Wedded Wednesday: He Is The One?

As I get ready to celebrate my second  wedding anniversary next week, I thought about how did I know that Mr. J was " the one"? No, it was not the fact that we dated for almost a half century. No, it was not the fact that was lived together for several years before we got married. I knew that he was the one when:
  • He continued to put up with my crap.
  • He was supportive when my grandfather died.
  • He took over most of the finances without expectation of it when I got laid off my job.
  • He took me around his family for holidays.
  • He listened to me complain about my clients at work.
  • Helped me take my micro-braids out.
  • He made me laugh when I had to have dental surgery.
  • He made ice packs for my arthritic knees.
  • When he stated the he would do anything for my mom.
  • Went and got me chicken and noodles from Bob Evans when I was sick.
  • Listened to me whine when I did not want to do something.
  • Continues to go to my favorite Mexican restaurant even when he wants to eat some where else.
  • When he turned the TV off, instead of complaining about the electric bill when I fell asleep without setting the TV timer.
  • When he told me he loved me and could see us growing old together.
I am sure there are many more things that let me know that Mr. J was the one, but these were the ones that stood out for the moment. I am sure that this list will grow and change as we grow and change in our marriage. I am happy to be Mrs. J and I am glad that I found "the one" for me. What made your hubby "the one" for you?

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
