:: still counting sleeps until our getaway…looking back at all those 7,665 days…them all piled up into the 21 years spent learning to love each other well…
still so, so much to learn…
still thinking about my post last night…and the 26,645 days…the 73 years my little gramma has loved her honey…so, so well…
so many years…mine just a drop in the bucket!
hoping and praying my loving him well resembles hers more and more as the years keep going by…
dear birthday boy o’ mine-all-mine,
happy 40th birthday to you!
my honey!
my lover!
my very bestest friend!
the one He purposed just especially for me!
oh, how ever-so grateful i am that you were born!
oh, how ever-so utterly i adore you!
you’re my very favorite!
very sincerely,
me

:: in 43 days…my honey’s taking me away for 5 (alone) days!
something we haven’t done in over 7,665 days! (just a wee bit excited!!!)
i think i need my kiddos to whip me up one of their fabulous “only this many more sleeps until…” paper chains today…
dear honey,
guess what i saw today…
a duster!
‘member that one first date…
when you patted that bench seat right next to you…
and invited me to scooch right close?
i miss that bench seat…
very sincerely,
me
dear honey,
heading out today, you paused at the door…your one hand grasping your laptop, the other fishing for keys in the drawer…
and you did a lil’ wiggley-jig with your leg!
incredulous, i inquired…“what are you doing?!?”
unabashed, you replied…“checking to see if my wallet’s in my pocket.”
you…like no one else!
very sincerely,
me
dear honey,
i was disappointed in me today.
so i sought you out…you focused on work at your desk…
and i leaned right into you…
and i rested my head on yours…
and i just…was…for a minute.
and then you whispered…“i like you.”
and it was the very best thing you could’ve said…
and it was the very best moment of my day…
and, oh…how so very much…i like you too!
very sincerely,
me
dear miss christa,
as we posed…and you peered through…you said, “no one makes her laugh like you do, jason!”
oh, how very…oh-so-very…true!
these past 20 years have been full…
some climbing up mountains…some limping through valleys…
but all the way through…still and forever…he makes me laugh…
like no one else…
thank you, dear christa…especially…for these…
very sincerely,
me
dear honey,
‘member when we were just babies…
…and we had a baby?
and then…we blinked…
and we weren’t so young anymore…
and there were seven more…plus that one?
what a lucky girl i am! to be growing up alongside you…
what lucky little people they are! the luckiest little people there ever was…
to have a daddy like you!
happy…happy…father’s day!
very sincerely,
me (for all of us)
