Hi! I was reading the Japan Update, and I came across the section of Q and A from you. Well, it inspired me to write you to tell you about my weekend/day. Well, I am a military wife, and I have been married for 2 years (this past Feb. 15), and I have a ten month old son. Just like many newly weds coming overseas for the first time, this past year has not been peaches and cream. If there is any luck, it has read me like a warning label, and stayed clear of me!! Any way, for Valentine's day, my husband took me out to dinner to a restaurant on the third floor of the Plaza Shopping Mall. Then, he got me a diamond ring for Valentine's Day. At first, I was kind'a bummed, there not being any family here to watch my son, it would be hard to have a romantic outing with my husband. But, my husband proved me wrong! We had a wonderful time-child in boot! The next day, I had a car accident and totaled my car. The accident wasn't my fault, but I still felt pretty bad! All through this, my husband was great. So, yes, I can say that some flames that we thought was gone, (even for somewhat newlyweds) were rekindled. We didn't have sex enthralled love machine making, but we was able to show each other how much we love each by standing by each other and helping out and showing an understanding of each other and each other's roles in our daily routine. What we learned and gained this past weekend could never take the place of a million diamond ring!! I love my husband and I always will! Maybe I was just us tired of the same ol' and wanting something different, or maybe it was the crab we had that night, or maybe, just maybe it is in the air here in Okinawa that just puts that special touch in everyone's hearts all over no matter race or origin!
Sincerely, Beth

Wow, well since we only had room for one, that is what makes the world go round. I was glad to see your date turned out nicely. Just because you have children doesn't mean you can't have a romantic evening, unless they scream the whole time. At least you have the diamond ring to be grateful for. Things happen sweetie. We just have to pick up and move on. You'll make it, I can see that. Enjoy your husband, he sounds really great. Women if you have a man like Beth, don't see him as "too nice." Usually, we tend to miss out on the good ones and wish we had them when we meet Mr. Wrong. Don't let a good thing go Beth. I'm glad you are ok.
