And a day....

a dollar sign is the cheesiest 

My husband has this obsession now.  He has always thought that he totally has solved the marriage issues people sometimes have.  That would be for going to sleep angry.  He said he could NEVER go to sleep angry, if he grew accustomed to hugging me, and praying together every night before bed.

Since the first night we lived together after being married, we have gone to sleep hugging one another, and then praying together.  He says his prayers in Spanish, as I pray in English.  We pray for our children, my parents, his parents, my siblings, his siblings, and then any other prayer requests we may have had.  Right now we are going to a bible study.  He goes to a men's bible study, and I go to a women's bible study.  At my bible study we were given prayer requests from our prayer partners, so I had shared that with him.  So now we both pray for Judith, my prayer partner.

After we say our amen's.. he will immediately say, turn over, I want to rub your back.  The lucky girl that I am goes to sleep almost every night with a full body back massage.  My husband isn't like most who start out in this full back massage and then given up.  My husband goes from my head to my toes, and back up again.  He continues that until he hears me snoring.

Tomorrow we will be married 6 months.  For the entire 6 months he has been doing this.  Except lastnight I got him.  I waited for about 2 times, that he rubbed my head down to my toes, and I was growing sleepy but I fought back the tiredness.  I then did the awful thing and pretended to snore.. as I pretended to snore, I noticed his hand grow lighter, as he started to pull away from me and heard him say, "I love you, and a day."

You see, I tell him always... I love you, forever and a day.  He always repeats me.  So now as I hear him say, "I love you, and a day." I tried digging deep within to hold back all my laughter... I tried to resist laughing and not let him know I was still awake..

Just then it came out...a huge snort, and tons of laughter.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA now feeling bad,  I stopped in my tracks and he says... "What? What?" I surely couldn't tell him... but I couldn't lie to him either...

Amor, you just told you loved me and a day.. he said.... I do....  I said, but it's forever which means siempre and a day, which means y un dia...  He said.. Yes, that's what I said.. Uhmm.. no, you didn't.. yes, I did.. Ok I heard you wrong.. sorry.. I said let me give you a back massage... he said, no, no.. I want you to sleep good... Once again he started massaging.. head to toe... The massage that took forever and a day....

I've decided I won't interrupt him anymore.. he told me he cannot sleep if he doesn't know that he put me to sleep.. lol.. I love this man!!
