Another meme, which I will not post until tomorrow, because I am not going to write it tonight, comes to you from Daring Young Mom. I once asked my boys if I could buy and wear her tee shirt. They said a) I was too old and b) they would be too embarrassed.

But I liked the meme when I read it. It intrigued me. So I thought I would answer it here.

2 days you cherished with your husband

Last night, when he rolled over in his sleep and held me. (Every day is a good day.)

—Other days were more significant… Our engagement, our wedding, the birth of our children, the day my ovary ruptured and he got everyone in the right place…. But the day to day things like the ones above are what make a good marriage excellent.

2 favorite vacations

We went to the Appalachian mountains with friends. We hiked, which I love. We did other things too, which I don’t remember as well.

The vacation we DIDN’T take to Florida. We had saved all year for it and the boys said, “Hey, that much money would buy us laptops.” So they got laptops instead.

If you have a special someone you can’t ever say enough about, you’re tagged with this meme. I’ll come read what you have to say if you let me know.
