I had a wonderful day! Why?, you might ask? Because Loghead woke up when my alarm went off at 5 am, and rubbed my back. It was the first real sign of AFFECTION in ages. I actually laid perfectly still, afraid he'd stop if I made the slightest move. I began to cry, I was so emotionally touched by the gesture. He knows every minute of my morning is scheduled (but in a good way) as I have a 40 minute commute, and I have to meet people to carpool and get Gibby ready to ride with us too. After a few minutes, he said he didn't want me to be late. He kissed my forehead and said he loved me. And it was the first time I FELT love in months...

I teased him about having a quickie in the shower. He hates mornings, and morning sex. Which is too bad, because that's before my day has started and I feel emotionally open- basically its before work and skids and stupid things he might say or do, can ruin my day. He said he was going back to sleep, but for me to start my day.

Imagine my surprise when he came in moments before I was ready to get out, with a lit candle in his hand. He turned out the lights and climbed in the shower with me. He pulled me close... I just laughed. And he held me.

That's it. Just held me.

And I never felt more loved, or more beautiful, or more special than I had in that moment.

And that feeling stayed with me all day. Through troublesome students, a computer malfunction, a long meeting, cooking dinner, dealing with the boys...

It reminded me of when we were dating. That sense of spontenaity... Wanting to squeeze time in together whenever and however possible...

Even though spring is still 2 weeks away, I felt like something new was growing... Love
