How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…or embarrass the both of us…..

ElRey and I celebrated our birthdays recently. Yes, you read that right. His is the day before mine and although I don’t appreciate someone taking away from my special month day, we always have a great celebration for our birthdays. I am 364 days older than ElRey and like light years older in maturity. Totally.

As I was laying in my bed trying to fall asleep the other night, I was lost in my thoughts of how lucky I am to have ElRey for a husband and best friend. It has inspired me to do another list.

A list of love.

I’ll wait while you go vomit….

• He lets me rub is back, legs, whatever is needed any time I want.
• He cooks for me on a regular basis and does a better job than I do.
• Sometimes he goes to bed so early, it feels like I am staying up really late when it’s really only 9:37-time to fit in at least one more meal before my bed time.
• Even though I usually have a book in my face, he still thinks I am the prettiest thing on earth.
• He laughs at my jokes.
• He thinks my blog is the coolest thing ever and tells me regularly that he wishes I would post daily.
• He let me beat him at FARKLE today.
• Today he was saying how frustrating, loud, disobedient and mean the girls are being and and when I said “I know, this is how it is every day!” His reply was, “It can’t be like this every day! I am so sorry! No wonder you can’t wait for school to start!”
• He tells me he loves me 472 times a day!
• He actually takes me seriously when I tell him to not let me eat too much or eat certain things, tries to stop me and then believes me the next time I say it even though I nearly bit his head off for telling me I really don’t want to eat that cookie the last time.
• He’s really good at math but apparently him tutoring me in math for my class is some sort of foreplay and it takes us 1 and a 1/2 hours to finish a 20 minute assignment.
• He still loves me even after this:

• He still loves me even after posting this picture on my blog. (Yeah, this’ll be my 3rd time…can’t get over that hand placement, I tell you!)
• He makes it possible for me to have a lot of fun with friends….maybe a little too much fun with friends…hopefully none of that stuff ends up on the internet…
• He rides the tumultuous waves of mommy dipping into the ‘crazy juice’ a couple times a week month and survives it. It’s like watching Point Break with Keanu and Patrick, I tell you!

The list really could go on for pages! I hope you all are as lucky in love as I am and if not I hope one day you will be, and, no, having a ‘relationship’ with that life-size cardboard cut out of President Obama you own does not count. Kissing a cardboard hottie does not love make!
