Just four months after our wedding, he was gone for a half a year. We wrote volumes and volumes of letters, and grew closer than ever through those...just as you did.<BR/><BR/>We also spoke into tape recorders and sent the tapes, since phone access was limited.<BR/><BR/>I loved how you both made those cards and were so creative with the magazine ads...wonderful!<BR/><BR/>And I so agree what you said about marriage!<BR/><BR/>Blessings!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932066100979969014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954183568187404211.post-18114403310956131482007-08-03T15:36:00.000-06:002007-08-03T15:36:00.000-06:00What a wonderful post and what a treasure those le...What a wonderful post and what a treasure those letters are.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.

Jim and I only knew each other from September of one year before we were married in March of the next year. We didn't get to see each other that often before we married because he lived 200 miles away. But we did write letters. I still have all my letters also. I love them to this day. My kids were making fun a while back when they were looking at them and I had signed my name with Your friend, connie. That was in Septerber before we were engaged in December. That is what he was at first. Now days, it seems people want to skip the friend part and go right to the sex before marriage. We didn't "know" each other before marriage in the bibical way of knowing but we knew the desires of each other hearts our likes and dislikes. Our convictions and what we believed. Great times!! and they only have gotten better down through the ages.lol connie<BR/><BR/>P.s.
