39 Moments
1. Grasping his hand (tightly) during each contraction.
2. Watching him dance with his daughter.
3. The giddy smile that appeared on his face the moment he was about to propose.
4. That first bouquet of flowers that I received at work. July 28, 2003. Many more received after that but that one still the most beautiful.
5. The card with those flowers: "Let the wooing begin." Swoon.
6. Being supported by those strong shoulders as I left the Goldeyes game heartbroken on August 8, 2003.
7. Silly poems.
8. Silly song lyrics.
9. Cooking our wedding meal together.
10.
11. "I’m feeling good about it."
12. Those brown eyes. They light up when he sees me and I don’t know what I ever did to deserve that.
13. Saturday morning cereal.
14. Sunday morning bagel, coffee and chocolate milk.
15.
16. His respecting that we needed to come home early from our honeymoon so that I could abandon him and head to folk fest.

18. Watching our nieces jump all over him pretty much every Friday night and a lot of Sunday nights too.
