Time Out
I took a time out today. I didn't even ask. I just walked away. And you let me.
I should have taken a nap (I needed one), but I didn't. I was dumb and took the computer and watched Bones. But even though it was dumb you still let me and didn't even come question me when you saw I had taken the computer.
Thanks, John.
Thanks for giving me time and space whenever I need it. For letting me use time or waste it. For loving me and not criticizing me.
I love you.

#5 What is your favorite quality in your spouse?
You don't stop. You're determined and keep going. You don't allow other peoples' attitude's, perspectives or criticisms sway you. You are steadfast. Sometimes I get discouraged, but then I look at you and see how firm you are and think "we'll be just fine".
Thanks:)

Senses
#4 Describe something you love about your spouse using each of the senses.
Sight: I love seeing you with the kids. Wrestling on the floor (and couch...and, well, it doesn't really stay in one place). Walking along holding a little hand. Coming in from the store, kids running in front of you to bring me the flowers you brought me.
Sound: Growling. I love it when you're happy and playing with the kids...and we know that as to involve growling:) Or the other day when you read Go, Dog, Go to Drake and throughout it all you'd ask him to point out this or that as it was described...loved it! My heart just melted:)
Taste: Your food. Peach chicken with white sauce on pasta. Teriyaki chicken on rice. And scrambled eggs with toast-because that's what you make when you make me breakfast in bed.
Smell: You. Your sweat? Your pheromones? Whatever it is, I like it. When I hug you I smell it. When I fold your garments I smell it. When I scooch up to you in bed.
Touch: Kisses on my cheek. I remember during the paper route when you'd get home (or when you left...or both?)...but you'd give me a kiss on the cheek. Those kisses are perfect and lovely and so full of love and happiness that I can feel it spilling over into me.

Number 3 of 30
#3 Your favorite body part of your spouse's and why.
I think you've heard my say it before-your backside.
Yes. I never understood why it was an attractive feature on anyone, until you. It's like the perfect shape and so muscular and tight.
I get it now, I really do.
Maybe that's why I always want you to get tighter pants...

You took me HERE
That is where we went today.
Thank you.
Seriously.
Thank you!
THANK YOU!
I can't describe how wonderful it was and how grateful I am and how thrilled I was to get to go with you. Thank you so much, John.
30 Things...
So...I was giving that list of 30 things a closer look and most of them you can't really transfer over, so I'm making up some of my own!
#2: 5 Things I've Learned From You
1. There is a happy place in between uptight perfection and giving up. As MacDonnell would say "the perfect is the enemy of the good". Whether it's in keeping the closet clean or making dinner or decorating, just because it's not perfect doesn't mean I scrap the whole thing. Even more beautiful is the emotional application of this.
2. You Hold On. You keep moving. I guess it goes back to my idea of perfection. Life won't always be just the way I think it should be-I still need to hang on! After your mom's death. Through my depression. Through all the Virginia licensure frustrations and now our move and certainty of what comes next. You inspire me. First it was just getting through, but recently you started telling me how you decided you were going to be happy. 'Come what may and love it' comes to mind.
3. Light and strength can be found in non-traditional places. I think of Metallica...and KT Tunstall-and now Fight as One (Avenger's intro by Bad City).
4. How to cook rice (and to love it brown)!
5. Love is never wasted. I'm impressed by your continual love and concern for your sister. I would say that you forgive her genuinely...but I'm not sure would even think she needed to be forgive by you. I'm still learning and am grateful for your kind example.
Thank you!
