17

I have had a major fun with this one guy for 17 years now!  Let me tell you, this dude is super cool!  As a friend, he's witty, funny, sometimes provocative...but that's his trademark.  As a confidant, he's a good listener, a great companion, never fail in comforting.  As a husband, he's sensitive, a highly rated Mr. Fix-It, can be a good cook, loving, compassion, adorable.  As a lover he's...(hey! hey! hey! no details! ...okay...nothing to see here people...move along now!).

So, we've been dating each other since 1993 and now...after 17 years, and after 5 years of marriage, and having produced one 7 months' old adorable little man, we still go for date nights at least twice a month.  Must keep the fire burning and sparkling..that kinda thing, you know.  We layed out our obligations for each other, we managed to meet half way and agreed to what's important, what needs to be parked on the side, and what needs to be sacrificed (I'm still praying and hoping for the day he'd put off his ciggies and said "that's it..I'm done!" though).

Well, I'm up for many more decades with this bloke.  It can't get any perfect than this.  On the other hand, it's not perfect.  It's just right.

So, to my Mr. Right...put your goggles on and let's buckle up for yet another one of life's roller-coaster ride.  Rock on, Honey!  Woohooo!!
