He's Pretty Great.

Sundays are typically fantastic; I attend church, catch up with my family and friends, and Bryan and I take an extended nap together. But when I have too much "reflection time" it's not a good thing. My mind begins to race and I think of how many puzzle pieces I have, and how many I want to have, and how many pieces I thought I should have by now. And then there's this looming Birthday I have coming up. And on my Birthday I look at a master list of THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE that I created years ago.....Do you see how it gets to be a tad bit much? Ugggghhhh I'm a piece of work.

Luckily for me, my sweetheart is always up when I'm down. He can perennially talk me into smiling and being my regular happy, glass-half-full-self. And fortunately enough, I'm up when he's down. I don't know how the universe manages it, but our entire marriage has magically continued in this pattern. In his fruitful efforts, Bunnie said something significant to me last night,

"We may not be exactly where we thought
we'd be at our age. But what is great
about us, is we haven't abandoned our dreams.
We still have the courage to go after them.
Someday reality will catch up with our dreams,
but in the mean time we're still happy."

He is so perfect for me it's scary. We are soul mates, and I'm thankful I found such a wonderful man to spend forever with. By no hands of chance, he makes up for everything I lack. And I make up for everything he lacks. And together we create an unstoppable rebel force. Hooray for true love. Hooray for marriage. Hooray for an amazing husband.
