thinking a lot about my husband today. we will have been married 6 years ago in april. today i took my ring to the jewellers. a few years ago we bought a warranty for the ring so twice a year i can get it polished and re-plated (something that is necessary for white gold) when it comes back, it will be like new. i think marriages could use a lifetime guarantee for re-polishing and re-plating.
having a baby sure does a number on a marriage. in good and bad ways. of course, there is the middle of the night war over who is going to deal with the whimpering child. the war kind of looks like this - "i will lay here really still and pretend that i didn't hear that". then she moans again and the cycle repeats itself until one of us caves in and takes care of this beautiful gift that is awake at 2 in the morning. the positives are too many to count - i love watching shawn play with emma. he has his own little way with her and she lights up every time she sees him.
and i... want to light up every time i see him. even after 6 years of seeing him everyday. still saying thanks and please, and i love you. delighting in the fact that he is so excited about his new mario game and that right now he is in his own little world of gathering coins and conquering colorful planets. this is my husband.
so, everyday i want to find ways to polish our friendship and romance. i have to confess it might be hard to compete with the little mario who just earned some kind of propeller on his head - but i will do my best.
to marriage...
