I love getting hubby's stuff all ready for him too. Even though I work, I usually get home well before he does - he works a lot of OT and is so tired when he finally makes it home. I get his chair all set in front of the TV too; with the side table pulled up and the remotes at the ready while dinner is getting ready.<br /><br />It is never a bother when he is so appreciative. And it works both ways; he is always bringing me treats when I am in the studio creating.<br /><br />After 34 years of marriage, we really do have our routines too!<br /><br />Lovely post JoJo.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145005899710394272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-41538047022515551672014-07-22T10:30:52.634-04:002014-07-22T10:30:52.634-04:00'which we hold dear', need more coffee.'which we hold dear', need more coffee.D.G.

He treats me like a queen. The loving texts he sends me from the road sometimes make me get all teary eyed. Our physical relationship is incredible....we are very affectionate. He helps me whenever I ask him to. He's the only person who has ever truly loved me and has done a lot to bolster my terrible self esteem. He loves my dogs. My ex husband was a selfish, narcissistic, passive aggressive, mentally ill man, so believe me when I say Russell is truly my knight in shining armour, and I do what I can to let him know how much I appreciate him.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-34360340210845532332014-07-22T08:02:17.473-04:002014-07-22T08:02:17.473-04:00Yes it's true....I am in love and so happy.
