Anniversary Present 2017. 10 Reasons. Reasons 3.

In every relationship there are "little things" that become part of your "relationship DNA".  The kind of things that you do regularly, keeping doing and then realize that if they don't happen there is some kind of void.

Now let it be know that these little things come in all shapes and forms.  Some are actually big things and some are so inconsequential you hardly know they are being done.  In almost 3 decades together we have had many "little things" come and go.  That is what happens over a near lifetime together.

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things" - Robert Brault.  I think he summed it up my love.

So Reason Number 3 is - the "little things".

I am not 100% sure to do this, some are just a list and some need brief explanations.  So this will be the "random approach" to your blog.  Here goes:

* Thumb wrestling - I mean what better way to start a marriage than with some fine thumb tumbling in front of a judge?
* Holding hands in the car
* You reaching over and running your fingers through the hair at the top of my neck while we drive
* The kiss on your shoulder in the morning when first get out of bed
* The never ending need to be touching somehow while we sit on the couch and watch TV
* That "place" on my face you touch so often, like no one ever noticed that place before
* "Goodbye sweetie, I love you" every morning - even when we are mad at each other
* Phone calls and routines pre-flight
* Writing "I love you" with your fingers on each others arms
* Being the back-up singer - even if I play lead guitar
* Keeping score in a book
* Rhyming games
* Smiles - just when you need them most
* Days when you know I won't want to turn down the bed with all those pillows
* Saying "I love you" more than any couple in history - and meaning it every time
* That white "robe" thing you wear when you get dressed
* Our shows
* Movie quotes
* Memorable movies
* Blackhawk games and both being big fans
* Red Badger underwear
* Your endless little jokes - consistently funny and always expected

I know there are more.  Many more.  But you get the point.  We have so much more than a relationship together.  We have a life together.  A loving and amazing life.  One I wouldn't trade a day of for anything.  So every day has become a "little thing".  A perfect reminder that we will always be together.  Happier tomorrow than we were today.  Because that is how we roll.

We have DNA together my love.  Woven into a perfect marriage.  Into perfect love.

So happy "almost" our anniversary my love. Just 3 days to go.

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