Rocks and Rockstars

I am so lucky to have something that nobody else does.

Yes, him.

AND..

That big rock.

Just a short post about love and marriage.

I LOVE Love!

Well, I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. I did. My husband got home early (think 7:35pm) and we enjoyed a hot dish of stir fried veggies and fish with rice and split J's V Day gift from me... Coke in a glass bottle.

I don't know if its the blog world I've emersed myself into, or if its the industry in which I work, but I was a bit more excited for the love day than usual this year. I'm usually of the "If you love someone, everyday should be a Valentines Day" boat, but this year the thought of spending time making cookies from scratch, picking out that perfect bottle of Coca Cola, and cuddling up with my husband was exciting for me.

Because yes, if you love someone, you should show them that you do every single day. Why would you save all your love for one day? But sometimes it's nice to have that one day to dedicate to love. Because no matter how much we say it, it's always nice to hear.

I'm not saying you have to break the bank. Shoot, I bought my husband two $1 bottles of pop. There are so many ways to celebrate love than spending money. Sometimes it's just nice to know there is love in the world. So I wore red yesterday in honor of love.

PS I love all of you loyal readers for reading my droning on about love, and other things. If this post was just another Valentines Day mush to you, Happy 364 Full Days Without Valentines Day to you!

Love & Marriage

Tonight was "Spouses Night" at Det 90 (Jon's ROTC detachment here at Colorado State). Spouse night is an optional event for cadets and their significant others (I was the only wife!). There is a panel of Air Force Spouses, and tonight we had a couple who were BOTH in the Air Force (yikes!), a wife of one of the Captains at the detachment (who is a personal trainer; I obviously attached myself to her), a retired AF Officer who has been married for 52 (!!) years, and a retired AF Reserve Officer and his wife.

We were able to ask questions about what it is like moving every few years, how it is being a spouse to an AF Officer, what it is like raising Air Force Brats, and basically whatever else you can think of. It was really nice hearing about how easy it will be to be a personal trainer on base!

All the marriage and family talk reminded me of my absent husband (who was working to bring home the bacon) and how lucky I am to have him. I could not be happier than I am when I'm with him. So this post is dedicated to my wonderful, loving, caring, funny, sweet, handsome husband.

(Hopefully that didn't make you TOO sick to your stomach)
