Two is For Togetherness
2004 Ohio Trip Woody and I trying not to freeze our buns off at lake Erie
Two for Togetherness
I saw this on another blog to complete this about Woody in honor of his 57th birthday today. I feel like I never say anything good about him, and there is a lot to love and even like about this guy...
Two things you compliment your spouse on while in his presence:1. He's always making me laugh...
2. He thinks I can do anything I want to do and tells me that
3. Then he will go out to pave the way for me to try what ever it is that I want to try to do
Two compliments you make about your spouse to your friends:1. He's a wonderful person. People love being around him.
2. If I am in a corner about something he backs me up no matter what
Two traits you married him for:1. He was honest about how he felt about me.
2. His persistance in courting me after many obstacles were thrown in his way. I like that he knew what he wanted
Two days you cherished the most with your husband being together:1. The day he said "Yes, we are buying the house on the Big Island and moving to Hawaii"
2. " The day we left Hawaii, he promised that "I would never regret it" and he has kept his word
Two material things you could give your husband if you just inherited a fortune:1. Woody is not really driven by material things, So I would commence our retirement and a lifetime of travel and adventure.
Two things you would miss the most if she/he left for two weeks:1. Being grounded (not the in-trouble kind, but being grounded like having someone to keep me on the straight and narrow).
2. Not having anyone to fight with.
Two thoughts that crossed your mind when you first met/saw your spouse:1. Who is this person, and why did he just glom onto me and keep dropping names, which drives me crazy?...I snuck out of the holiday party we were attending just to get away.
2. Why is this nutcase older guy following me around?
Two favorite dates:1. When we were first together I took him to my favorite botanical garden and it became our place.
2. Anytime we get to go out driving and exploring together. We call it Having an adventure!
Two funny odd things you love:1. The way he loves our cats. He is not affectionate on the whole but with them he treats them like little babies
2. I love the odd way something will touch him, and he gets all teary eyed.
Two places you have lived with your spouse:1. At a house I called "Midway 'round the Bend" in Bellflower CA. This 85 year old wooden shack was our first "project" If Woody and I dont have a project going we really struggle as a couple. We renovated it from the ground up, and it fetched triple its purchase price of 80,000 (cheap for So Cal) when we sold it and moved to Hawaii.Life for us wasnt easy there, but we stuck it out and made things work which many people didnt think was possible. I miss my 75 rose bushes that I had there...
2. At Hale Pu'uhounua, Near Pahoa, Big Island of Hawaii. for nearly four years I lived out a dream, and while it was never easy I dont regret a day spent trying to make things work out. This home was the largest, most beautifully appointed home I have ever lived in, but it was never home. I never felt settled, and knew deep down that we werent going to live there forever
3.Our home now is in between the two in size and appointments, but I feel that we are really happy here for the first time in our marriage. That says something. We talk about living in this house for the rest of our lives, which never happened before .
Two favorite vacations:1. Hawaii (anytime).We traveled there 12 times in 3 1/2 years before moving there
2. Our Farwell/Post 9-11 trip through the southwest. We drove for nearly one month while waiting to leave for Hawaii.
3. 0ur 1999 Virgina/Washington DC trip, fabulous
4. Anytime we pack a suitcase... Woody is a great travel companion.
5. it wasnt a vacation but the three weeks in Ohio were a blast check it out at
