Five years may not seem like a lot-- especially when I expect many, many years to come-- but it is nice to think we really have done so much, and come so far.
So here is an Ode to the King of My Heart: (and a wifely apology for not additionally marking the occasion with a blog post sooner)
He's Chivalrous, which means he leaves you the last bits of the thing you could have eaten all of...
Thoughtful, which means getting flowers for my sanity can often be on his to do list... (please note this is very important)
Involved, a real family kind of hero
Good Humored, which implies a great deal of perspective, as well
Provisory, making everything a safe place for learning and living well, for myself included
This year he asked me if I wanted to go to Michael's Divine Dining downtown. Our favorite and our town's best kept secret. Yes, lets.
- I was able to wear the black leather jacket he got me for Valentine's Day :)
And you've got it, I couldn't help but take a picture of some of our food. --does that make me a mom, through and through? Just wondering. But Jake said he'd go back for lots more mussels any time.
[For Appetizer: "Tarragon Mussels"]
[For Dessert: "Ice Cream Sandwich;" but remarkable, wouldn't you say!]
And a secret between you and me, I felt so special that night (Sharon babysat) that I darn near cried twice to the restaurant and back.
We held hands.
Hugabun. I would say Yes again in a heartbeat.
Because I want to hold hands with you forever.
