Tribute to Four Years of Marriage

Tomorrow June 2nd Russ and I will celebrate 4 years being married. A total of 7 years being together. We don't have a lot of money this go around nor do we really ever, so I told him today to do NOTHING. Not even a card (gasp!) You know I love a card. But things are tight right now. One of the best things about us is the fact that you could offer us a cardboard box and a sidewalk to put it on and as long as we were together there would be laughter for sure :)
So----in honor of my FOUR year anniversary tomorrow I will state FOUR things I have NOT yet said during our worst times nor do I ever plan on saying.

1. The sex...it just isn't good anymore
2. Please don't touch me
3. I hate you
4. I want a divorce (I told him someone was going out this marriage as a widow, and well I got people that can hide a body, I'm just sayin :)

Now I will state the FOUR things I DO say on a daily basis to Russ.

1. I love you to the moon (always the 1st thing in the morning)
2. Honey, you are retarded (trust me this is daily)
3. Please (this can be used when rolling your eyes, laughing, asking a question or begging for booty--Ha! Like I gotta say please for that! LOL)
4. (kiss,kiss,kiss) I love you and Goodnight

FOUR things I suggest couples do.

1. Keep a daily journal, both of you can write in it. It can range from "Honey don't forget to take out the trash?" or "I love you have a great day" or "I'm sorry about last nights argument, I should have let it go!" MEN are better readers than listeners when it comes to their wives. Its huge for communication and really great when kids are always in the way of romance
2. Date Nights
3. Passion-somehow keep the fire lit. It doesn't have to be heavy make out or sex sessions, but getting that book or CD they randomly spoke of...bringing home a Sonic drink because you "thought" they may want one.
4. Always say "I LOVE YOU" it's only overused when you don't mean it or don't feel it anymore.

So yes, tomorrow I celebrate marrying my best friend. He was and is still my night in shinning armor and indeed did rescue me from a tower.

To the moon Russ...to the moon :)
