My Husband...

We celebrated 14 years of marriage this past June and let me tell you it's been a crazy, fun, wacky and exciting ride. Oh, there are definite times when it's been hard and trying, but the cool thing is that we'd gone through it together.

I think about my relationship with Michael practically every day. I hope that's a good thing. Because he is the sweetest part of my life, and there is definitely no one else who could understand me, put up with me and spoil me all at the same time like he does!

One of the things I think about when my thoughts are toward Michael and/or our relationship is that he makes me laugh sooo much. There are too many days where my stomach aches just from his being silly, imitating me, or just being the man I love in his uninhibited ways. I just love that I am the only one who gets to see this silly side of him. Though once in awhile it will come out in tidbits to those closest to us.

The laughter doesn't come from jokes or punds or even story telling but...Oh, I don't want to give his secrets away...So I'll just say from his own personality. And what a riot he is!

It is not only the laughter that makes our marriage wonderful but the fact that he reminds me that he is mine and I am his and we are stuck with one another. And then the Seinfeld mushiness comes out...Like my swoopie, my smoopie but we have our own names for one another but I can't divulge that information. It's top secret.

And of course, there are a zillion other things that make our marriage work, endure and amazingly wonderful. I just love to love him and he loves to love me and together we will continue to grow old together until death takes us both. But until then we still have a lot of living to do together and crazy adventures to enjoy with one another and much laughter to be shared between us.

Thank you, Michael, for being my amazing husband, my lover and the other great half of this beautiful union.

I love you, Stripe.

Your Yellow.
