Six year anniversary of the Ragfields

Well, it was 6 years ago today that Rob and I were married. That means we’ve actually known each other for almost 10 years. So far its been working out pretty well.

Here—in no particular order—are a few random selections from a list I made entitled “1000 Reasons Why I Love Rob.”

1. You moved the clocks for me.
4. You ride your bike everywhere.
7. Sometimes when I least expect it, you save the last brownie for me.
16. You have your own dance move, which I call “The Rob.”
40. You can clog.
45. You convinced me that we should get a tandem bike.
58. You like salad.
82. You can multiply large numbers in your head more quickly than a calculator.
97. When the pond froze, you shoveled a path and went ice-skating.
100. You warm my feet at night in the winter.
109. You have gone through the drive-thru at the bank while on your bike.
111. You can squeeze toothpaste from the tube far beyond the point at which I think it is humanly possible.
118. You look really cool in sunglasses.
125. You ran for a public office as a write-in candidate.
145. You can sing “Living on a Prayer” in a Scottish accent.
167. You stop for turtles.
171. You rode your bike to Altagracia at 6:00 in the morning to get medicine for the baby howler monkey we were trying to save.

Sometimes I still find it hard to believe that my life has turned out this good. If I had it to do all over again, I would, but I'd probably want to get married barefoot on a mountain-top instead of in such a frilly dress. I'd still want chocolate cake and bridesmaids though.

Thanks for reading.
