Love is...

I fished this out of my blog. It's in an entry dated July 27, 2008. We had just watched Hellboy 2 and the credits were rolling.

Me: So, if you had a choice to save the world or me, what would you choose?
Husband: I don't know.
Me: *SHOCKED*
Husband: *REALIZES DEADLY MISTAKE*
Me: That's a pretty honest answer.
Husband: *SHOCKED*
Me: So you'd save 6 billion people, but not me.
Husband: That's not what I meant!
Me: Too late. I'm traumatized.

It's been 22 years since we exchanged vows and rings. I still love him. Because I love the fact that we can be totally honest with each other... and then have a good laugh over it. 8D

Okay . . I just called my husband in here and asked him the question. His answer (without hestitation) was, "You!" He just knows better and doesn't want to see me pouting the rest of the day. Smart man . . he always says the pants, the dress, the coat, look good on me too. He's great at avoiding conflict. Great photo, Livia. Love your comment! :)

@summerfield I now have a macro lens but I still use the autofocus. I don't see myself switching to manual focus at all. Maybe if I survive and complete my 365 project, I'll try switching. Maybe. 8D
