My funny Valentine

Today is Valentine ’s Day, and, since our anniversary is 12 days away, we don’t make a big deal of the day. A card and chocolates, maybe, but no fancy dinners or anything like that.

However, since it is Valentine’s day, I’ll post something in honor of the occasion.

Some tidbits about my husband:

On the weekends, he doesn’t want me to leave the house until immediately after Bean goes down for a nap. That way, his actual solo time with the baby is kept to a minimum and mine is kept at the maximum.

BUT

No one loves that baby more than he does. She delights in riding on his shoulders and helping him with his computer, namely by ripping the keys off the keyboard.

He almost always ends up falling asleep with his right hand on his right cheek. You have a 50% chance of picking which one.

He never brings me roses , not because he’s a putz, but because he knows I don’t like them. He scours multiple florists to scavenge enough yellow gerbera daisies to fill a vase, knowing that they’re only going to last a day or two, because he knows they are my favorite.

He watches me undress, not because he’s a perv, but because he waits for me to wiggle out of my pants. It’s unconscious, the butt wiggle, and not at all flattering, but he loves it.

He doesn’t like leaving the house without his wedding ring on.

He loves me, for all my faults and imperfections. You know, all two of them.

...

I love him more each day. His is the face I want to see at the end of the day. His are the arms I want around me, and his are the cheeks I kiss every day.

You have a 50% chance of guessing which ones.

I love you, honey.

I should do the same. I have a 50% chance of actually doing it.
