Dear Terry, This was the longest email that I have ever received from You, that means cruise works good for You, You have time for relax and enjoy life. I'm so happy You are there like You wished and I hope You are going to spend great time up there, meet many interesting people and come back home with lots of good memories. The poem that carla send me was really nice, I felt like I was reading A Valentine's card, think Carla felt absolutely loved when she got that to read. I'm impressed. Congratulations Terry! I think we should leave decision to send the other poem up to Carla, maybe one day I will read it with her. I was sure I would be still working, maybe I was too sure, next time I won't be. But I have others reasons not to go to US, not now, I want and have to finish my English classes ( I go there twice a week) and I wish I would pass the FCE exam in May (starts in May 24th till June the 20th). After I achieve my goal and still have no job, than I can come, because I wish to see You again. That would be really great, live and work with Carla, I'd love that, especially If I could help her, hopefully she won't get upset with me after some time living together.;) I remember Mose Lake as a nice place, I could go there with You. I have always wanted to have a cat, so if I stayed at the office that would be good for me also. Believe me, I would like to come, but first I have to finish what I have finally decided to start, I mean I wish to get this certification of my English, I need this, and I feel mad when I think that I could have get that so long time ago, but time passed. I would be honored to become Your matron of honor on this day if carla decide that too. You are right that should be her decision. I feel touched by what You have written about how does Carla feel about me, as far as I remember just when I got to know her more I started to love her like a Mother or like older sister. She is that kind of person that can not be unliked, that's what I think, she is so kind and concern person. The picture on Your screen shouldn't be seen by Alena and Charles, Carla is right, not now for sure. When You begin live together than it would not be a problem for anyone. I wish I would feel this love that You had written about, I think I have to become more mature for it. I have started reading nice book "the surrendered wife". It's really good although I don't understand all of it I keep reading. It is more about respect to a husband, understanding and toleration for others disadvantages. I enjoy this book , I'm on page number 30 and I have already liked the author'a way of writening. Keep that way Terry, relax and have fun, You deserves all the best. I keep praying for You and Carla. Love You, Ania
