a lot and then I ate some bad food", or something like that! By the way, don't worry, I wouldn't miss our Skype date for the world! 10pm your time, 5am my time ;) Even if it's only for a few minutes, I cannot wait to see your beautiful, smiling face! And don't worry about the party tonight, I promise to be safer than a marshmallow in a mental ward. Get it? Because marshmallows are fluffy and soft, and mental wards have those padded rooms...
Okay, not my best analogy, but you catch my drift!
I know you must be feeling a million things right now, honey :) It's totally normal to feel everything you're feeling: nervous, scared, excited, happy, sad, adventurous, in looove ;D Know that I am always here for you, and so if you ever need me, I would at the very least jump on Skype in a heart beat. Heck, at the very least I would jump on a plane just to see you for one day :D I am here for everything that you need me to be there for. First and foremost I am your best friend, honey, and then a close second as an amazing lover, but a best friend nonetheless, and so I am here for everything! Feeling crampy and bloated and you need someone to vent to? That's me. Did you just save a snail from getting run over and you nearly got run over in the process, and you need someone to comfort you? Me :DDD
I will wrap my arms around you soon, and I'm sorry, but I'm never going to let go of you. Yup, you're mine, as I am yours.

Thank you for being...you.
Talk to you soon, pumpkin!

Love, Forever and then some,
Joe
