Many nights spent dreaming of her hand in mine
Fitting us together as the passing of dawn and dusk
Perfecty she smiles and the feeling of eternity
Sweeps my soul into the place yearned for and always wanted
The favor of her heart's delight motivates to climb the highest mountain
To pass through the sorrow of a day without her company's comfort
To be reunited each evening with the hope of a few pure moments together
She is the power of my existence
The passion of my persistence
And the reason for which I feel this
Purely ,powerfully. Persistently I will LOVE her

6 weeks to 10 years
this week's entry is a bit different from the norm, in that it is not in a letter form, nor a poem. it is in the form of a pamphlet-just like those missionary discussions we used to teach way back when:)so, yes-he took the time to make a "special pamphlet" for me.
entry #5 june 25, 1996
Title: New Study Guide #1 for the Sinners (did i mention how compassionate he is?)
Question: Have you written your missionary this week? (again, i never said he was my missionary)
It's true, not all the world chooses to follow Jesus. The first step is repentance.(remember, he's chastising me for not writing him-whatever) The second step is to obey all of God's commandments.(hmmm, funny-i don't recall writing to mason as being one of those commandments)And the third step is, sacrifice brings blessings. We must be sincerely ready to give all that He asks...like writing Elder Patterson. (uh, ok) The 2 greatest commandments: Love God, and write to Mason. (the first one yes, the second one is questionable...)
this guy's nuts! ...or am i nuts? afterall, i married him:)

7 weeks to 10 years
in honor of valentine's day(i know,how fitting:),i thought i'd share one of many poems that mason's written for me through the years.
For some love is not so simple as they complicate their lives
Believe it ever changing like the seasons as they rise
Or as the old tree climbing, reaching for the sky
But in me it is different, so let me tell you why
Love is what surrounds me with every breath of air
I feel the sensation growing as each moment I meet the dare
Filling my every moment with riches of love's care
Many will ask themselves, was there really anything there?
So what is the secret, you may ask, to find these feelings too?
Look as I into someone's eyes and find your love returns to you
Never forget that a life alone was never life at all
Your heart be filled with thankfulness as it continues to fall
For my life without you is not a life. You are why my love is true
I am the most blessed man alive because you fill my life with you
happy valentine's day.

8 weeks to 10 years
it has been fun(mostly)reading these "love" letters from mason and maybe, just maybe, i did love him all along??? oh well, only time will tell. in the mean time, here's another one for you.
entry #3 dated May 3, 1996
Dear Melina,
Hey cutie pie. How's it going? Me, I'm doing pretty good but of course I am because I know everything. It's hard to be perfect but I do it so well.(did i mention how modest he is?)
Thanks for the letter. You should write your missionaries every week though! (i never said he was my missionary!)
Anyway, you are really going for the mission-that's awesome. I don't know if you will be able to not see me for that amount of time but hey, you can always dream about me! (now, HE must be the one who's dreaming!)
I hope everything goes well. I hope you know how much I love you. Really I do...(he does have a soft side:)
I know you can be a great missionary or anything you want, you have a wonderful spirit that is why I love you so much. (he CAN be sweet:)
Do well, prepare fast and eat a burrito for me!(no burritos in france for this cali guy)
Love,
Mason
hmmm...perhaps i did love him all along after all...

entry #2 dated march 7, 1996
Dear Melina,
Hey, if you want to go on a mission go for it. If you wait til you're ready, you'll never go!(he CAN say nice things:)
My handwriting is really bad isn't it. (he CAN admit to the truth)
Hey, try not to lay in bed at night thinking about how handsome I am!
as you can see, his unending charm just keeps pulling me in and i can't help but fall for him over, and over, and over again!
