Last night got so hectic that I just decided to not write.  But I am here in my office before 7 so I can afford the time, and I have some feelings that I would like to express.  Today we will be having a new furnace installed.  (She won't let it be a birthday present though!)  We had planned for a furnace check-up and ended up buying into a whole new thing.  What he said made sense and our's is a 1994 model and Sheila has been concerned with our power bills for quite a while.  Anyway, that is not really the story for today.  The story is that it is her birthday, and my feelings for her, my wife and best friend.  Not only did we spend a couple of hours with the 'furnace man', Sheila had her Relief Society 'five minute talk' and when she finally got home after 10 I was anxious to sit down with her and hear how it went.  Short story-it went wonderfully!  She turned the whole meeting and got warm fuzzys from the sisters.  I went over to the church then and found 4 sisters still there and they expressed that same sentiment for me to tell Sheila for them.  I have been pondering on her ideas during the night.  It is a wonderful and quite sophisticated truth about the 'sweet peace' that comes from the 'gospel'.  I was happy to be taught by her wisdom.  Now here it is, her birthday.  Hopefully the tearing out and installing in won't be too disruptive, and my plans for her birthday will please her.  As we discussed this whole new furnace thing we see it as another part of a wonderful 'divine signature' that we have received.  All of the great truths she spoke of last night are very real in our lives right now.  It seems a very special time for us.  I know that mere words are inadequate and my actions need to express the truth of my feelings even moreso, but to say it still very important  So Sheila, my wife, my cobber, my partner, my 'co-experienced warrior':  I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
