Long & Happy life together

Ryan and I were asked the other day "What is the secret to a long and happy marriage?"

I thought to myself Why ask us? We've only been married ten years. Does that consitute "long"?

Then it occured to me: sadly, nowadays that IS long!

The things he says...

Ryan and I talk on the phone every day and send each other text messages. He said some things that made me laugh when I knew I was pregnant, but he didn't know yet! Once, I was teasing him about behaving himself up in Fort McMurray (read: no girlfriends!), and he sent me a message saying, My eyes are only for you.. I don't make enough to support more than one anyways :-) Uh-oh! Better ask for a raise, Honey!

Another time, I was telling him that I was having trouble sleeping. There was a lot going through my head, and I couldn't even tell him! But he sent me a message saying, I cant sleep either.. must have caught what you have. I don't think so, Honey! You gave it to me, but I don't think you can catch it back! ;-)

Not much is happening to make me "feel pregnant". I haven't had any morning sickness or cravings. One thing though, is that I am hungry almost all the time. But I am trying to be good! Lots of fruit, veggies, healthy stuff. I'm eating a lot of it, though! After spending last weekend with Ryan and eating quite a bit all weekend, on Monday after lunch I said, "Whew, I'm full!" He laughed and said, "I haven't heard you say that all weekend!"

The BEST one though, was on February 19 when he sent me this message: Happy family day, Love.
