My time with Kevin

Kevin and I have been married for 9 1/2 years, and it seems we never have enough time together.  We went on a date a couple of weeks ago, but that seemed so short.  When I'm working all of this overtime, he is both Dad AND Mom to the kids, and I get home, exhausted, and fall asleep.  The little moments that we cherish are few and far between.

Now, though, my OT seems to have ended.  I am going to work at a normal time, and getting home on time.  We are talking and laughing and watching TV.  Our computer desks are 3 feet apart, and the kids are happy, so we're making the most of the night.

We are both surfing www.findvideos.com and having a ball.  He listens to rock and heavy metal, I listen to country.  We take turns playing a favorite, or new, video.  It's an even trade.  He plays some that I hate, some that I find interesting, and others that I think I could listen to on a regular basis.  He is appreciative of MY music, and really enjoys some of it, while tolerating others. 

We have laughed, grumbled, and had a blast.  Love means never having to make excuses for your taste in music, right?  Gosh, I miss Kevin.  This is nice.  It is reminding me why I married him.  He is funny, kind, and unique.  Here's to you, honey!

He sounds like a keeper!  I'm glad he knows that you're a keeper too...that's getting kinda rare these days.

Yeah, I think you should keep Kevin.  Has it really been 9 1/2 years?  WOW!  I remember the first time you brought him home to meet us:  he was a bit shaggy-looking, but he made points with me by volunteering to carry wood down to the basement for the wood furnace.  First impressions are important!
