Always Be Closing

Sometimes, when Scotty is really being annoying (come on! he's three!) he starts whining for milk, and he just won't let it go. Even as you're getting the milk out of the refrigerator, and filling his sippy cup, he'll stand there yipping at you.

When he does this, and Erik has absolutely had it, he'll turn to Scotty and say, "Milk is for closers!" and when that happens I just laugh and laugh and laugh. [That link, btw, not safe for work or small children. Or people with delicate sensibilities.]

Erik and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary at the beginning of this month...it is the same day as our 17th anniversary of 'being together'. I joke and tell him "Every year is getting longer!" but the truth is, every year is getting better. I love him so much, I love our little family so much, and he makes me laugh so hard. You know what he's good at? He is really good at making me laugh when I'm taking myself, or life, entirely too seriously.

We're total opposites ~ he says I'm chaos and he's order ~ but like two puzzle pieces, we fit together perfectly when notched together.
