Today is our 18-month anniversary (*cue Tony Toni Tone*), and Lu just made my blogging life really easy by giving me the sweetest card ever.  Most cards are so cheesy that I've sometimes spent half an hour in the card aisle picking up and putting down cards; but Lu and I have had some great luck with Hallmark, including getting matching cards for our one year anniversary... in different states from different stores. 

This is just another example of Hallmark getting it right:

"You Are The One"

You are the one

whose hand has always

slipped into mine

when words

just weren't enough....

You are the one

who has been by my side

whenever skies looked dark....

You are the one

who knows me deep down -- 

who has cried with me

and laughed with me

and shared things with me

that no one else

would understand....

You are the one who loves me...

the only one who could ever be

the other half of my soul.

Now on to an even bigger decision: Should we get mango white chocolate bread pudding or tart yogurt for dessert tonight?
