"Out-of-the-Ordinary"

These days, I must say our life is a little "out-of-the-ordinary." But it seems to me that with all of the curveballs and the unorthodox living arrangements, we have learned, grown, and laughed more than ever. Each day, you teach me something new about myself or about life or about the world. Each day, you inspire me to think outside of the box or to dream a new dream or to taste a food I've refused to taste.

I've always wondered...and continue to wonder...about this thing they call the "seven-year itch." But after two years (and a few months) of marriage, I still come running to the door when you get home from work, I cannot wait for the moment when you wrap your leg around me at night, and I still get butterflies when you imitate me with that stupid voice that sounds nothing like me.

I want you to know how much I appreciate your patience ... your affection ... your honesty ... your respect ... your protection ... your loyalty ... your strong will ... your excitement for life ... and these days more than ever, your humor. Thank you for making me laugh. For making me crack up. I have had the best time just laughing outloud with you during the past few months.

Love ya.
