Food Network

Yes, Food Network is on my television. Another day in Eureka CA. Winter has come early and the rains have started. This will be my second winter here. The tip of my nose and the tips of my toes are consistantly chilled. I watch food network today because I am going to plan a delicious meal for my main man when he gets home from work. How domestic of me! I may even sweep the carpet and do our laundry. Ben, my husband, willingly takes the trash out, shakes the rugs, and cuts my cantaloupe without any hesitation. He is wonderful!
Because you see, since we aren't just dating anymore, my shaving cream on the floor of the shower, and his leftover carrot shavings in the sink become both of our issues. This is something I love about marriage. My mess is excepted because he loves me and I love him. They are minute details of a household that should never shake the foundation since they can in fact be put right.

Lately I can sense he is a bit antsy. He needs to get in the water. My husbands true desires lie in waves, surfing, top sirloin, the history of pirates, heady beers, and Me. Maybe I can place myself at the top of that list because they, whoever "they" are, say that you can tell a man loves you by the way he looks at you. Ben looks at me with a soft and deep notion that seeps with infinite love. It is quite beautiful really. And as much as he loves surfing or a good brewskie, I am his never too choppy, never closing out, and never to foamy...wife.

You have a very nice page going there Justine. Thanks for sharing it. Im glad I remembered the address. It was great seeing you guys last night...as always. Every time we hangout with you guys and then we leave Cassie and I always say to each other "I love those guys" You guys are great company and I am so glad you and Cassie met. You're probably the best thing that Cassie took from working at the spa. She is always excited about things after you guys meet. Thank you for understanding her because a lot of people dont get her. she is a special person. We will have to get together again soon. Take care
