Life has slowed down for us a lot in the last week or so. We've been able to have a date night and spend valuable time with friends. Not much exciting stuff going on, so I thought I'd share some fun facts about being Rob's wife.
1. He opens the car door for me every where we go. He has done that since we met in college, and I'm pretty sure he'll always do it.
2. On of our marriage rules is to not have a tv in the bedroom because it kills the romance. When we moved in with his parents a few weeks ago, our room came with its own tv and full cable. We've barely used it when we're both in the room, and it will go out the second one of us says so.
3. Every Sunday for about 8 years, Rob has left me a note on Sunday mornings simply to encourage me or tell me why he loves me.
4. He makes me mixed tapes like we are boyfriend/girlfriend in the 7th grade. Well, they are mixed cds if you will, but they are always my favorite gift to receive during the year. I end up with at least 4 or 5 each year.
5. He plays with my hair or rubs my back every night while I fall asleep. He claims he does this for hours, but it feels like 5 minutes.
6. He wakes up with the twins every morning to get the dressed & feed them so I can get ready for work or sleep a little extra. That's love.
7. He freaks out if he walks into the bathroom and I'm going to the bathroom. I am fully aware that I am not allowed in the bathroom if he is going. He thinks it kills the romance. I think when you gotta go, you gotta go.
8. He wears only a pair of superhero underwear to bed (he owns at least 6 pairs), but I wear socks, pants, a t-shirt, a long sleeve shirt plus add a heavy brown throw blanket on top of our sheet, quilt, & comforter. If I ever die it will be because I froze to death at bedtime.
9. We say weird things to each other such as, "I like your face" and "Love you poops."
10. We aren't allowed to use absolutes when communicating. For example, I can't say "you never" because that's probably not true. He can't say "you always" because even though I might have just done it, I probably don't always do it. It keeps us healthy.
In conclusion, I am the luckiest. That's all.
