This week D turns 47.
Every year, I compose a letter to my kids on their birthdays, but that would be too hokey for the husband, so I thought I'd do a "Things I Love About My Husband" list.
I briefly considered "47 Things I Love About My Husband" but that is far too mentally taxing. (There also might not be 47 things.)
What I do love about my husband is that he makes me laugh.
One of my habits that drives him batty is that I start a sentence and fail to finish it. I suspect this is because I'm usually juggling 20 balls in the air at once (mine, N's, G's and M's).
He told me I'm like Darth Vader.
I guess some wives would find this insulting, but I thought it was really funny.
I love his weird dreams, too, which he can't really help, so maybe I shouldn't give him too much credit for them. The other night he had a dream that he was putting a diaper on one of the kittens, but the only thing sticking out of the diaper was the kitten's head. At the end of the dream he got so frustrated he went "Aghhhhhh!" and woke himself up.
I love it that my husband leaves me alone.
I probably would not have written this when I was in the "newlywed expect-to-be-up-in-each-others-faces-all-the-time" stage, but I really appreciate that he isn't clingy and doesn't call or text me unnecessarily (ever). He just sorta lets me do my own thing.
I appreciate that he realizes when the Netflix queue has been too dude-heavy.
After a run of What We Do in the Shadows, Ant-Man and Chappie, he suggested I check the queue to pick some things I wanted to see. I didn't dislike any of those films (and actually really dig Marvel films), but it was nice of him to remind me to pick some more literary fare for our viewing pleasure. This past weekend was Terminator: Genisys, so I've got like 3 lined up.
So what is that? Four things.
I'd say that is pretty good for a Monday and 18 years of marriage.
