Today, April 4, marks the second year that I have been married to the very best guy on the entire planet — my gracious, romantic, hunky, and adorable spouse! Thanks once again to our home state of Maryland for being the first state to permit same-sex marriage by popular vote! <\/p>\n
I also say “+22” in the title of this post because come April 25, we will have been together for 22 years. I cannot say that we would have married on the day we met; however, I knew even back then that “he was the<\/em> guy.”<\/p>\n So how will we celebrate our second year “cotton” anniversary? We will lay nestled in each other’s arms and simply talk — or not — and just enjoy each other’s peace and comfort.<\/p>\n Whenever we do rise, I will prepare fresh home-made gluten-free waffle for my beloved husband — his favorite. I also got him some special gluten-free cereal while I was in Hawaii. I think he will like it.<\/p>\n I have purchased some really good steaks from a specialty butcher which I intend to grill for our dinner, complimenting the beef with home-made sides of my spouse’s favorites of green beans and mashed potatoes. I’ll even make a gluten-free cake for dessert.<\/p>\n We aren’t going out, no dining or dancing, no visiting friends… just “us.” Can’t think of anything that I would rather do but spend the day with my husband, the love of my life.<\/p>\n Life is short: celebrate!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, April 4, marks the second year that I have been married to the very best guy on the entire planet — my gracious, romantic, hunky, and adorable spouse!

\nFirst, we will begin with a warm and long snuggle as the sun rises. While I enjoy my early morning walks with my senior walking partner, today I will not be doing that — instead, I will nestle next to my man and watch the golden rays of sun make the trees in the forest behind our house glow brilliantly.<\/p>\n![\"Spice\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Spice-233x300.jpg?resize=233%2C300\")
Then we will spend the day together doing whatever needs to be done. There are some “outside chores” and post-winter cleanup tasks that my spouse wants me to do. Then we may watch a movie (at home) or otherwise not do much of anything but spend time together.<\/p>\n
