Ode to my sweetheart.
This morning Philip helped me in the garden for almost two hours today. He doesn't love the garden like I do, but he helped me anyway.
I received a phone call from the church while we were working, and he patiently stayed outside in the hot, hot sun with me - even though I wasn't doing much more than standing around.
In fact, while he was waiting, he carved a heart in our lone tree in the yard with the knife he'd been using in the garden. It reads, "I love you," and it features a heart with "PC + NC."
*melt*
For lunch, he went to La Mesa without complaint because it was just about the only restaurant that sounded good to me (and we had no food at home).
Afterwards, he went grocery-shopping with me. I know he doesn't generallly like shopping for groceries, but he didn't complain how long it was taking even once (we had a lot to buy, having used up ALL of our food before we left for vacation).
After he returned home from the restaurant tonight, he brought me leftover Vegetable Cheese soup. He knows I really like it, and he brought me two bowls.
And at this very moment, he is out buying some ranch dip from the store so that I can snack on some green pepper strips later tonight.
He wore a new t-shirt today that we bought yesterday while shopping, and it really is appropriate: he truly *is* SUPERMAN.

So happy to hear you guys still have some romance left between you... it's a hard thing to hang onto in marriage. Especially with being a military family and all.

My grandparents were snuggly and kissy through their entire marriage. They adored each other and that model has always been something Ben & I wanted for ourselves. Sometimes we drift and find each other at odds, but we both make it a priority to come back together and to let each other know the other is the most important person. We've been trying to walk the dogs in the evening so we can have some "us" time and stay in touch with each other. It's hard with cramped quarters, but it's temporary.
Didn't mean to babble so much... lol
