I feel lucky!

Dear Idaho,

I feel lucky. I get to wake up next to J every morning. I get to fall asleep with his arms around me, feeling him push my hair off my face, kissing my forehead so gently. I can't describe how peaceful that is.

With knee surgery coming up, he's been amazing. He's going to work from home so he can take care of me. He's coming with me to the hospital and waiting there while I get the surgery. And he's already telling me what I can and can't do: no cooking classes for two weeks. And no canoe race 5 days after surgery! I still really want to do that but he says we need to discuss it. Which sounds like a resounding "NO". We'll see....

Last night, I came home from volleyball a little pissed. He didn't realize it and was giving me a hard time but the minute he saw that I was mad about our game, he took it all back. What a zweetheart!

And when I thought that I had to host the bookclub, which means dinner for 10!, at the last minute, he was so helpful. He offered to help straighten up the house and suggested that he stop at Costco to get a tray of food pre-made. He's so thoughtful and he takes such good care of me.

Aside from the fact that he gave up sex for Lent!, I feel lucky to be with him every day.
