| Mr. V just left the house to buy wood so he can build me a window seat where I can read. Swoon. And when he goes out, he calls to ask if he can pick something up from the store for us. And tomorrow, while I’m out wedding dress shopping, he’s taking Pumpkinhead and a friend out for lunch and a movie as a reward for Pumpkinhead’s AWESOME report card (Mr. V’s idea!). Obviously no relationship is perfect but, wow, looking back at this time last year and at earlier years’ diary/blog entries about Chapin and the way he treated me (and, yes, the way I let myself be treated), I am so thankful for my life right now and the man who is in it.
“When two people are in a relationship with both of them with their feet in, you share the common ground of each other and have each others best interests at heart. You bring out the best in each other, and are yourselves, warts and all, and you grow together rather than grow apart.” ~ Baggage Reclaim
