Fifteen years.

For fifteen years I have lived with this man
and watched him live his life.
He is a man of integrity.
And humor.
And incredible patience.
He is an amazing father.
A diaper changer for many years.
A teacher. A playmate. A dispenser of wisdom.
He is a hard worker.
A dependable and honest and loyal employee.
His friends seek him out.
For advice. For coffee. For tennis. For a listening ear.
He gives to them all.
His laugh is my favorite sound in all the world.
His presence brings my heart into a more settled and peaceful place than I am in alone.
They rhythm of his steps beside me comforts me and his quiet words of affirmation have changed my world.
He is my husband.
Happy Anniversary, honey.
I love you.
(Can't wait to see you tomorrow.)
-C.

    Happy "Mr. Right" day Cathy. You two look better today and I'm sure you love each other more than you did on your wedding day 15 years ago. That's awesome! Enjoy.

    That's a lovely tribute, Cathy : ) Happy Anniversary! Ours was this week, too. 12 years. We forgot to say happy anniversary to each other because we were so busy with the move. Nice. :P

    Hey, that's what I call true love.
    We've been married 20 years, and it is a true testament to love that this summer we have had a lot of time together as a couple. My husband, "It is is sure nice that we still enjoy each other's company."

    Couldn't ask for anything nicer.

    Loved your tribute. Good men. Gotta love them. They are awesome.

    Congrats to you both.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
