Here we are at a chili cook off we went to today...hosted by long time friends Ted and Annie. Annie's birthday was today also. We gathered with some very old and very new friends to watch the Saints vs. Bears game and to sample some REALLY yummy chili. If you like chili, this was the place to be, folks.
I would like to take this opportunity to say happy birthday to my better half. He is the rock in my world. He makes shit happen. He is the provider in my life. Not only does he do dishes, laundry and cook dinner, he also kills spiders, deals with the cars, and is the hard ass of the family. A perfect blend.
As I describe him to my friends, the most frequent response is, "Does he have a brother?" Sorry ladies. He does not. He's all mine. I don't do him justice. He is a rock when he needs to be and a pillow when he needs to be. God, I hope this doesn't mortify him. I don't tell him near enough, or show him near enough, but he is the reason for my being.
After people have known us for a while, they often say, "I can't imagine two people who are more perfect for each other than you two." We are best friends and have provided the kind of family for our children that we both have aspired to. Success. Perfection, no. Are you kidding? Nobody has a perfect relationship.
Being with my husband, Dan is what motivates me toward everything I strive for. He pushes me to be better, more, while at the same time appreciating and loving me for who I am today.
Happy birthday, Mr. Robinson. Koo koo kacho!

A rock and a pillow...that's great! My Dear Hubby has been with me..and me with him..thru a lot of hard places thru our 32 years of marriage. Illness, job loss, the death of my parents. Just knowing he's here beside me, each step of the way, makes life bearable. Congrats on the weight loss! Each pound lost is more time to be here for our loved ones in the future!

It's nice to see someone who feels the same way about their spouse. In these days of disposable marriage, I can't imagine life without mine. I loved your description of him as a rock and a pillow. Perfect.
