2 Years and One Crazy Ride Later...

Me: Did you think two years ago...
Mr. Army: Nope (shaking head with amazement)
Me: Yeah, me either.
Mr. Army: (takes my hand and kisses it)

I was thinking about all that has happened in the last two years and how much it has helped me grow. I am grateful for Mr. Army and all the things he has taught me. Here is an ode to us.

• We are the only two people I know that can fake fight and end up laughing so hard we cry as we try to stay mad.

• I can't stay mad at Mr. Army, I just can't. And he just doesn't really ever get mad at me, which I enjoy.

• We are truly predictable no matter how hard we try to be spontaneous...Aristo's (best greek ever) and Arrested Development = a perfect night to us.

• We are amused by the simplest things. Give us a melted candle and we can spend an hour dipping our fingers and other objects in it to see the shapes we can make.

• We never listen to music in the car and sometimes I take the long way home just so we can talk longer.

• We don't cuddle in the summer because I'm a sauna. I've learned to deal with it and to love Fall even more.

• We love to make dinner/food together. Anything from our favorite Fettucine Alfredo to Chicken Tikka Masala to Breakfast Burritos. Usually I end up handing over the reigns to Mr. Army, he is so good about it :)

• We are never on time...that is just something I have come to terms with.

• Utah football will always bring us together.

• We both get "wildhair ideas" as I like to call them. Usually mine are to make some crazy new dish or to completely change our diet or run a marathon. His are more along the lines of making a zipline in the backyard or making our own big candle out of the mini ones or budgeting!

• We are frugal, and we love it. We love that we understand each other. Sometimes we can get a little out of line, but when it comes down to it, we'd rather make hamburger helper than eat at a restaurant.

• We are good road trippers. We don't get sick of each other easily...this is a huge feat for both of us since we are such private people.

• We love to tease each other. The more time progresses, the more we have to tease about and the more fun it becomes!

• We don't have to be together all the time. Mr. Army's phrase is "I know you get bored with me sometimes, so when that happens, you can hang out with other people." I have yet to be bored with him, but it's good to know I have my options.

• And most importantly, we're a team!
