Dedicate this to my other half..

No one has really asked this yet, 

but

this blog is SUPPOSED to be about

US. 

As in me AND my husband. 

I guess I've pretty much taken over this blog, 

and posted things that

yes involve us,

but 

I never really give a complete shot out to the man behind everything. 

As we met in 2004 but started our relationship in 2005

this man has pretty much 

been my everything. 

We've experienced so much together. 

College, Classes, Projects, Europe Trips, 

Different Apartments, Graduations,

Diabetes Diagnosis, Mumps, Jobs, 

Wedding, Buying our first home, 

making new friends,

just to name a few....

We've learned so much about ourselves, about eachother 

and today, 

as he is in Chicago with his best friends, 

and I'm here, taking care of myself, our Kahuna bear, 

and the house (stuff)

I think a 

i.love.you.you're.the.greatest.thing.ever.to.happen.to.me

is in order. 

With out him, I wouldn't be me. 

Rather, it's our husbands, our wives, daughters, fathers, mothers,

sisters, nieces or nephews...(the list could seriously go on forever)

it shouldn't take much for us to 

thank them for all the things they do for us.

both big and small. 

Well this is a big THANK YOU

to my dear husband. 

My life is WONDERFUL because of you. 

In another way of saying how much he means to me, here's some photos

of us throughout the years.. some old, some newer..

 On our wedding day, dancing together.. silly as always..

 Us after a late night working for me, and in our first apartment together.

 Us in 2007 in  Venice, Italy on one of our trips. This was only a few months before

my Type-1 Diagnosis. You can't tell here, but I was already getting sick, and losing weight

in part of the class symptoms. Okay enough about me, more about him.

 Check out that handsome man... This was on the top of the Eiffel Tower

 Us on a date night, here in our 1st home. 

Handsome... 

Thank you Kid (this is OUR term of endearment)

for all you do for me... 

I love you.
