Thank you for #11

Today is Rick and my 11th wedding anniversary.

I wrote a long story of the wedding here and here.

I couldn't write it again much better than that.

So today I celebrate my husband, 

without whom this partnership wouldn't exist.

Thank you

for laughing when I'm not funny

and saying, "It'll be OK"

when I feel sad.

 Thank you

for taking care of me when I'm sick

and putting up with the mood I'm in when I AM sick.

Thank you

for being the best friend ever,

sharing common interests

and common stories.

Thank you

for listening to me talk for-ev-er about beads

and not falling asleep.

Thank you

for greeting me each day with, 

"Hey, gorgeous!"

when I don't feel that way.

Thank you for 11 years.

Thank you.
