mush-brain, but in a good way for once

[mushiness alert!]

It has now been 12 years. Thanks to our British forebearer's obsession with base 6, that's a really big year! Especially because it's nicely split into two 6-year segments by our marriage (best idea ever btw). So, a very happy vday to you my helpmeet, spouse, favorite person, friend, true love. My novelist, my veggie curry maker, my tolerator of incessant cookie baking, my amazing do-the-taxes-singlehandedly, organize reams of papers, knows where that one thing is girl, my jeweler (shiny!), my ticket to the celestial kingdom and the hands that are pulling, holding, guiding, (dragging?) me along the right path woman, my defender of women's traditional ways, my fellow geek, my editor who loves kerning and fonts and layout, my mathlete, my best-remedy-for-sickness, my tyrannynormous, my reader, my artist, my crafty crafty crafter (of crafts), my forever love, mine mine mine. And to go with all of that, I'm yours. I give my life to you, subsume my selfishness (try), help you as full partner to raise our children and make our home a refuge, and work to get us all to exaltation together. I know we can do it, because we're giving our lives but gaining a together-life that is so much better. I love you. Yours. Mine. Ours.
