Why We Work

In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm writing about the reasons why Dom and I work. Thank you to Bonnie from The Life of Bon for the idea!

We work because he lets me do my thing on my computer and when I'm done and I want to go to bed, he comes with me even if he isn't done doing his thing.

We work because he can cook meat and I can cook pasta.

We work because I can never admit that Julian needs a second/third nap and instead of listening to him cry more, Dom will just put him to bed.

We work because he doesn't judge me when I need to take 50 pictures of one invitation or birth announcement that I had printed. Or when I have to take 60 pictures of my desk and a corner of our kitchen. He actually tries to slap my butt because he knows it will ruin the picture. Then I get mad so he laughs and lets me continue in peace.

We work because if I miss a glob of hair in the shower drain, he gets it out. But also never fails to remind me of it.

We work because we like to be silly before we settle down to go to sleep. We have our own "language" that sort of sounds like German, Russian, and some Nordic language all mixed together. Don't get us started because we won't stop.

We work because we like having people over for casual drinks and food. (And merriment.) He sweeps and makes chicken wing dip, I set up the glasses and make sure the presentation is impeccable.

We work because we root for eachother when there's something we're excited about.

We work because we can both be realistic about our future together, and what our timeline looks like. What continuing our family will look like and when it would happen.

We work because I take things seriously and he doesn't take things serious enough. He helps me remember that some things aren't so serious and I remind him that some things need some immediate attention.

We work because he's simple and easy to please and I can be a little more high mantenance.

We work because we both love movies about ancient Rome or Greece, Mythology, any type of superhero, and were both excited to see Pompeii when it comes out.

We work because we both love late night snacking. I'm always down for a McDouble at 10 p.m. Bad? Yeah.

So there, those are some of the reasons why we "work". Some are silly and some I could write about for days, but they're all special to us.

The best part about writing these was asking Dom what he thought about it, and he said "Just because I love ya, duh!" So sweet! See what I mean now about him being simple?

And then of course he said "And because I'm stuck with you now!"

Such a sweetie.
