Another ode to my husband

Justin was home last night. It was very nice to have him home. We didn't do anything special. Just FHE and scriptures, dinner, and tv. But it was nice to be able to tell him things right off the top of my head when I think of them instead of waiting until I remember to tell him later. And then not really remembering. I have a friend who is recently divorced, well almost a year now. She tells me she will never remarry. And she doesn't understand how I can possibly stay married. I feel bad for her because she has had such a terrible marriage experience. But everyone kind of knew from the beginning that it wouldn't last. We never thought it could possibly have lasted as long as it did! I wonder how many people thought that of Justin and me. We were quite a volitile couple when we were dating. We fought all the time. But being married has solved problems that we had when we were dating. Honestly I don't know how, but it did. I just read a book called Jane Austin in Scarsdale. It was a modern adaptation of Persuasion, kind of. But the heroine had one true love whom she had let go 13 years before and she never could stay with another man because of this one. He was the one for her. I am not much for the whole, soul-mate thing, but I do know that had I not married Justin, I would always wonder what my life could have been. I would always remember him with fondness and love and wonder if he was my one true love. I think he might be! Isn't that silly and crazy!? He has his faults that drive me absolutely crazy, but doesn't everyone? He is a lovely man. Anyway, I don't mean to gush. It is just that when he is gone for so long doing a play, I realize that I do love him and really need him. I think I do this after every play. I am just glad it will be over soon. I usually kind of dread him coming back home because I am just not used to him being around all the time and he kind of gets in the way. But being pregnant makes me want him here so he can do all the work!
