Anniversary

Fifteen years ago this hunk above cried his eyes out when he saw me.  He will neither confirm nor deny if it was love or horror that brought those tears to the surface.  Yet he has stuck it out.  He always knows just the thing to do.  He truly is my Superman.  I have always been completely taken care of.  He makes me laugh.  He makes me feel safe.  He knows when to joke and when I need serious.  He's always got me covered. He has brought more to my life than I could have ever managed on my own.

Every moment with him has been spectacular because they all add up to now.  And when the last day comes, it will never be enough.  All I will want is another day.  I love you.

#20 Someone You See Yourself Marrying or Being With In the Future

Finally slummin' my way back to the challenge.  And it reminds me that this challenge was probably meant for a 15 year old. 
I'm pretty sure you can guess who I can see myself married to.  I admit I tried to picture myself married to other people but the people in my fantasy weren't smiling.  It's not easy being Peczuh and it takes a real man to voluntarily jump on this train. 
When I was younger I truly believed in 'soul mates'.  I knew there was only one person out there for me.  It seemed so romantic!  And that is how I wanted to see my life.  Years of living have made it pretty obvious that not many things work out that beautifully.  I know that my beloved could have lots of matches out there that would be good for him.  I on the other hand have literallly 0 matches.  I learned this the hard way when my Bobby and I took the eHarmony quiz to see if we were matches.  We weren't.  He had piles and piles of cute girls that were ready for their first 'get to know you' chat.  That's when I nixed his account. I wasn't a match for anyone  for about 5 years, and then there were two guys that were living at home and addicted to gaming.  Obviously even eHarmony had given up on me. 
I tend to be extreme in most areas of my life and eHarmony let me know that not many people can take that.  I love hard.  I cry hard.  I dance hard.  I hate hard.  I believe what I believe with intensity and I don't bend to anyone else very easily.  Now I'm not saying my man is really my little wife.  He doesn't let me run the show, he just knows how to handle with care.
I know my life wouldn't be what it is today without my guy.  I love him.  I try to honor him.  No surprise...I see myself with him in the future.

Pittsburgh Is Code For BORED!

        When left to my own devices.....no internet, no TV, no newspapers...I crumbled.  Superman was in Pittsburgh for one week and I couldn't take the stress of being left alone with my own thoughts.  I took up a shameful crime...er crafting spree.                                                                     

Exhibit A) Wreath

B) Riley's unfortunate jewelry box

C) One of two free lamps that got in my way....plus my cute little jewelry plate that Superman mocks.

D) Little flowers and old pictures.....awe:)

E) The bench and it's accompanying cushion


I also massacred a pillowcase dress, another wreath, a flowered headband, two chairs, and a body pillow with covers for Ri's bed....but since my crafting and picture taking are about equal in negativity, the pictures didn't  make it.

I Love Me Some Superman

Last night we were out on the dance floor at my sister's wedding.  The dance was for couples.  Every now and then the D.J. would ask couples to leave the floor depending on how long they had been married.  Trooper Lance Armstrong and I made it to the last 4 couples.  We are either A)old  B) surrounded by divorcees or C) off our rockers for each other:)   I will admit to B&C.  The floor basically cleared by 5 years and the couples that beat us had been married for over 30 years. 

Our 14 year anniversary just rolled around while we were cruising the Alpine Slide in Park City and I was drooling over Bradley Cooper.  This is why we have been able to stick it out for 15 years.  Me Bob isn't oblivious to my black heart and deeply grooved personality flaws.........he just rolls with it.  He isn't a thrill seeker but he knew I would love to shoot down a dry ski slope on a wee sled.  He wanted to see the A Team, but I know he knew I was only going for Coop's shiny  white teeth and blue eyes.  He brings me flowers when I cry for a week like I'm Bella and Edward just went AWOL and I don't give sufficient explaination.  He runs with me at my pace when I know he could go much faster.  He shaves his head or lets his scruff grow because it makes me smile.  He texts me pictures of himself in a suit when I'm not there to see it for myself.  He lets my bedside table pile high with countless books and gives merely a shake of the head.  He endures Chinese food in amounts forbidden by the FDA. 

I don't know why he abides the cold blood that runs through my veins, but he's my man and I'm glad he does. 

All Because Two People (young and dumb people) Fell In Love (better known as obsession on my part)

Jason likes to really goad me about the fact that I stalked him. I freely admit that I did....going as far as trying to take a picture of him without him knowing. I did not however, stalk to make contact........only to gaze upon his buck twenty smoking hot frame. He is the one that initiated contact. Psych. 1o1 he tried to convince me that he was in his sixties by showing me a black and white picture of his grandpa from his army days. Freakishly the resemblance was striking. I did not believe for a moment that it was really him (my kids do though).
I was obsessed (yes in an unhealthy manner) from that day on. I knew before I even went on the first date that he was mine. Sadly for me, but fortunately for both of us it took him over a month to screw up the courage to kiss me. I still love remembering the rain and thunderstorm. I guess if he had to wait so long he came up with the right moment.
Fourteen years later (thirteen years of wedded bliss (depending on whom you ask)) we get a kick out of looking back at how STUPID we were. Granted our IQ's were quite high.......but as far as life experience we were a big negative.
Dear Parents:
What were you thinking? We were barely legal and had no money. We were
dumb. I know you must have known this. How did you keep your lips zipped?
Dr. Laura........did you try to pray me away? Hmmm, it didn't work.
We love you for your silence and support,
AJ

We've been idiots, we've made idiot choices and we've had some tough years but we've never thought that we couldn't make it if we stuck together. I know without his calm level head and knack for letting things go........plus his keen sense of when to bring home Chinese food......I would not be the success (wink wink) that I am today. He's like the river and I am the rock. He is smooth and cool and he tumbles me around until the roughness wears away. I on the other hand mostly get in his way and spend all of his hard earned cash.
Babe,
I love you. My obsession runs just as deep, if not deeper. I cannot imagine a
moment and never eons of time without you. I love you more every day, even
the ones where you eat popcorn and chew ice and melt chocolate on the bed
sheets.
Forever and ever,
Stunned Fish
And can I just give us both props here? We are a freaking genetic gold mine!
