It was PERFECT – You Were PERFECT

This is officially the first time I wish this wasn’t a “anonymous” forum.  I’d give anything to post your picture from last Friday night.  Nothing has ever been more beautiful, more amazing – more perfect.

I made sure I told you this face to face before I posted it to this blog, but it needs to be said again.  Friday was one of the best days of my life.  Having you with me in Orlando was amazing.

My day went well.  My presentation went better than I could have imagined and my peers all told me so.  I finished in time to meet you at the door (while you hated your flight delay it really worked out for me).  I was glad I got to be the first to see you.

The girls caused some drama, but even that worked out.  I think I was able to get through to them what we had been trying to say for a few weeks.  Simply put – their mother is an amazing parent.  Even more simply put – she deserves every ounce of respect they can must.  Even more simply put – they should do it because they appreciate everything you do for the and not because they thought they were in trouble.  And finally – as the person who loves you the most I will accept nothing less than perfect treatment of you as their mother.  How they have missed all those points over the years I have no idea.  Youth is clearly wasted on the wrong people.

But what came next will remain on of my best days ever!

Seeing you in that dress, with that hair, with those eyes and with me was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  Walking down the hallway to the elevator I was actually “giddy”.  How could someone so spectacular be with me?  It boggles the mind.

Even better was just how amazing you were with my co-workers.  You were so comfortable (even though I know you hate that) meeting people.  So charming talking to them.  So lovely in every way.

I felt most proud to have so many people tell you how much I talk about you.  Tell you how they know how in love I am and how many of them have wanted to meet you for some time to “see the person I go on and on about all the time”.  I hope that made you feel amazing.  There is no exaggeration there sweetie.  I literally tell everyone about you.  I always have.

While dinner was nothing short of “school cafeteria food”, you remained charming and funny throughout the meal.  You literally entertained my co-worker whom you barely knew.  But you made him feel comfortable at a time when he felt kind of out of place (he is new) and he appreciated it the whole time.

Finally, you helped me and my friends close out the whole gala and even the “after party”.  So even though we walked away with you shoes in my hands, your legend grew all the same.

On Friday everyone I know found out what I already knew…..I have the best wife ever!

So you were perfect.  Perfectly beautiful.  Perfectly elegant.  Perfectly charming.  Perfectly funny.  Perfectly well Perfect.

You’re the world to me.  I love you more than anything in the world.
