Here I am 2 days into this project and I'm already a day behind!!!  I've spent all day cleaning and trying to get the house ready for Brian coming home tomorrow!!!

Here are the letters-

Dearest Brian,
I got the pictures today.  I like the same one you do.  I think that turned out the best.  I'm sending that one back to you.  Am I supposed to send the others, too?  I will if you need or want me to.
Classes started today.  Boy am I going to be busy!  So far no homework but there will be plenty soon enough!
You mentioned that you wanted to give me a New Year's kiss.  Just hold that thought until the 15th and I'll be more than happy to let you give me a real kiss!!  :-)
39 days!
I wish I could just go to sleep or something like that for the next 39 days so that when I woke up I could be in your arms again.  I get so lonely and wish you were here.  I can't explain how much you mean to me.  I love you so very much!
Do you like Root Beer floats?  I got some vanilla ice cream and root beer today.  It just sounded good and both ingredients were on sale so I couldn't resist!
I like your poem.  It's simple but the picture it creates in my mined is beautiful!  We'll have to create the real picture together someday.
I'm still wondering what to do with quite a bit of stuff here at the apartment.  I brought my plants home from class last semester.  I have no clue what to do with them.  They'll probably all die now!
I'm feeling much better today.  I felt a bit sick during clogging but anyone would with all that dancing around!!  But I'm completely better this evening.
Well, I need to do a few things before I head for bed and it's getting later than I thought it was.  So I'll go for now.
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!

Love for Time and all Eternity
Jane

(there were two letters in the envelope.  I evidently didn't get one sent before I wrote another.)

Dearest Brian,
Another day of classes is over.  Just 38 more days and I'll be in your arms forever.  I can hardly wait!
I'm going to go ahead and put a phone in.  I go nuts without it.  I promise I won't call you more than what we've agreed to!  This way you can call me instead of having to wait for my call everytime.
I haven't done much with the apartment.  It's kind of a mess but I just haven't been in the mood to finish putting stuff away.  I also don't know where to put it all!  Oh well one of these days I'll get into a frantic cleaning mood and everything will be spotless!!
How do you like our pictures?  I think they turned out good.  I like our portrait better thought.  I mean for an engagement picture I like the portrait better.
I got my work schedule today.  I have 12 hours a week scheduled so far.  My schedule is-
Mon.- 4-6pm
Wed.- 5-10pm
Thur. 12-2pm
Fri.- 4-7pm
I'm happy with that schedule.  I'll have to get someone to work for me Friday the 14th since I'll be in Portland but that should be no big deal.  We're always trading hours with each other.  I'm glad I don't have to work Saturdays!  My boss asked if I wanted to work on Sat. and I said no.  I also don't have to work mornings which makes me VERY happy!  Now we can stay in bed until 8 every morning!!  Sound like fun? (oh, calm down!)
Anyway!
I got my paycheck today.  I didn't pick it up before vacation.  So that was a forgotten and unexpected $100+ to put in my account.  I still haven't been able to pick up my financial aid money but it should be ready by tomorrow.  I hope it is.  Money is getting tight without. it.  I haven't even bought my books because I don't have enough money.  Sad situation!  But like I said I should get the money tomorrow so no worries!
Well, that's about all the news for today.
I miss you a lot.
I love you even more though!

Love eternally,
Jane


Dear Jane,
I Love You!
Today was a very long day, as are all the days going to be this week.  Today I got a nice thing in the mail.  Even though it wasn't from you.  I got the Living Scriptures first package.  We have just finshed the first two tapes of The Golden Plates they are great!
Me and my mother had a long talk with your mother today, things are not well in your familys home.  I just wish there were more that I could do to help.  If you haven't spoken to your mother by the time you read this please call her.  I would tell you but its not my place to say.  I want you to know that no matter what I do that you don't like, I would like you to tell me.  Anything.  I want us to be abel to talk to each other about anything at all.  Weather it be small or large, dumb or smart.  And most of all I would like us to be each others best friend for always.  You are now my best friend, my love, my light, my hopes. my dreams, my everything. my always.

Love Eternal
Brian
