My true love

Thursday, February 14, 2013

Here is a list of things that I love about my husband, Calvin:

Perfect butternut squash soup every Thanksgiving.

Actually enjoys family get togethers.

Free swimming lessons from a certified lifeguard.

Thinks my eggplant casserole is good.

Cranks Bon Iver in the morning.

Vacuums more than I do.

That time he played quietly with Oliver on a Saturday morning while I slept til after 9.

Knows how to order at Starbucks.

Doesn't use Facebook, Instagram, twitter or tumblr.

Enjoys shopping?

Knows that "it better be fair trade or less".

Smiles when I make hippy dinners, unless its a curry bowl.

Likes me even though I'm a definite weirdo.

I feel safe when he's driving.

I feel safe when I'm sleeping beside him.

Watches the History channel for pleasure.

Picks good friends.

Lets me eat his pickles.

What is my idea of happiness? “I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor - such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children, perhaps - what more can the heart of man desire?” Who is Amy Joy? I am a holistic nutritionist and dietary planner.
