I thought I would do a little Valentine's tribute to my husband, Dave! This is my favorite poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning from Sonnets from the Portuguese, and this is how I feel about Dave. I don't know where I would be without him and I'm just thankful that he is my Eternal companion and we can be together forever!
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I've Been Tagged
Two Names You’ve Gone By: Leash and Cannon
Two Things I Am Wearing Right Now: A camisole and a white t-shirt
Two Things You Want (or Have) in A Relationship: Love and Laughter
Two of Your Favorite Things to Do: Hang out with Dave, Gage, and Bostyn…and Sleep!
Two Things you Did Last Night: I attempted sewing a nursing shield for my friend, and I got so frustrated that I cried! (I apparently cheated my way through my TLC class in Junior High) I made cookies for Gage’s Valentine exchange at Music Makers. (I was so frustrated with the sewing that Dave had to bake the cookies or it would have been a meltdown) Thank Heavens for a great Husband!
Two People you Last Talked To: Gage and Julie from my ward
Two Favorite Holidays: Christmas!! and the 4th of July…Although, I think as a kid Valentines was my Favorite—I remember getting so excited to make a Valentine’s box and to get cards and candy from my secret admirers. I also loved giving the cute boys in my class specially made Valentines.
Two Favorite Drinks: Cherry Coke and Strawberry Margaritas (Virgin, of course)
Two Things About me You may Not Have Known: I am scared of Water and I have to be careful when I sneeze or else I will pee my pants! (I think that has only been since I’ve had kids—they mess you up in all sorts of ways!!:)
Two Jobs I Have had in My Life: In high school I was a sales person for one day, until I got fired! I’ve also worked at Domino’s (where I met my sweet Hubby)
Two Movies I could Watch Over and Over: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Friends (I know it's not a movie, but I could watch the seasons 1-10 over and over again!
Two Favorite Foods: Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo and Oatmeal chocolate Chip Cookies!
Two Longest Car Rides: Kaysville to Scottsdale, Arizona (Dave and I tried to take a shortcut and we ended up adding a few hours to the trip. However, we did stop at this cute little town where we let Gage crawl all over the floor at a grocery store—people looked at us like we were crazy! Hey, it had been a long day!) The other longest trip was on the way home—Gage was really sick—he was throwing up and had diarrhea and whole way home…we had to stop several times. Gage also had a rash and fever with it. We found out when we got home that he had Rota Virus…Thank goodness they now do vaccines for it! (Gage was 14 months at the time of this trip, 2005).
(Dave looking at the map trying to figure out where we were)
(Gage sick in the Car)
(Gage's rash--you can't see it too well, but it covered his whole body--so sad)
Two Places I’d Rather be Right Now: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (I will be there in the summer so I guess I can wait!) and Summer Time!
(On the Beach in Cabo)
(Out to Dinner in Mexico--we were being serenaded!)
I TAG: Karin, Alisa, Melanie, and Nikki
