.....Is how I need you.... and how you needed me too..

Obviously, I love my husband.  Though I VERY rarely say this.  I think the word 'love' becomes so cliche.  So easy to 'just say'.  And we all Love a long list of people... our parents, our children, our nieces and nephews, our close friends. 
But... more importantly, I Like Coach.

if you'd say goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
what else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
that hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
now I know that happiness goes on
that's where you found me
when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

 
Life for Coach, is blissfully simple. 
He begins each morning with the same goal:
Have a good work day.
Phone chat a few siblings (maybe a cousin) and giggle over how awesomely hilarious they are.
Order a pizza.
Slide any athletics into the course of his evening.
Notice how cute his children are and maybe call a sibling to remind them, how cute and funny his children are..
Live his day, in a manner his parents would appreciate.
And... get me to laugh.
If you add a basketball, a Busch Lite or a taco into the above scenario... you've described his perfect day.

and the greatest miracle of all
is how I need you
and how you needed me too
that hasn't happened for the longest time

 
He is always exactly and amusingly who you'd expect him to be.  There is hardly a person alive, who does not enjoy the company of Coach.  Me... especially.
Sure... being his wife is not a constant parade.
Of course, he irritates me.
Without fail, there are days the awesomeness of Coach, is certainly FAR LESS awesome for his wife.

Who knows how much further we'll go on
maybe I'll be sorry when your gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

Honestly, EVERY day, since the evening we met.. Coach has successfully accomplished his goal of making me laugh. (even when I'm annoyed, making my laugh more irritating for me and more of a score for him.) He really is... so darned likable.

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you oughta know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Husband-
I seriously Like you. 
I'm lucky to know you. (Don't tell anyone, I said that.)
Your greatest talent (in a long list) is the ability to make me smile (which many know... is not easy!)
Happy Anniversary, Coach. I still Do.

20 pts to anyone,
who remembers what was said,
about that above white dress... and marriage.
