The Honeymoon Never Ends ... (wink, wink)

  

“I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”

― Rita Rudner

6:30 a.m. -  I sleepily nestle against my husband and say in my deep, sexy morning voice, “Holy Shit!  What are you still doing here?”  Leaping from the bed while cursing the alarm he never set, my husband races around the house trying to make up lost time.  On his way out the door, I yell to his back, “Happy Anniversary!”

Don’t be jealous.  Not everyone is cut out to be living this large.  Oh, the good life!  The romance, the passion, the edge-of-your-seat excitement – it’s not for the faint-hearted. 

Already this morning, I’ve enjoyed the romantic repartee of my husband’s response from the foot of the driveway.  “That’s today?”  Be still my beating heart.  He has such a way with words.  And our three angelic children greeted me soon after his departure.  “Mom,” my daughter had sung my name.  She had wanted to inform me of the poetic ramblings of her older brother.  “He’s calling me ‘Poo Poo’ in whispers!” 

Tonight, we will celebrate our 14 years of marriage in style: at the community pool with the Cub Scouts.  My knight in shining armor has informed me that I will need to prepare and bring a baked good and that he would meet me there since he’s working late.  Perhaps a toddler can let loose a “#2” in the shallow end like at last year’s event- you know, to set the perfect ambiance.

And finally, in similar fashion to our resort-filled ten day honeymoon in Hawaii fourteen years ago, we are planning a getaway next week.  Our fabulous accommodations will be three nights in the Penthouse Suite of the Econo Lodge situated with scenic views of the Cracker Barrel along Route 1, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
