Today has been a good day --- I might even go as far as to say a great day. It was this day 24 years ago that I married my Cabana Boy (aka Daddyboy) I will admit that more people thought we would not live together 6 months but we have beat the odds . Some might say it is because we are both to lazy to move out or that we are so broke from keeping Princess up at college we could not afford another household. There may be some truth in both of those statements but I have to say I could not have found a husband that was a better fit for me. When I married Daddyboy, bless his sweet heart, he was blown out of the water. This was a man that did not mix and match his clothes (come on, I thought everyone had GRRRanimals) but rather what ever shirt was bought with a pair of pants well so be it. And he actually had certain outfits for certain days of the week. Marrying me totally changed that. He loves everything scheduled - I fly by the set of my pants and hope I just don't bust my butt. He refuses to take an aspirin for a headache while I think if one is good two is probably better. I don't think we could be more opposite but hey it works for us. There is not another person I enjoy being around more than my husband. He can piss me off royally and I can call him an SOB but he is my SOB and no one else better say that about him. He is a good provider for this family of wanting girls. Always has settled for the lesser of everything so his girls could have better. He always drives the crappy car, always has the most out of date cell phone and hardly ever complains. And when he does he really just needs us to tell him how much we love him and appreciate all he gives up so that we can have better. He never goes out drinking at the bars with the boys, instead he spends his time off here in Lippyville, taking care of the pool, our house, the cars, grilling out and so on. To the best of my knowledge he has always been a faithful husband and I love him dearly for that. Now he can be argumentative and he never likes to make a decision, example : where do you want to eat tonight --- reply hey what about Wendy's -- nope not there! I think this is because if we go where I suggest and the meal is bad he can blame me!!!!!
Marrying me changed his whole lifestyle. He no longer has his matchy outfits but he really just prayers that he has some clean underwear. And he certainly does not have a certain outfit for a certain day of the week. He never is certain what plans we have and if he thinks he knows what they are, he never is certain that I won't change my mind. But he just goes with the flow.
When I mentioned our anniversary was coming up and he better have me a darn good gift for our 25th year he replied I sure will. I said again -- I mean a darn good one. He said well since I have a whole year to think about that maybe I can do it. I was very confused as to why he thought he had another year -- our anniversary, the 25th one, was in three days. He very calmly turned to me and said I know it feels like an eternity but we have only been married for 24 years this anniversary, dummy!!! Of course I had to do some quick math in my head and good grief he was right. And my only reply was well I guess I am a dummy but I am your dummy. With that said I just walked away. Cause I might not have had my math right but I knew that I had married the right man!!!
