happy 19th anniversary to us!

picture perfect bunny and other pretty things

after losing her gorgeous sister earlier in the week, i appreciate peaches even more.
tho' i don't actually know if she is a she or a he.

i might have accidentally let snowy and samba spend some time together today. but it was only because snowy keeps pretending to be pregnant. she pulls out all her tummy fur and makes a nest and then nothing happens.

it was 15 years ago today that i met husband for the first time. but i'll admit that due to my lack of acquaintance with the domestication and grooming standards of the danish male, i actually thought he was gay. turns out he was just pretty (and not at all gay, tho' that's likely too much information). and he actually gets prettier all the time (even if i do say so myself). kind of like this bunny, actually.

Great Love is....

~ staying up late arguing about discussing the muhammed cartoons because after five years, there's still something to discuss (and you think freedom of speech doesn't mean you HAVE to speak).

~ still sharing dreams after 12 years.

~ fighting off an overwhelming urge to kiss even tho' you're standing in a canteen full of 1500 people at work.

~ knowing which task is whose (laundry: mine, garden: his)

~ making one another laugh.

~ when your heart still skips a beat when you catch sight of him across the room.

~ horrible dreams of mangled plane wreckage when he's away.

~ ok, i have those dreams even when he's not away, and they're mostly about me, but i'm never hurt (tho' often strangely wearing rollerblades) so it's ok.

~ being one another's closest confidant.

~ him putting up with all of your whims.

~ you putting up with him putting away the dishes as if he doesn't live here (he never learns and frankly, you've got to remember to be grateful he puts them away at all).

~ late night discussions of evolution, sociology and political science.

~ funny text messages.

~ building something together (literally, out in the garden).

~ a shared history.

~ finishing one another's thoughts.

~ there still being surprises after 13 years (who knew husband took a photography class?)

~ not remembering precisely how many years it's been (12, 13, whatever).

what's Great Love in your world?
