With crystal clarity, doubtless certainty, absolutely present frame of mind, I know to what breadth and depth and measure that my love for My Love truly is . . .
it is depth beyond greatest depth, breadth surpassing greatest breadth,
its measure is beyond any measure of finite Earth or mortal realm . . .
my love for My Love, it is unbounded, immeasurable, limitless . . .

(To the Readers: I wrote this philosophic-poetic piece a few weeks ago, the week before our anniversary, and never posted it. Sometimes I get creative like this. I lost another longer piece which I was more pleased with. I wrote it on a white-board which got erased before I could post it . . . my fault for procrastinating.)

Happy Anniversary Honey! :-)
Woohoo!!! Seven years and counting with my beautiful bride. She's beautiful, talented, smart, passionate, and has blessed me with two fantastic kids. She is my one true love. I can't think of anything better than being with the one you really love, and I am. God has been truly good to me by putting us together.
To my amazing, wonderful, most adorable, and ever-loving wife:
I would not trade being your husband for anything. You are my dream-come-true. Being married to you is the realization of my deepest desire. With all that you are for me, I could not ask for more...
Forever and always yours,
t.h.

I miss my Honey like Pooh-bear misses honey
Shawna's been gone to a big scrapbook industry convention for for days now, and everywhere I turn, everything I see, everything I hear, I'm reminded of her. Aidan keeps asking when she'll be home. Katrina wishes she could have gone with her (mainly because it's in California).
I miss her voice, I miss her beautiful face, I miss her scent. I even miss doing all the little things she so enjoys, like rubbing her feet and pouring her a Pepsi. I find it hard to get to sleep at night without her presence, I need her so. Sure, for the most part, life has been pretty calm and quiet (especially over the weekend while Katrina was gone, too). But without Shawna's exuberant self, it just seems way too quiet. Right now it feels like it's been four weeks, rather than four days.
She's having fun, and I'm glad for that. She's even gotten to meet a couple big names in scrapbooking. I just hope that the rest of today and all of tomorrow go quickly so I can see her again.
Longingly,

Time is a funny thing
The kids and I have a lot of time this week, since all of us have Spring Break at the same time. But my Honey is a regular Girl Friday for her awesome boss. She's a get-it-done kind of person, who does whatever it takes. Oddly enough, even bouncing between two locations because her boss is away for a bit, my Honey hasn't been gone any more than regular. It's been nice actually having her home at a more predicable time. We've been able to all have dinner together, catch up on our favorite shows, and make some progress on picking up the house (and on a couple favorite video games).
It's odd that this time revelation comes the week we had to spring-forward our clocks, but there it is. Usually the time change doesn't seem to affect my Honey and I much, just having a little bit of trouble falling asleep for a few days, and being a bit tired from getting up "earlier" than we're used to. This time around (I think in part because I've been off of school for Spring Break) we've been sticking to the hours we were used to. It was weird for me to realize that we were staying up until 12:30 am or later. I think I started to feel tired after I realized the clock time, when I was pretty normal before.
I don't think my Honey has been as affected by it. Sure, she sometimes doesn't go to bed until she's already fallen asleep at her computer or in her chair. I often start to get drowsy long before my night-owl Love. There are times it bothers her, and she tells me to go on to bed. It doesn't matter to me. I don't like to go to bed without her, it just doesn't feel right. It's like when she's got a late-night event or when she is away. I just can't go to sleep. I feel like I need her. It's not as simple as just being used to her being there. My Honey is a big part of me, of who I am, what I am, what I'm becoming. I need her. I'm not me without her.
I am so glad to be married to someone so very special.

What a great relaxing day :-)
Today, almost all day, we just kicked it around at home, just my Honey, our kids, and myself. We tried to go to a great breakfast restaurant, then another, and then a regular restaurant with a decent breakfast menu, only to find that they all had waiting lists going out the door (and a light mist descending all the while). After a frustrating search for a breakfast place, my Honey had the brilliant idea that we should just get donuts, go home, and get cozy. It has been one of the most relaxing days we've had in a long time. Just enjoying each other's company, the plentiful leftovers and snack food, and a great video game we're all stoked about.
It's great to see my Honey relax, she works herself into exhaustion so much of the time. It's in her nature, she won't quit until the job is done right. When she takes a day off, like today, it's good for her to totally unwind. She and the kids spent pretty much all day making funny observations about the game, playing off of one another. It was just an enjoyable day all around.

Fiesta Night!
Now that our cable-TV provider finally has Fox on the line-up again (which I am sure was thanks to the Superbowl being on Fox), we get to watch American Idol as a family again! So tonight, it's a finger-food feast, with some of our darlin' daughter's delicious home-made salsa, chicken three yummy ways (just nuked by hard-workin' daugher as well) and some home-made tortilla strips by yours truly (which I've got to go make right now.)
More later,

I appreciate...
...my lovely Honey, her creativity, and all that she does for our family;
...our fantastic daughter and her limitless personality;
...our terrific son and his total genuineness;
...this great land we live in (currently blanketed in snow hereabouts) and the opportunities it allows;
...the gifts and talents God has blessed upon each of us.
My Honey had to work this weekend, and I know she is a bit taxed by it, but I know in my heart that the rewards will come. She's putting herself out there at bridal fairs for the community to see what her store can provide. The bridal fairs ought to bring a some business her way, and the exposure ought to bring more. I just hope that it won't be too wearing on her, so that she can enjoy herself a bit this weekend.
