Top Ten Lists from Steve

Steve used to make up Top Ten Lists a la David Letterman. I used to print them out and keep them on the fridge. Eventually they got replaced by tons of pictures of us gallivanting around and having a life.When we were dating, these things kept me in stitches.

Happy anniversary, honey. I tried to make my own Top Ten list this year, but I find I haven't the creative juices for it. All I know to do is make every decision based on what you would want - you took such good care of me. So I sent myself flowers. And I'm getting a mani/pedi later. And I'm going out for a nice dinner and drinks tonight. But I missed you so much. Which is good because that means I have so much to miss.

I love you.
