Year One as the Cronks

Jeff wrote this note to Lisa to encourage her on her first day of work as a professional graphic designer. Lisa has spent the past couple years in school to earn her degree in graphic design, so landing her first professional job was really significant! Jeff also writes at the of the note that he'll clean the kitchen when he gets home, which interestingly shows the nature of their married life: just as he encourages her at her job, he is her partner in the house duties as well.

Lisa shows her love by words of affirmation, and a way she loves Jeff is by telling him how she feels. She writes notes to him and posts them around their apartment. Lisa also enjoys to draw, so she sometimes leaves small drawings to accompany the message on the notes. 

Here is a Post-It note that Jeff wrote for Lisa. In it, he calls her his queen, and the mention of the strong southern accent most likely references an inside-joke between the couple as neither of them have especially strong accents. Lisa was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and Jeff was born and raised in upstate New York. They have both lived in North Carolina since 2006.
