how do I love thee? ( a retelling )

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love you to a height I cannot reach, because I am short.

I love you with everything I am, and with a little bit more that I’m not quite just yet.

I love you to a level that I don’t really understand, and when I think about it, it freaks me out just a little bit.

I love you loudly, and proudly, and I’ll sing and dance about it if you ask real nice.

I love you in a way that’s different from anyone else I’ve ever loved.

I would pick you all over again.

I love the way you look at me, and refuse to see everything that’s wrong with me.

I love the way you laugh really really big when I say something funny… mostly, because you think I’m funny.

I love you at breakfast, and at lunch, and at dinner, and would rather have you than any of those… but would really rather we just ate together.

I love the way you talk and the way you smell and the way your brain works (most of the time).

I love your commitment to everything you do, including the stuff I have to talk you into doing.

I love you when you’re loving me, and even when you’re annoyed with me, I love you for the way you deal with it.

In the way you love our children, I see my future.

I love that we made this choice, and I will continue to love you, long after we don’t remember our names.

These pictures, edited by me but taken by Amanda Williams (a sweet up-and-comer we’re proud to help every chance we get!), are a months-early sneak peek at something pretty awesome. All will be revealed in January… if I don’t combust from waiting that long. 🙂
