So, my friend Becky has been writing about marriage on her blog and posting wedding pictures for me. I've been asking to see them for YEARS (about five, actually), and she looks every bit as beautiful in them as I expected. Posting the pictures made her a bit introspective, I guess, because she posted her 15 marriage rules. Since Timothy and I don't have any marriage rules (apart from, if you notice another woman and are stupid enough to mention it to me you WILL DIE--I have some serious jealousy issues), I thought I would mention the fifteen or so things about Timothy I treasure most.
1) Sex. Let's just be honest here. All those women Dr. Laura quotes in her books who act like sex is a chore I just really do not understand. Isn't it the whole point of marriage?? Ahem, aside from companionship and raising offspring and yada yada.
2) His hands touching me. Pretty much anywhere. I'm a physical touch kind of girl, and Timothy has the most beautiful hands.
3) When Timothy puts his arms around me when I'm doing the dishes. Sigh.
4) Hugs.
5) Kisses.
6) Cuddling in bed at night. Or on the couch. Or anywhere.
7) His hands. It's my list, I can write it as many times as I want.
8) Holding hands.
9) Timothy touching my face. Ahh.
10) Timothy making funny faces. I've learned, since being married to Tim, that if your mouth is about 3/4 of your face--you can make some INCREDIBLY disturbing faces.
11) Timothy helping me with all the projects I create for myself--like building a tree on the wall, for example. Once he's on board, he just goes all out and it is so much fun to see the end result.
12) Being in the temple with Timothy.
13) Watching Timothy hold my children. There are some things in life that are just as heart-stopping the 5,000 time as they are the first.
14) Talking with Timothy. I know, some of you would claim that Timothy doesn't talk--but that has never been the case with me. Not since the first night we met and we talked until 4:00 am. Timothy has a very interesting mind.
15) Falling asleep while Timothy serenades me with Danny Boy on his Irish Tin Whistle.
16) Timothy's hands.

I think #15 is my favorite...but also every single "hands" comment - you dirty bird. Sorry to go on and on - with the pics and all the stuff going on lately...I just can't seem to get my hubby off my mind. Thanks for the nudge with the pics - I need some introspection. Lots of love and best wishes for continued good sex (you make me laugh)...becky
