Look! I Just Invented the Verb "Beautifulling"!

The double-hundred and fourth thing I love about us is that you're taller than me. It means I get to be the cute one and you get to be the beautiful one, which honestly I think is so much easier than the other way around. I think you're so much better at beautifulling, and honestly it doesn't take much energy at all for me to be cute.

Which leaves me more energy for doing all the other things I love about us!

Thing Number Two Hundred and Three

The two hundred and third thing I love about us is surprising you and hearing you make that little, "oh!" squeak with your eyes as wide as they will go.

Interlude

The house is quiet ... cool and peaceful in hazy morning light filtered by the gauze of our curtains. No one is up yet but me. If I tread softly, and lean close, I can hear the gentle breaths of each of my lovers in turn -- a glorious gift that so few people in this life are lucky enough to experience.

And if I move very, very, very carefully, I can glide beneath our silken sheets without waking you, ease my body in close beside yours, let my hands alight feather-faint upon your skin, and find my way patiently to the touch that wakes you, gasping, in my arms.

This List!!!

The double-hundred-and-second thing I love about us is, if I said, "Hey, this thing we've been blogging at for months now feels like it's actually getting a little in the way of how this blog used to work when every single entry was special," you'd totally be okay dropping our list right then and there.

I'm not saying that, though! Maybe not every single one of these entries feels super-duper uniquely special like some of the posts before we started listing ... but a lot of them do! And I love putting comments on your posts so much! And I love the comments you put on mine!

At some point though, I may get lazy and say something like that, so it's great to know you'd be fine with it.

Thing Number Two Hundred and One

The two hundred and first thing I love about us is a sparkle of moonlight glinting in your eyes.

A Big One!

 The two-times-a-hundredth thing I love about us is being forever girlfriends.

Thing Number One Hundred and Ninety-nine

The one hundred and ninety-ninth thing I love about us is the little tremor of delighted energy I get when I know you're getting ready to burst out in excitement over something. Like tomorrow's entry.

Pizza stress ... ?

The one hundred and ninety-eighth thing I love about us is not having anchovies on pizza together. I know some of our yams like them every once in a while, but yuck! You're dependable about being a no-anchovies-on-pizza date. Which honestly reduces my pizza stress a bunch.

Thing Number One Hundred and Ninety-Seven

The one hundred and ninety-seventh thing I love about us is the worshipful peace that comes over me when I'm watching you and you don't realize it.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The one hundred and ninety-sixth thing I love about us is that neither one of us ever turns the alarm clock on! I mean, unless we're trying to get up early and surprise someone on a birthday or something. But that's only a few times a year. 

Mostly it's all sleeping in, all the time!

Thing Number One Hundred and Ninety-Five

The one hundred and ninety-fifth thing I love about us is the all but infinitely many memories I can call up of you that make me smile.
