Project 365. Day One-Seventy-Five: To Have and To Hold...
Today (the 28th), Jason and I celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary.
And, after 2 years, this is still one of my favorite wedding pictures b/c the photographer caught us in a moment of pure joy and laughter--the definition of our relationship.
Close-up:
Since I find myself speechless right now, I'll leave you with a quote that perfectly describes our marriage...
"Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open."
-George Bernard Shaw
Here's to the next 50 years of you sleeping with the window open and me sleeping under a mountain of blankets. I wouldn't have it any other way.
ISDLY Hubs, I really do.

Project 365. Day One-Seventy-Four: It's the most wonderful time of the year...
This time, 2 years ago, Jason and I were at our wedding rehearsal. It was like this grown-up version of Christmas Eve, except better. I can't believe it's been 2 years !
Now, I'll stop while I'm ahead... afterall, tomorrow is like Christmas (except better) anyways.
Today's Highlights:
1) Ricky's weekend visit
2) The most intense male bonding/cat nap between Hubs and Kitchen Spices (aka Paprika)that I've ever seen
3) ATTENTION: The kitten (Ridley) and the little kitten/little mister/ little sir (Paprika) started PLAYING TOGETHER as of yesterday and have done well all day today !
4) Introducing mom/dad/adam to Paprika
5) Seeing how much Jason likes Paprika
6) Knowing tomorrow is our 2 year anniv.
7) Going to church w/ Ricky and crew
8) Everybody Loves Raymond
Dear Husband, I restrain myself from professing my love for you (and for our marriage) too much here and now b/c ...well...I'd be typing all night and day (and I'd rather save some love-gushing for too-mato). Can you believe it's been TWO YEARS ??? I'm so happy, and honored to be your wife. I still can't believe that someone as wonderful as you, asked me to spend the rest of my life by your side! Since you look forward to our anniv. more than your own birthday (which is incredibly sweet btw), I hope I can make tomorrow as wonderful as you deserve it to be. I cannot thank-you enough for what you've done for my life/our lives. Thanks for being my best friend! Have a extra happy Monday, and Happy Anniv. Eve (that's for tonight) and HAPPY ANNIV. (that's for tomorrow)!!!
--Your honored wife
*It's strange how words seem to lose any element of strength or adequate depth when telling someone how much you love them.

Project 365. Day One-Seventy-One: The new little mister...
So, my Hubs is amazing. Fact.
And, kittens make the world go 'round. Fact.
And, early anniversary presents are awesome. Fact.
We'd talked for a little while about the benefits of Ridley having a friend that she could rough house with that was more her size. And, I' vhbn (sorrry, those typos are curtousey of the little mister) ... I've always loved orange tabbies and black cats (and, I was missing half of that pair :) ). Plus, I've always wanted "sibling" kittens ( or two of the same age that could grow up together).
Consider yourself justified b/c after that list of justifications, you should be!
I'd thought for awhile that IF(if, meaning I didn't think it was a possiblity in the near future) we ever were to get another kitten, I'd want it to be an orange tabby. However, this bundle of fluff's fate wasn't sealed until a certain Swayzzles made us kind of love him, a lot. And then it was hopeless. So, it's kind of Auntie Karen's fault :)
Nonetheless, I'd like to officially introduce you to....
Paprika !
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
So far, everyone is doing their best to adjust. I like to think theres a steady stream of progression being made (especially on Ridley's part).
3 bazillion paw prints for further adjusting !
Today's Highlights:
1) I'll give you a hint: it starts with a "Pap" and ends in a "rika"
2) A mid-afternoon rain shower
3) Ridley workin' hard to get to know her new brother
4) Fuzzy's for dinner w/ da Love
5) Trying desperately to make this blog post with the assistance of a kitten (typing, pawing, pouncing, meowing...)
6) Slumbering kitchen spices of the kitten variety laying over my arms while I type my last few sentences
7) Having a husband who loves me endlessly
Additional Facts:
1) The picture was taken with my webcam b/c I didn't have my camera handy
2) The little sir doesn't like holding still for pictures so I have some more blurry ones to post later
3) It has taken me a grand total of 40 mins to get to this point in my post due to all the help I was receiving.
4) Kittens have very warm bodies, and fluffy tails.
Dear Husband, tomorrow is FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY! So, happy letter to you! Thank you for not being allergic to animals and for actually having a love for them. I think I'd go bonkers if you got the sniffles at their sight. Thank you for helping me keep what's "just enough" and whats "too much" nailed down. If we were cheese (silly, right? I don't mean to offend you), we definitly would not be Swiss b/c where I have holes, you fill in the gaps--I like that! You keep my head on straight and when it's a little off kilter, you help me count my loose screws. I'm so thankful for your ability to keep me grounded.
Dear Little Mister Papi, and Riddles McSkittles, keep up the good work! I know it may seem awkward now but, I have high hopes that you guys will be good friends. And, if this isn't the case, humor me.
Dear Auntie Karen, I'm workin' hard on that make-up, and am really enjoying it! I'm also CRAVING one of those magical sammiches from the Newsroom! Please place one in an envelope along with yourself, and Swayzzles, and hit the mail immediately! :)
Dear Husband, who--besides deserving two letters-- needs two b/c I forgot to write your Monday letter.... Do you think that baseball game is still going? Do you think there are still people at the Fuzz watching with tired bums ? Lets become sports announcers together, kay? Love you more than a million boxes of free kittens and puppies!
