    5 years and counting

    I don't post as frequently as I should but I thought today being the special day that it is (our 5th wedding anniversary), I should put something up for everyone to read and thus know how much I love my wife.

    I love Nichole more than (in no particular order):
    -The Cubs
    -my music collection
    -my science
    -my sunglasses
    -Magnum PI
    -sitting around on a Sunday watching golf
    -sitting around on a Sunday watching the Cubs
    -sitting around doing pretty much anything on a Sunday
    -pie, cake, donuts, and any other sweet treat you can think of

    Things I love to do with Nichole (Also in no particular order)
    -go to concerts, especially at the Blue Note
    -watch Piper sleep in her crib
    -watch Piper play in her excersaucer
    -roughhouse like we were still little kids
    -watch TV shows we recorded on tape
    -try new restaurants
    -go on roadtrips (even small ones to crappy places like Rolla!)
    -go to church
    -walk around Target or Hyvee
    -watch MST3K and laughing until our sides hurt
    -relaxing on a Saturday morning

    Things that I am looking forward to doing with Nichole:
    -buying our first house
    -making that house a home
    -raising Piper (and whoever else may show up someday)
    -moving overseas and seeing Europe
    -going to Abigails for dinner tonight
    -growing up and growing....more seasoned!

    Some song lyrics that I associate with Nichole:

    Comes a time
    by Neil Young

    Comes a time
    when you're driftin'
    Comes a time
    when you settle down
    Comes a light
    feelin's liftin'
    Lift that baby
    right up off the ground.

    from Muzzle of Bees
    by Jeff Tweedy

    Sun gets passed, sea to sea
    Silently, and back to me
    With the breeze blown through
    Pushed up above the leaves

    With the breeze blown through
    My head upon your knee
    Half of it's you, half is me
    Half of it's you, half is me

    from War on War
    by Jeff Tweedy

    You have to die
    You have to die
    You have to learn how to die
    If you want to want to be alive

    Okay?

    from Shot in thr Arm
    by Jeff Tweedy

    Something in my veins, bloodier than blood

    from Razor love
    by Neil Young

    But I got faith in you,
    It's a razor love
    that cuts clean through.
    I got faith in you,
    It's a razor love
    that cuts clean through.

    from The Gash
    by Wayne Coyne

    Will the fight for our sanity
    Be the fight of our lives?
