I sometimes wonder if we have a strange relationship. We've been together almost as long as we were apart and that means we know each other really well. I don't mean that our relationship is the greatest ever or that we love each more than you love your spouse, but in a world where divorce seems like no big deal, you kind of have to pat yourself on the back for really liking somebody after seventeen years, right? Josh drives me batty. Like crazy, kicking, screaming, batty. He knows exactly what buttons to push, how to make me smile and how to make me scream. He knows I hate repetitive noises like pen-clicking or toe-tapping.

I opted not to take my camera and instead enjoy having fun instead of trying to document it all, so we have plenty of iPhone snaps, but not a single actual photograph of us the entire week. We boarded a plane last Thursday afternoon and were in our Ft. Worth hotel room eating Dominoes delivery by midnight. I hate I didn't document my travel outfit (one of ...
