thanks for the toothpaste

on my toothbrush today, and every day

thank you for always folding 

the white load of laundry

for making killer omelettes

for being my GPS system

my geography teacher

my DJ

thank you for making me laugh so hard

that I have to drop to the ground

to save myself from utter embarrassment 

thank you for making me travel

for making home feel exotic

for driving around the block one more time

so our date can last a little longer

i had no idea

marriage was going to be

such a blast

My Happy Place

The Lava Roll

on a Saturday night

Married to the Market

One of my favorite things about my sweetheart is that he never brings work home with him.  I'm married to a financial advisor and I have no idea what the DOW did today, yesterday or even last month.  When he walks through the door at the end of the day he steps effortlessly back into the roll of husband and father, cook and math tutor.  His warm embrace is all the assurance I need.
