Recipe for a Relationship Cake

Okay people,
here's how to make a fantastic relationship cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 365 Farenheit or 24/7 Celsius.
2. Take a big bunch of sticky-bun dough (made of 100% double-sided effort and love)
3. Sprinkle in a little sugary forgiveness.
4. Add a dash of powdered humility.
5. This might seem contrary to most recipes you've used, but do NOT add any peppered gossip.
6. And be sure to totally omit the smelly judgements.
Bake year-round.
ENJOY!
Now srsly.
We live across the world from most of you. It's not like we are sitting here all day twiddling our thumbs. In fact, the stress, work, tasks, callings, and time Luke spends away from the family have only increased. Calling works both ways. Most everyone has caught on to this revelation. However, there are still some of you (that probably aren't going to read this) that complain and whine to others how much we don't call and how annoying it is to you.
(btw, you might wanna stop the smack-talk because, unfortunately, it always gets back to us)
Well, you have a phone, don't you? Pick it up.
Check out this website:


And call us.
If you insist that it's up to us to do all the calling, think about how many others it's also up to us to call. We'd be on the phone all day, every day.

Not gonna happen.

And hearing smack about us not calling doesn't make us all warm and fuzzy to call you :)

After 30 years of life, and 7 years together, we've finally realized that's impossible to please everyone. Yay us. It's liberating :)

So, happy calling to us all and to all a good...er...cake?

I dunno

Hi. I like you. I haven't called either.....and probably won't...but I still love you, and like to check in on you. Kids are getting big! Do you miss it here still? Because here misses you:)

YES!!!!!! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! oh...and I agree with you:) So here's the conclusion I've come to about this whole thing..and the trash talking: Anyone who spends that much effort making things worse doesn't deserve the effort anyway. In the long run, I'm not looking for much in a friend. 1) A friend must be rational. 2)A friend must be willing to be honest. 3) A friend must give as much as take.

Miss you guys,
Love you guys,
J

Oh, and by the way...I recommend "Penny Talk" for international calls. I put 20$ on my account over a year ago, and still have 300 min available. It lasts forever, and the reception is really good.
