Happy Valentine's Day

[olmue]

Okay, so it didn't end up being a very celebratory day what with everything going on, but I am glad I'm married to such an awesome guy. Shortly before dating DH, I was dated by a guy whose idea of a good time was going to basketball games. Um, if you know me at all, you'll know that this is not the way to my heart. He was a nice guy, but he simply didn't get how important things like writing or art or research or books were to me. It was just a cute hobby. He didn't get that all that is ME. So when DH and I found ourselves together at Shadowlands, a movie about CS Lewis, it was almost instant that I knew that this guy was the right guy. He got the things about books that you can't even speak about, the spaces you can only inhabit with another person if they know how to get there, too. He's not an artist, but he takes my art-ness seriously. He values my brain and education. He values my writing, even though I have precious little tangible success. And, of course, he takes me to live in interesting places. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I'm glad I did!

We think your husband is a very awesome guy also. We also think you are a very wonderful daughter-in- law. But we really think your children are the best.

LOL--you are welcome to come and play with said children any time you like. We will take the chance to go to Sweden in that time. :)
