David knows how much I enjoy flowers; especially when I’m in need of some cheer. But then the poor guy sneezes until he’s miserable. Love hurts, right? I think that after six years of marriage, I might have convinced him that I thoroughly enjoy them even when I set them outside the window. Nice thing is, they last quite a bit longer out in the cool air.
David married me back when I wasn’t sure I would be able to be much of a wife to him. I was bed-ridden quite a bit and David carried a pillow around for me everywhere we went, and, occasionally, carried me when I couldn’t walk. Thankfully, I am WAY better than six years ago, but I am still dealing with my chronic pain, insomnia, and recently rediscovered, parasite issues. I thought they were gone, but I guess not.
Not taking life too seriously is a balance Jenni brings to our marriage. I tend to be all business and no play. I’ve learned to enjoy the journey and not focus solely on getting to a destination from Jenni.
We had a mini-date while my parents watched the kids and we struck a balance of getting some exercise walking around a mall and stopping by the Apple store so that I could check out the iPad 2 some more. While I’m fascinated by the Garage Band app, well, you call tell which app got Jenni’s imagination.
A good friend of mine, Tiffany, asked me to record her solo in her orchestra concert. This was a special event because trombones rarely have solos. It brings me back to my own experiences of sitting in the back of Clark College’s Orchestra, counting 90 measures and then trying to hit a clear, high C… “Ta TAAAAAA!”
David has always been very healing to me. His frequent foot massages helps my head pain disappear for a while. I’m so blessed to have a husband who is so generous with his love to me.
Dancing was, is, and will always be one of the pillars of our marriage. We met through dancing, competed together, and served on the board of our dance community. Good times then and to come.
“Are you a vegetarian?” I chuckled when I heard that was one of my brother-in-law’s first date questions. However, when it came to food allergies and my dietary indifference, God worked out a great pairing for us. She enjoys Chinese food, must eat meat, and most of the things she’s allergic to, I don’t crave or enjoy.
One food that we’re both sensitive to is dairy. Thank God for coconut ice cream.
