You make me happy

We had a very busy but fun weekend. Both of us crashed just after 11pm, which is early for us, and Branden got up at 8:30am while I slept in till 9:45am. The morning has been a bit interesting because neither of our brains seem to be functioning properly. Branden told me that he almost put deodorant under his chin instead of cologne when he came out of the shower. I can't seem to form words so this short post is taking me forever to type...and I haven't had coffee yet...

It could have been a nice, long sleep last night but I woke up from a nightmare. Whenever this happens, I cling to Branden, whimpering, and trying to get as snuggled into him as possible. He woke up and knew what was going on so he just instantly started talking to me about the ridiculous dream he had been having and puling me as close to him as he could. He rambled for about 15 minutes until I got comfortable enough and calmed down enough to fall back asleep.

The simplicity of just being able to sleep in the same bed as my husband is something that I absolutely cherish. It's not something we did before we were married so it's incredibly special to me. Every night, I snuggle up to his back and wait until I hear him fall asleep, then I roll over, press my back against his, and fall asleep. I used to take forever to go to sleep before I was married, sometimes laying in bed for hours just waiting to drift off. There's nothing more comforting and more wonderful to me than to have Branden there every night, and I fall asleep pretty quickly now.

This is a bit mushier than my usual blog fodder, but I am just blessed with an incredible man who just got back from walking to the store so he could get me something for the breakfast in bed, which he brings me almost every morning. It's just under a month until our 3 year wedding anniversary and I feel more like a newlywed today than I did back then. I love you my wonderful husband and thank you for treating me like I'm your treasured wife.

  1. Sweet. I share my bed with my wife but neither of us want to fall asleep pressed against each other. It always get sweaty where we are touching.

  2. Just another thing we have in common my friend. I love sleeping next to Phil. It's so comforting. I've always had a hard time sleeping. I used to only sleep about 4 hours a night. He has taught me to slow down and sleep for 6 to 8 hours now. I'm also blessed with a funny and wonderful husband!

  9. I love it too. Our third anniversary is also right around the corner, although, I'm sooo lame and haven't thought about what to get him. I'll be super pregnant by July 3rd, so any crazy going out probably won't happen. Perhaps we'll split a cheesecake.

Does this straitjacket make my butt look big?
