SPC {With Someone 2}

the m-dog and the t-dog

...because you see the best in me
...because you've seen my worst and still love me
...because I've seen your worst and still love you
...because you're a wonderful father
...because right now you're getting B ready for bed so I can watch Rockstar Supernova without interruptions
...because you have so much to teach me about living simply
...because there's always room between us for growth and change
...because there was a specific moment in time when I knew it was you
...because we've laughed together, cried together, and loved together
...because you never stop surprising me
...because there are so many sides of you that I don't even know about yet
...because you always check the mouse traps so I won't have to
...because you're one of the best cooks I know
...because you always take out the trash, a chore I hate
...because you do more than your fair share around the house
...because you never knock my dreams even when they change over and over again
...because we've both screwed up a million times and we've both forgiven each other
...because I feel safe with you
...because when we get to the end of ourselves, when we just don't think we can take another step, we always do
...because I've never doubted you love me
...because I don't tell you enough how much I love you
...because I'm sorry for the times I've betrayed your trust and used your fear and weakness against you
...because you're my best friend

*I know I've used this pic before but it seems to be the only photo of us together over the past YEAR.  One of us is always behind the camera.

Dude.

Dude!

[DebR]

Y'all need a tripod and a timer! :-)

That said though, I LOVE this photo and the post is just wonderful.

[Dan]

The words make the photo... :D

[beansprout]

This is a great shot. Hope you enjoyed Supernova. Just curious who you are rooting for?

[Jos]

I like those reasons...those seem like really, really good reasons...

[Amy]

"...because I feel safe with you" - that has to be the best reason, right? I love that feeling!

And your photos are divine. They are so inspiring!

[gkgirl]

list...such sweetness,
:)

[snowsparkle]

michelle, the generosity and love in this piece made me cry (and i don't cry easy). to see the way you and trey are knit together reminds me to notice, appreciate and celebrate the little moments in relationships. beautifully written. thankyou.

[bb]

well i'm glad you posted that pic again, because i hadn't seen it and it's simply stunning :-)

[erina]

wonderful pic, even if it's an old one. it so captures your words perfectly!

and wonderful words. it's like a list of all the great (and not so great) things of a relationship... keeping it real and beautiful.

[NessieNoodle]

such a cool photo!
and wonderful wonderful words.

[melba]

Of course on our blogs we write about our perspective and our fellings...usually when we are emotional a bit. So I think I have not heard that much of your partner from this point of view...I only "know" you and want to protect you. So it is nice to hear you say these things about your partner; to feel that he is worthy of you.

[Teresa]

Very cool picture!
And what wonderful words to say.

[samantha]

This picture is amazing, and it's very loving, to be reflected in the eye of the one you love and whom you love.

We also have the problem of not having a lot of pictures together, because I'm ALWAYS the one taking pictures. And you know, my beau is so handsome that he deserves tons of pictures - how is it possible that he's more attractive every day? :)

This tribute to T is very special. You should print it out and tuck it under his pillow, or somewhere he'll find it and feel very loved!!

[Darlene]

great picture and your list is fabulous

and I'm sure that he could make one just as great too

lovely you

[Glam Jo]

LOVE this. Love it.

[danielle]

i really enjoyed this post :)

[melissa]

Hey, awesome shot!!

[C. Delia]

Loved the perspective here--very interesting image...the words were so tender and true--I'm glad you've found one another and keep growing/going. Beautiful...

[Lina]

I love this! The photo (smart!) and the text.

[BZ]

Great idea. Great shot. Great execution. Love it!

[Kim Carney]

I think you have "conquered" you new camera. photos are fabulous.
And your relationship is for those on the outside to envy.

[tongue in cheek]

love is yours and it looks good!
