little things #76-90 that I love about you

76. The way you sign your name on cards we are sending, giving it your best flourish and then proudly handing it over to me, only for me to see that you basically just printed your name. "That's not a signature," I always say, and you always protest that it is. Holy heavens, for as long as I live this will amuse me. So totally cute.
77. Being the fearless leader on our many outdoor adventures with my brother.
78. Your preference - nay, passion - for gummy bears.
79. That you listen to Ani DiFranco.
80. The superman move you do with the haircut cape.
81. That when you invited some co-workers over for a chili night, you worked around my crazy schedule because you said it wouldn't be the same if I wasn't there.
82. That you had the patience and perseverance to defeat that one super-stubborn section of wallpaper by the stove. I had long given up on that shit.
83. The hilarious hatred you have for our "Fisher Price" mailbox.
84. Your take on my family, which is always amusing and, admittedly, true.
85. How excited you get about Scrubs coming on, and the gusto with which you sing along to the theme song.
86. That when I meet up with one of my faraway friends, you come along because you want to see her, too.
87. That Tina Fey is your celebrity crush. I think it says something good about you that instead of the stereotypical starlet sexpot, your favorite famous female is smart and brunette and wears glasses.
88. That you bought a gondolier tshirt in Venice and, moreover, that you don't really get the humor in that.
89. That whenever we see a couple taking pictures of each other at some scenic spot, you offer to take one of them together.
90. The conversations we have and how there are always things you want to show me or tell me about. I love being your best friend.

Six years ago today we danced at our wedding to "I've Got the World on a String." I hadn't listened to the song in awhile, so recently I popped into my car cassette player the Sappy and Danceable Jazz tape you made me in high school. (Which, can I just say? That you made me a mixed tape of jazz and not shitty pop songs is another thing I love about you.) As I listened to the lyrics, I thought, Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. What a world, what a life - I'm in love.
To explore the world and share this life with you is a delight, my love.

I do hate the mailbox.
Congrats you guys! Six years! Has it really been that long? Oh, well, it's not like we are about to turn thirty or anything...oh, wait...
i swear, before i even got to #86 (and i know you weren't referring to blog-friends-you'd-never-met-before), i had my comment already composed: i still consider it a true blessing to have met such a lovely, and in love, couple as the two of you. i'm so glad you've been graced with each other for the rest of your lives. happy anniversary.
(oh, and rob's comment totally cracked me up, particularly after such a lovely tribute. SO cute! and jld's comment...well, let's just say, us "over thirty" folks envy you young'ens. i mean, do you realize that, when we were kids, we had to walk to school, in the snow, five miles, without any shoes?! THIRTY IS NOT OLD!)
;-)
Happy anniversary, and many, many more. And I just have to say, I KNEW what kind of mailbox you must have before I even clicked on the link.
oh my, that mailbox sure doesn't look like it's designed for something as innocuous as mail. never seen the kind over here. the way the product description is written cracks me up. you'd think you're buying a SUV or something.
yay for kelly & rob! you two are humanising.
So few people in this world have what you have. Cherish it. I know you will.
Happy anniversary you two!
What can I say? I just love you guys so much!
Gorgeous. You are the envy of many people. Happy anniversary!
Geez, you guys are too cute! Happy Anniversary!
PS. I would hate that mailbox too :)
Wow that is so awesome. Happy Anniversary!
What a nice post! I love that you find the hatred Rob feels towards the mailbox cute. AND he listens to Ani? That's great.
Happy Anniversary!
there's something in my eye
So sweet...congrats and may you enjoy many more!
