An excerpt from the latest Joel Letter Aug 22. 2009 :)

He read something called "If You Want A Thing Bad Enough" and switched it up a little :) 

Here Goes:

"If you want a girl bad enough
to go out and fight for her,
work day and night for her,
give up your time and your peace and your sleep for her,
if only desire of her makes you mad enough never to tire of her,
makes you give up all things tawdry and cheap for her,

If life seems all empty and useless without her,
If gladly you'll sweat for her, fret for her, plan for her,
Loose all your terror of devils and man for her,
If you'll simply go after the girl you want,
With all your capacity, strength, and sanity,
Faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity,
If neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gaunt
Not sickness nor pain of body and brain
Can keep you away from the girl you want
You'll get her."

"There are alot of crazy things headed our way baby love.  You'll got full time school plus work and I've got this mission.  But I'm gonna do everything this little quote talked about and more to make sure you're MINE! :)  I love you with all my heart and soul babe and I'm trying super hard to show you that by workin' my tail off and coming home a stronger, wiser, funnier, goofier, happier, taller, paler, and ahem...sexier ;) guy than I left that my heart is on lockdown for you and only you, sugar.  I gotta go study now, babe.  I can't wait to get a letter from you, hopefully tomorrow!!  Love yr guts babe, heart and soul, head to toe.  I only wanna be with you, Nikki.  A letter every week and a spank on the cheek ;)

Love,
Your Husband,
Joel xoxoxooxx <3

Isn't that rad?  Yeah, I know what I got and I ain't gonna let this go :)  Guy friends, take heed.  When you find a girl you can't stand to live without, and she makes you want to become a better man for her, you've found what true love is.  I hope you all find that really soon :)
