There are two things I hold dear:
Childhood momento's. We have all had one or two in our existance. A few of mine have included this really beat up rudolph the reindeer to my old valentine day cards that kids in elementary used to pass out. I have kept nearly ever card ever gave to me since I was in middle school. I've kept stuffed animals that even my ex-boyfriends have given to me and believe you me, the husband doesn't like that fact. I've kept letters written to me and I still have this notebook filled with letters that Kasi, Brandy and I passed back and forth during High School. I'm a saver for memory sake. I plan on doing the same for Hayden. I plan on keeping the baby blanket that my sister made by hand for her to the sweater that has been passed down from my sister as a baby to me and now to Hayden. I plan on keeping holiday cards to even one of the smallest unused diaper she's ever worn just so she can look back and go 'hey, I was once that small'. I think it is important to hang on to those childhood and even adulthood memories as possible. When you're down, you look back and just smile. I haven't looked at my stash in a long time because I have a wonderful husband and daughter that makes me smile on a daily basis that I never need to go back in time. I just look towards the future - which seems to get better by the day.
Those sacred terms of endearment known as "pet names". Whether you admit to it or not, we're all to blame at some point calling our lover by a name such as pooker, sugarplum to even not so nice names as 'butthead'. Even those not so cute names are terms of endearment just like when a little boy chases or punches a little girl - it's a show of affection in a weird way. I call Louis by muffin butt, hun and on occassion asshole but I swear it's out of love lol. To him, I'm monkey butt, sweetheart and on occassion 'bitch'. I even have little nick names for the few select friends I hold dear. Louis and I don't hide the cheeseyness that we hold so dear. We're cuddly and loud when we call each other by those names which I find so cute. I don't see why men deny it but I bet deep down they love it too. I was reading one of my fitness magazines and a GUY writer wrote a piece about nick names and what it mens to people. He wrote that he told his wife that he loves her like he loves corn dogs and that just reminded me of the silly things Louis and I text and say all the time to each other. When I could barely have caffeine, I'd tell Louis that I love him just as much as I love Dr. Pepper and he'd say he misses me like he'd miss oxygen. I guess I'm just happy that Louis and I can express how we feel by using those phrases. I hope we never lose that spark in our relationship where we can be childish at heart. It's going on three years and it hasn't died down one bit. In fact, it's gotten worse. I still miss that puppy dog phase which I envy in his brother's new relationship but I wouldn't dare trade that in because I feel so comfortable in this relationship. Nothing beats being able to just sit in the same room in silence and feel so comfortable just holding each other.
Now time to care for that little monster of mine. Shush, it's a pet name. :)
By the way, I'm a fool online. I type and use .z.z.z.e.z.sd.s.s from time to time just to mock p30pl3 wh0 type lyke dis and use .z when trying to type 's. Yeah, I know I'm computer savvy and one of the elite. Teehehe.z.z
