Dear Kip,

Another month has come and gone and I didn't take a picture of us together.  That is crazy to me, but when I look at the month, I also guess it is not surprising.  You were in Mandan October 1-4, I was in quarantine October 3-18, you were in Denver October 14-19, and you were in Mandan October 29-November 1.  That did not leave a lot of time for us.  

But even though that did not leave a lot of time for us, you made time for us.  Thank you for your quick visits while the kids and I were in quarantine.  Thank you for grocery shopping for us during that time (my mom thinks you are a keeper since you asked the kids for a grocery list, not just me!).  Thank you for taking the time to have real conversations with me after work.  Thank you for saving shows for us to watch together (and for watching the Big Bang Theory after watching Evil so I do not have nightmares).  Thank you for your good morning texts and your quick phone calls while you are traveling.  I know that those are just normal things that you do, but they are not my normal so I will tell you thank you over and over and again.  Thank you for being you. 

Love you always,

Brandy Lynne
