Love
February 13, 2008
With Valentine’s day approaching and everyone running around trying to buy last minute gifts, it can be real easy to get caught up in the hype that the day brings. I myself do not care about gifts but do like the idea of spending the evening with my love. If we get no other day that month together, we should get that one, right? But why restrict it to just one day a year? I love my baby with all my heart and soul and tell her daily. I would love nothing more than to spend quality time with her every day for the rest of my life. Should I save those just for Valentine’s day? Should I save a special gift, trip, or card for just one day a year?
There is an old adage that states something to the affect that tomorrow is not guaranteed so we should spend each day like it is our last. So why not make every day Valentine’s day? I would hate to die tomorrow without having told my love that I love her with all my heart and how much she means to me. I would hate it even more still if I did not get to spend some sort of quality time with her the day before. If I lived today like it was the last, I would hold my girl tight and remind her why I love her so much. Remind her how important she is to me. I would show her how much I truly love her.
I love love. It is a great force. It can bring down a kingdom, force men to go to war, and more importantly, motivate the heart. With a force like that, what can stop a man?
Opposites and Compliments
January 13, 2008
I hate pretzels, grape flavored anything, and most caffeinated beverages. I love lemonade, Cheese-its, and lasagna. Tiara loves pretzels, Grapico (grape soda), and Pepsi. She hates Cheese-its, lasagna, and is not a fan of lemonade. We both like Doritos, Starburst, and orange soda.
I could go on and on about the things that which I like she hates or which I hate she likes. I could also go on and on about the things we both like. I could include our shared interests and different interests, or our idiosyncrasies. When it all comes down to it, we are opposite in many ways, but they are compliments to each other. We also have many things that are alike between us. I think this is what makes our relationship so strong: not only do we have opposite tastes, but we also have common ones. So we can still be ourselves and enjoy each other at the same time. It is amazing how well we go together. Like the missing puzzle piece in each other’s lives.
I love how much she ‘gets’ me; we are such compliments, that I do not have to explain anything I mean when I talk to her. I love it.
