The other day, I purchased some incense and had it burning when he turned to me and said, "This brings up some childhood memory doesn't it? Your mom used to light these and it makes you think of home, right?" Yup! He is so right. My mom used to have some burning in her room and the smell reminds me of being at home. He knew that without me telling him that. He knows when I am missing home.
He can tell what kind of mood I am in just by what I eat. He actually said that I should stop menu planning and just decide on my way home from work what we should have because I change my mind so many times. I tend to menu plan for a week then rearrange it every night... I am just not in the mood for whatever I have planned :)
Roger knows that when I have an awful headache, I will want to lie in bed with my blankie (oh yes blankie not blanket!) and have my backed rubbed. He knows that eventually when my headache goes away that I will want to put on my pj's and one of his oversized shirts and just cuddle. He lets me be whiney and needy when I am not feeling well and takes care of me perfectly.
He doesn't question my craziness. He knows that I will only light my candles when the house is clean, that I hate to sweep, and that I have a water-to-ice ratio in my drinks. He may not understand why I do these things but he lets me do them. He lets me be me.
Isn't that great? I wish that everyone could find what I found. I am truly blessed to be married to Roger. People tell me that eventually this newly wed stage will end but I hope it doesn't.
I really hope it doesn't...

We are closing in on ten years, and I still feel like a newly wed in so many ways Bethany. I get sad when Jim walks out the door for work, I get butterflies when he comes home. He still looks at me in a way that melts me, etc. etc. It just gets better believe it or not. It really, really does. Love you, and I am so happy that you are married and loving it. {grin}
