My boyfriend and I went to Frenzy and then had dinner at The Mule. We got done and went for a walk in downtown. We came across the adorable arrow and discovered the post cards. I kept walking, but he stayed back, with a sly grin on his face. I stayed ahead of him for a bit, waiting on him to finish what he was doing. Well, the next couple days, he kept checking the mail frequently. By Tuesday, I had a cute Edmond postcard from him, saying he loved me very much. I love sending mail to people so that made it even more adorable.
