Happy 129 months to my loving, wonderful wife. For the first time in a long while, I feel as if my life is going in a direction I want it to go. I have a terrific job (for now) writing video games, I'm writing regularly at home, I'm working out every day, and I have you - my love. I know the world can change. I can lose my job in a heartbeat. I could end my gym membership. I could stop writing (although I imagine I would have a lot more free time if I didn't go to the gym or the office). But I know you would love me and support me, holding me over until things stabilized again.

I love you.

For my love, happy 128 months of being married together. I love you, and I'm excited to start working next week in my new job. Thank you for being supportive in the five months between the end of my last contract and this new opportunity. You reminded me not to panic, not to get ahead of myself, and to never stop trying despite a job market that was barren as the desert. And now, I writing for video games. Thank you for being my love and my pillar.

To my love, happy 126 months of being together as husband and wife. I want to thank you for being kind and reassuring while I ride out the end of my 100-day break between contracts and as I look for new work. I know I couldn't do this alone, and your support and love has made this insufferable patch a lot easier. I love you, and I hope we are always together.
