Sex Appeal

My love, this is THE post that likely needs to be censored for adult content. But here goes.

I was thinking today that it must be odd for a husband to still have such strong desire for his wife after more than 20 years together. In virtually every movie you see couples who for one reason or another find a new shiny object of their affections after that long. And somehow, the movies make it seem normal or common. So likely that is the norm and what I feel is the exception.

I walked by a lingerie store today and all that really struck me was, "man I should go in there and buy something 'sexy' for my wife". Then it kind of occurred to me that it really would be more of a gift for me and not for you, so I just kept walking. Of course, I have now spent the past 90 minutes thinking how amazing you might look in whatever I was going to buy. And likely it is what got me thinking.

I still think you are sexy, you have an amazing sex appeal about you. Proper curves. Perfect smile. Crazy sexy eyes. Alluring scent. All the things I find attractive. All things that are "just you". It is often a bit overwhelming for me. But I guess you know that better than anyone.

So I guess it shouldn't surprise you that I constantly want to touch you. Or that I always want to kiss you and that despite your objections I can't just have it be a "kiss". My hands roam no matter how hard I try to have them not do so. When you are as attracted to someone as much as I am you, you really can't control yourself. I swear.

I, of course, blame you for all of this. It isn't my fault, it's yours. And thus you can't get mad at me if I pout when I can't have you. You put me in this situation. All on you. You are the elixir I need.

So there you have it, it is how I spent the past 90 minutes of my day. "Thinking" of you.

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

Waking up with you....

We are on a streak of sorts. I have not really had to travel to any extent since about November. That means that pretty much every mornng I get to exerience one of my favorite things in the world.

Being home is awesome. We get to eat dinner together, watch all of our faorite TV shows and do al those things toegtehr that normal people get to do all the time. But my favorite part of being home with you is and always will be my ability to wake up in the morning with you no more than an arm's length away.

You always are so soft in the morning. You always smell so good in the morning. Your eyes are always so amazing in the morning. It is really your best time of the day (which is pretty amazing comsidering how awesome you are all day!).

I love that we still snuggle with each other in the morning. So many times we just find a way to hug or hold each other. We always make sure that we can touch the other - even if it is just a touching of our feet under the covers. Just being near one another is the best part of the morning.

Think about how many times we woke up at 630 or so and still find ourselves laying in bed when Regis and Kelly finally come on the TV. It is 2 plus hours of us jus being together. Sharing our time together. The time passes so quickly, but it is so perfect.

We have even had afew days in the past few months where we found ourselves still in bed well after 10. Then we panic and question where the day might have gone. But who cares, we spent that awesome time in each other arms. Is there any better way to spend a day?

The morning is currently my favorite part of the day. I look forward to waking up just to spend that special time together. It really sucks when i actually have to get out of bed for some work related reason. But lucky for us those days a few and far between.

I am suddenly wishing it was time to go to bed, so we can start the waking up all over again.

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

My Best Friend

Today's blog post is going to be the shortest ever. Because i want to make a simple point and make it very simply.

It dawned on me the other night when you made me laugh out loud that I am a very lucky man. I have someone to make me laugh right next to me all the time. Someone who makes life fun. I have a best friend.

I am so lucky to have you as not only my wife, but as my best friend. And frankly since I have so few friends, having the best one right next me every day is a real gift.

People like to hang out with their best friend. I am always hanging out with you.

People like to share everything with their best friend. I share everything with you.

People like to laugh with their best friend. I am always laughing with you.

Thanks for being the person that I am not only in love with, but also my best friend.

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

Dream Girl

I want to start this off by simply saying that I am feeling so in love with you the past week or so. Not that I don't always feel in love with you, but there are sometimes that it is a quite compelling feeling. The past week has been one of those times. I just really like being with you right now. I can smell you when you are not near me. I can feel you even when you aren't there. You surround me - and it feels really good. I love you.

So I know you don't like it when I simply find song lyrics that remind me of you as blog entries. It does seem that when we are in grooves like the past week, that songs seemed to make themselves present to me. This week is no different.

I heard this Dave Matthews song that almost made me forgive him for dumping on the city of Chicago. It has so many lyrics that truly remind me of you. Rather than just post the song, I figured a few snippets wouldn't hurt. right?

The song is called "Dream Girl". In all honesty I don't know how it have avoided me for so long.

"Still you’re my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love after a deep sleep
Where I was Dreamin’, I was Dreamin’ of a
Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl"

So fitting. He has another verse where he says "after a good, good joke" as well. How fitting is that for us? Having fun together and joking around are staples of our relationship. You are my Dream Girl.

"Caught by a wave
my back to the ocean
it knocks me off my feet and
just as I find my footing
here you come again
Dreamgirl, aww Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl"

Not matters what hits me you are there....my Dream Girl.

The song is classically Dave Matthews mellow and passionate. You should certainly listen to it when you get the chance. I think he wrote it just for us.

My Dream Girl.

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