Thank you everyone!

I went home last night and told my wife. She was SO happy! She started jumping up and down on my bed.

haha

It was really cute!

Wow. I'm still on a high. Every day I check my mail hoping to find a letter and then yesterday I was just about to leave work and I check my email one last time and see that letter.

It was so cool.

Anyway, Im rambling. Thank you everyone!
