the curious case of benjamin strader

there are so many things that ben does right. he takes care of me when i'm sick, encourages me anytime i want to go out with the girls, constantly makes me laugh, supports me in whatever i do, and is my partner in crime when it comes to potty-training. just the tip of the iceburg, i could go on & on.

that being said, the man can't be perfect...he's married to me. if someone absolutely perfect was married to someone with some very obvious flaws (moi), the universe would be knocked off its balance, wouldn't it?

i walked around the apartment today. and here is what i saw, all compliments of mr. benjamin. (this is serious, none of this was set up.)

i applaud him for giving it his best effort. i call them the "almost made-its" and really, am thankful he's trying. maybe after 6 more years, we can actually work to get all of these things just a couple of inches further to make their goal. we're almost there, i can feel it in my bones. in fact, just thinking about it gives me the chills.

so whaddaya say, sweet pea?

i'm just glad there is something he needs me around for. i was beginning to wonder what i could add to our relationship when he's so darn fantastic. love you bennigans!
