The most awesome night... Current mood: lovedCategory: Romance and Relationships
Last night Matthew and I went to bed like we normally do when he is off work, it was probably around midnight. We started talking about the past, and there's quite a bit since we've been together for over ten years.....that's still hard for me to believe. We wound up talking and just generally goofing off until 8 am. I remember when we used to talk like that, back when we were in high school and college, and I guess we haven't really thought about it, but we haven't actually "talked" like that in quite some time.
I think that last night will always be one of my very favorite memories of "us", not including the kids of course, but it was amazing to be able to reconnect and for us to remember that we really are best friends and that we really do love each other. We laughed and sang stupid songs to each other, talked about things that we remembered about each other and our friends, and really got a chance to enjoy each other without anyone interrupting us for milk or juice, or to change a diaper for once. So often in our everyday lives things become almost mechanical, laundry, dishes, cleaning, work, that we really don't take time to appreciate and enjoy each other like we should, and like we used to before we had all of the responsibility of being adults.
Today, when I saw him, after my one hour of sleep, I didn't see the person who kept me up all night, or the person who didn't take out the trash yesterday like he probably should have. I saw a somewhat shy 17 year old who had to call his buddy to see if he was asking the right girl to his Junior Prom (way back in 1996), and I saw the teenage boy who was genuinely nice enough to give me his shirt in January when I insisted that I wasn't cold and didn't need a jacket. I saw my best friend, the person who would do anything in the world for me, the father of my two beautiful children, and my one true love.

I hope that this made sense because I'm still operating on less than three hours of sleep :), but the joy that I feel inside more than makes up for the exhaustion I'm feeling today. I love you, Beba.
