All Things Woompty

There's no you and me, just we

Februarium Entry #1: Who You Love

Kevin-

I'm sitting in a big squooshy bed, laptop in front of me and the Hollywood sign visible from our 17th floor balcony at the Westin Century Plaza. I've got an 80 minute massage scheduled for this afternoon, and life is good. But it's strange being here without you. It's the first trip I've taken without you since we met, the first hotel that I've spent the night in without you sleeping next to me in two and a half years. I miss you.

People on the outside might think we're kind of boring, I know. But I love being boring with you. I love getting up and going to breakfast with you and knowing what you're going to order. I love sitting in our armchairs watching bad movies and providing commentary while the cats sleep in our laps. I love the fact that you do my laundry for me when I get so busy that my head doesn't stay on straight. I love our roast chicken nights and grocery store trips and conversations that don't make sense.

And I love the fact that I have you to come home to every day, every night. I still get a little amazed when I think about how we found each other, the way things fell into place for us. I'm so glad to know that I'm done, that I've found the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with, the one I will get old and cranky and gimpy with. I can't wait to marry you someday, but you already knew that, just like you already know that I'm completely weird and a little crazy and more than a little neurotic and love anything that's pink and fluffy. And yet you love me anyway, weirdness and neroses and craziness be damned.

And you were right, tossing my own words back at me when I was panicking about the car repairs on Tuesday....it is "we" now. And I love you for giving me that.

Love, Me
