Note from the wife

I guess she gets me, found it this morning. Apparently, it's out 7 year dateiversay. (like Anniversary, only dating).
Guess she knows me well enough to know that I'm not taking the car to the office...

I'm confused. The subject says "Note from the Wife" but you're not actually married? Jump in. Make the commitment. And make sure the cake topper has the groom on bicycle. Something like this. :-)

I bet they are married now but dated for years. My wife and I were the same way (began dating 11 years ago, been married 6).

Seems like a keeper, @wsgts!

That thought didn't cross my mind. I'm a dense guy. Thanks for the education. :-)

I think its really cool when dudes refer to their bikes as their wife. Seven years strong and she still looks as clean as a whistle! That's loyalty for you.
