Priceless!

I went to see Marley and Me tonight. I had hoped to see it with my wife, but she was quite tired, so I went alone. That's a shame, because I really, really would have liked to have her by my side for the movie ( Read more... )

First they beg me to sing while they are playing Guitar Hero, then they get mad and yell at me when I ad lib my own lyrics to "Oh Canada" while they are performing "Beat It" by Michael Jackson (to my credit, before I got to "Oh Canada" I absolutely NAILED The Star Spangled Banner.

God, how to begin? I'm up late, the day before Thanksgiving. I just happened to be looking at Matthew's LJ, a blog he hasn't used since he was 9. He's 14 now. How's that for a lifetime gap ( Read more... )

I am one of the lucky ones who has found and cherished a soulmate. My wife is everything I could have wanted, and she constantly proves that just by living her life, she is more than I could have ever hoped to find. I love my wife and she loves me. Completely.
