Nowadays...it seems like everyone and their bother have a blog. After looking into "blogging" I have discovered there are endless reasons for starting a blog. For me, at this time in my life, I find myself in a position of wanting to remember the little details of my life. It seems like most of my life, as I look back on it, it's stamped out with memories of major accomplishments. Things like the day I graduated from college, my wedding day (both of them), the birth of my children, job promotions, the loss of loved ones...and the list goes on. My wife, Heather is the best at taking in the little things. She always finds little ways to show me she loves me, and to make sure I know she is thinking about me. There is no other better example of this than my lunch letters.
The name of this blog came from something that my wife started doing for me a couple of years ago. Each day, my wife packs my lunch for me to bring into the office. I rarely go out to lunch. It costs WAY to much money to eat out everyday, and I have found that during lunch, the office is much quieter, and I can get more done between 12 and 1 than I can in most of the morning. Each day I dig into my lunch pale to find a hand written note from my wife. They are always different, and they are always relevant to the things taking place in our lives. While some are more clever than others, they never disappoint. My lunch letters are definitely one of the little things that I have come to cherish.
I have come to the point where I can no longer continue to stock pile these napkins. Imagine, one note a day for two and a half years...Every Single Day. That is nearly 700 napkins that I have in my possession now! For some reason I can't bring myself to throw them away.

Maybe this will give you an idea of where I'm going with this. Some notes are sweet, some notes are sassy, and in times where we may have had a disagreement...well...you will just have to see how those go....As for my wife, she will not be aware of this blog. The reasoning for that is because I don't want anyone thinking she is in on this.
