If you’re not a fan of my “OMG I love my husband so much”
posts … you may want to skip this one.
This past weekend LML and I went to his work Christmas
party. I’ve never experienced something
on this scale. There were about 3,000
people at the convention center. We
booked a wonderful hotel room at a spectacular rate. It was a king suite on a corner so there were
windows everywhere. We did what we
always do when we first check into a hotel …. Turn on HGTV and have a
drink. Cable is fun when someone else is
paying for it. Then we got all gussied
up and headed out to catch the shuttle.
The party was really well done.
No need to drink and drive or pay for cabs, the company looked after
everything.
We walked into the main hall after checking our coats and it
was beautiful; lighted seats and tall lit tables to enjoy cocktails and
chat. We got some drink tickets, grabbed
a beverage and started to mingle. We
first met LML’s new sub-leader, a lovely man and his lovely wife. I waited for LML to introduce me (which is
weird for me because I usually introduce myself), but I know LML likes
introducing me as “his wife” (and that makes me a bit melty!). I went on to tell his sub-leader that he
speaks rather highly of him and that made him smile. We chatted a bit about the gifts and moved
on. Nice people, and I like to make
people smile.
Later on, while at dinner two of LML’s coworkers found us
and wanted to say hi. I’d heard lots of
stories on these two characters so I was rather intrigued to meet them as
well. I smiled, made small chit chat as
one had been out east around the same time we were and the other has a second
job installing floors and I’d love for him to do ours. Just a few brief words and they were
off. LML and I had a lovely meal, a lot
of beverages and enjoyed the entertainment.
Instead of staying late to dance the night away, we caught a shuttle
back to our love hotel and enjoyed ourselves.
It was a really good night and I liked putting faces to the names from
the stories I heard.
Well, yesterday was the first day back to work and you know
there was going to be talk of the party.
I asked LML if there were any stories (3,000+ people and holiday party,
there’s bound to be something), but LML didn’t hear any of it. Just talk of people who enjoyed themselves
and thought the company had done an excellent job this year. One of his coworkers that I met told LML he
was really impressed by me and asked him “how did you manage to get her?” LML, in his overly modest way says “just
lucky I guess”.
Let me clarify exactly how he got me:
- He treats me like the center of the Universe.
- He spoils me with incredibly thoughtful gifts constantly.
- He puts secret love letters in my luggage to delight me when I travel.
- He loves me and my boys as if we’ve all been together forever.
- He’s my best friend with the same weird sense of humour I have.
- He’s hot … seriously smoking HOT.
- He takes care of us, cooks for us, and helps out as a full partner and parent.
- He kisses me with a passion and fullness that makes me weak in the knees.
- He is a kind soul and generous with his time and attention to people who matter.
- He’s loyal, trustworthy, loving, generous, strong, affectionate and smart.
Honestly, I’m the lucky one and I thank those lucky stars
every day that I found him and he loves me like no one else ever could. Thank you LML, you are my Sun and my Stars,
you are my forever!
