Dear Beloved,
Thank you for saying 'I do' four months ago today. Thank you for going to Costco and putzing about with me tonight. I know you hate it. Thank you for the 14 minute head and neck massage tonight, even though you said you'd only do it for 5 minutes because you wanted to watch your show. Thank you for being you. I'm a lucky gal. Very, very lucky. I know it.
Love,
Me
P.S. Eid al Adha Mubarak to all of my sisters and brothers on this planet. May Peace be upon you one and all.

Very sweet. You are deserving, as he is too. :)

Aw, I love you guys!
Happy Anniversary!
Can you please translate the quote for those of us who are ignorant, or is it a secret?
I loved Ed's comment about "Katie Katie, or Katie from your blog?" Do you ever wonder if he thinks we are make-believe buddies, like the imaginary friends that kids have when they are little? As if we have a whole life out here in Blogistan, and it's a kind of parallel universe? I wonder if people think that about blogging.
I am so glad that Katie is real to you, even though you haven't met in the flesh. It seems to me that you know her on a very significant level, and that makes my heart happy. Thank you!
Blessings & love to you, sweet friend.
I love the love you have found in Ed.... and I love the love Ed has found in you.
That is such a beautiful, wonderful blessing for you both.
It makes me smile, sitting here in my office (with 2 puppies at my feet!) on this chilly December morning. :-)
PS: On an unrelated note, I was worried about you last night when I heard about the plane crash in SD - I said to my husband "Oh no! I hope KBL is ok! I don't even know her real name... all I know is she lives in San Diego and I've become very fond of her, her Belov-ED, Achilles and Milo, and I hope this isn't her neighborhood!" Anyway, clearly you are OK, and I am GLAD. :-)
Thanks everybody!
Sue, he is amazing. Just an absolutely great human. Just like your Coach! :-)
Love you too Chi-town! Love your Xmas decorations by the way!
Karen, it is actually not a quote. It what Muslims say to each other in greeting during holidays, and yesterday was the Eid of Sacrifice ("Al Adha")...commemorating the sacrifice of his son that Abraham was willing to make for God. "Mubarak" means to celebrate or be in happiness. It is the holiest of the holidays for Muslims, very similar to Easter for Christians.
Oh, and Karen, I totally think that others believe we hava parallel life in Blogistan. That's ok by me though. It is wonderful and I have met terrific friends, like you. :-)
HWHL, that tragedy happened literally less than 5 minutes from our home. I have had the father/husband of that family in my prayers every hour. Thanks for thinking of us. Give your furbabies a kiss for me.
I will indeed give D&R kisses for you. And I will add the families affected by the tragedy in SD to my prayers. How terrifying it must have been for those on the ground.
Also, thank you for explaining the Muslim greeting... and yes, Abraham's faith when he went up the mountain with his son Isaac showed tremendous faith in God, didn't it? I've never been able to read that story (esp after having kids of my own) without tearing up.
And it's especially sweet and poignant that you recognized your belowed husband yesterday, on the most holy day in your religion. That is a beautiful thing.
Blessings to you! :-)
Thank you for explaining; I love hearing about your faith. I hope you get to see Laura this week; if not, you'll have to come up here! We'll give you a warm welcome, no matter the climate. Sending love to you, Belov-Ed, the Furbabies and Cap'n.
I was very surprised to hear our local ABC station, during commercial breaks, wishing everyone a "Happy Eid!" The times they are a changin'! Love it!!
KBL - tell us how you met Ed..... I'm curious. (My post tomorrow is going to be how I met Hubster.)
OK, my friend.... I put up on the post (and an EMBARRASSING photo of me from the 80's) on how I met Hubster. :-)
