An Open Love Letter to My Wife

September 16, 2008

My Dearest Kristi,

Over the years our love has blossomed like a poinsettia at Christmas. A day without you is like a day without a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats. My love for you grows and grows - like a kudzu vine in Georgia. You are such a wonderful mother. Your work ethic puts even the busiest beaver to shame. I don't see how you do it all. The least I could do is give you some extra help.

I know shopping is not your favorite activity, so I decided to do a little early Christmas shopping to assist you. So, I ordered a Fit Bit for my Christmas present from you. That's right, you can cross me off of your list already! I know you are spending a little more money on me than usual. It's okay though. I approve. The way I see it, this Fit Bit will keep me healthier and is actually an investment in my future good health, which I'm sure will someday more than cover the $100 price tag.

Also, this order will work out perfect because the Fit Bits won't actually start shipping until December, right at Christmastime. When I discovered this, I knew that my "Christmas shopping" idea was simply meant to be.

One more thing, my love, if, after reading about the Fit Bit, you decide you would like one for Christmas too, go ahead and order another one. Then on Christmas day we can simply trade Fit Bits.

I think this is going to be the most romantic Christmas ever!

All my love,

Steve
