"Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind"

One of my favorite movies is The Princess Bride. It is an oldie, but goodie! On of our earliest dates (probably 3rd or 4th date) Mr. Man started quoting the Princess Bride movie for fun...how could I NOT fall in love with this man??

The quote in the title of this post is from that movie. Our favorite movie. There are so many wonderful quotable quotes in that movie! I just love it!

Anyway, Mr. Man and I have been married now for almost 10 years (we celebrate our 10th anniversary on the 29th) and have known each other 13 years. There have been some ups and certainly some downs too, but I wouldn't change what we have now for anything in the world. I think, in the end, the downs have made us stronger as individuals and as a couple too.

This man I married almost 10 years ago, is my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my best friend, a great teacher, a great father to our three wonderful kids and I trust him with everything that is in me. This man has the ability to bring butterflies to my stomach when he walks in the room - still to this day, 10 years later!

Things I know now, that I didn't know nine years ago:
*I sleep better with him right beside me.
*I love having him to share my secrets with.
*I love watching him with his kids.
*I love laughing with him.
*I married my best friend.
*I need his strong arms and hands that he provides when I am sad or scared.
*He loves me even when I mess up.
*I prefer to sit in the middle of the couch so that I can be as close to him as possible.
*I do things to make him happy even if I would rather do something else.
*He does things just for me even when he wants to do something else.
*He gives up football to be with me.
*I have experienced love at first sight.
*I have experienced the most passionate and most pure kisses of all time!

I can't wait to see what the next 10 years of marriage brings me.

Here is a quote I really like:
