Oh how I love thee...
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I don't know if I've written about this yet but I have to today, if I put it on my mental list of "Things I gotta post" it will never get done.
Vanness had never been to a wedding before, she's 54 and our wedding was the first she's ever been too. She says we got it "right on". BHAHAHA She got so drunk! haha!! But okay this is not the day to talk about that.
This is what she tells everyone about the wedding cememony.
"I almost cried like 5 times!! The way he was looking at you, I was like 'oh my God am I really seeing this?? LOOK HOW MUCH HE LOVES HER!!" Blah blah she will go on forever if I don't change the topic to her having slamed 5 shots plus the champain toast....she's like 95 pounds!!! Yeah....totally smashed at the end...oops off track, sorry.
The first time she told me this she asked me why I wasn't looking at him.
"Girl I was like 'That girl needs to look up and SEE how he's LOOK'N at HER!' and you'd just look up for a second then just look back down. Why??"
"Cause when he looks at me like that it makes me blush, he'll look at me like that when I have chicken stuck between my teeth and my hair's a mess."
So she's been calling Jamie "The Notebook" after the movie since she said she's only ever see a man look at a woman like that in that movie. It really flatters me though I'm not so into that movie. WTF was that's chick's problem?
Today since Jamie and Anthony are still out of town Jamie asked me to go pick up their paychecks. I've done it about 3 times before. Today I walk in and this happens...
Me: Hi, I'm Mel *cut off*
Recpt: I know who you are.
Me: I need to pick up Jamie and Brian's checks. I'm not sure Brian's last name...*cut off again
Recpt: Your Jamie's wife right?
Me: Yeah.
Recpt: *calls to another lady* Hey this is Jamie's wife!
Other Lady walks over
OL: Hi!! I don't think I've meet you before, it's nice to meet you.
Me: Hello
OL: Have you meet Molly?
Me: Umm I don't think so. I remember you. *speaking to Recpt.*
Recpt: Yeah she's been here about 3 times.
OL: Hey Molly come here, Jamie's wife is here!
Molly walks over
Molly: Oh it's so nice to meet you. Jamie asked me if I had meet you.
Recpt: Congratulation! *I see her checking out my rings*
Molly: Jamie called me today and said "Oh you haven't meet Melanie yet....well, you'll know her, she's the pretty one."
all the girls ohh and awww about how cute it was.
Me: *getting totally embarassed* Uh yeah he's such aaaa.....dork.
They all started telling me how much he seems to love me and how "smitten" he is with me.
I love him. He makes me feel so wonderful and beautiful. I know that I am totally spoiled!
