I am one of those fortunate enough to be married to their best friend. Eric and I have been a couple since I was 16 and he was 17. We have been a couple for nearly 14 years, married for more than 10. I am not sure how that time has passed so quickly, but I can say with certainty that things have only gotten better. Don't believe that nonsense about love fading or the seven year itch, all wrong if you are married to your best friend.
Since I am on the subject I thought I might share some of the things that make Eric so amazing...
1) He does the right thing. He has a strong sense of what is right and wrong and I can always rely on him to act on that sense.
2) You may have already noticed, but he is super dreamy.
3) He's been on the NEWS! If you are new to this blog then I should prepare you that we are obsessed with newscasters.
4) He is a a great listener. I am not a huge talker (funny that I never seem to run out of things to write about). I tend to work through things internally, but when I need to talk I need to talk. Eric is always there to listen, to really just lend an ear and only offer insight when called upon. Yes, he is also a great talker.
5)He makes me laugh...a lot!
For the record this is a picture from last Halloween, you may recall we went as Star Trek Vampires.
6) He inspires me. He will inspire you too if you let him. Seriously the guy can inspire anyone!
7) He is always doing something interesting. Yesterday he was a judge for an art exhibition, went to Tae Kwon Do, then worked as a curator before coming home to go thrifting with me (we were hunting for bad art to enter into the bad art show, more on that to come), then he worked on an art film project, before relaxing with his girls.
8) He is smart. He has the degrees to prove it, if you're into that kind of thing.
9) He is crazy talented. He is a musician. Photographer. Painter. Film maker. Writer. I could go on and on and on....
10) He is a great father! Cordelia adores him.
Thanks for indulging me this morning.

Ah, I love that post! We love Eric as well!
Awww.... I love this post!! Yay love!
What a sweet blog!
haha! I'm looking forward to the "bad art" show explanation.
Now that the whole internet world knows... How about shouting from the rooftop so your whole neighborhood knows?
That would be a great anniversary gift, whenever that is.
You always see those kinds of things in the movies...but I think it would be cool to do it in real life!
Great post! We think Eric's great, too!
(OT: The Missoula tea is WONDERFUL! So thoughtful of you to include a tea ball, too, because I can't find any of mine right now. ;-) I'll definitely be ordering more from them; have you tried their coffees?)
