<div style="text-align: center;">Today is a day for reflection.<br />Reflecting on eight years.<br />Years filled with joy, love, children and friendship.<br />And <span style="font-style: italic;">so</span> very much kindness.</div>
<p><a class="highslide img_6" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DEPuKIoxvxE/R9pn7gQAWaI/AAAAAAAABtc/jZjLreKmpQE/s1600-h/mugoflove.jpg" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DEPuKIoxvxE/R9pn7gQAWaI/AAAAAAAABtc/jZjLreKmpQE/s400/mugoflove.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177564993582815650" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>For as long as we&#8217;ve been together, he has woken early each morning and made me coffee.<br />Uncoaxed by yours truly.</p>
<p>At first, when we were dating, I thought it was just his cute little way of making his sale.<br />We worked together in the same building and he would bring me my favorite coffee each morning.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalurah/486000353/" title="the love of my life... by kalurah, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/199/486000353_67b64ac5ed.jpg" alt="the love of my life..." height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">&#8220;Yes, I am the most considerate guy you have ever met <span style="font-size:85%;">(aside from your father)</span>, I can make you laugh uncontrollably, I have that adorable little dimple on my left cheek when I smile at you AND I will bring you coffee each and every morning&#8230;..<span style="font-weight: bold;">if</span> you will have me.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">&#8220;I&#8217;m going once. Going twice.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">SOLD!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalurah/430181767/" title="jason &amp; I... by kalurah, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/184/430181767_5dd7487423.jpg" alt="jason &amp; I..." height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Yes. I bought it. I bought the whole package. And it <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">wasn&#8217;t</span> just his way of making his sale.<br />No false advertising, no tricky gimmicks. Just the plain and simple, honest to goodness truth.</p>
<p>Each passing year, I&#8217;ve coyly waited for it to wear off. Maybe if I really make him mad, he&#8217;ll slip up and be imperfect just once.</p>
<p>Oh sure, there&#8217;s the usual &#8220;toilet seat shenanigans&#8221; and his personal #1 top single hit,  &#8220;Log Sawing Lullaby&#8221; he showcases each and every night.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalurah/841169470/" title="window self portrait... by kalurah, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1338/841169470_e8849cea2b.jpg" alt="window self portrait..." height="454" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>But <span style="font-style: italic;">every</span> relationship has these little hiccups. And we won&#8217;t even delve into <span style="font-weight: bold;">my</span> bad habits. Not here.</p>
<p>No, I have it pretty good. And unfortunately, I tend to take it for granted.<br />That is just <span style="font-weight: bold;">one</span> of my many flaws.</p>
<p>So, this is for you, babe.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalurah/457844400/" title="happy 7th anniversary... by kalurah, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/189/457844400_6d6a79195e.jpg" alt="happy 7th anniversary..." height="473" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>This Saturday, we leave town, just you and I to celebrate these 8 wonderful years together. And for those five days leading up to our departure, I will be sharing with everyone ALL that I am thankful for, in you.</p>
<p>Undoubtedly, I will leave something out but for the most part, I think you will know and fully understand just how grateful I am to have found you.<br />And to have never lost you.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">I love you.</span></p>
