A few weeks ago. My counselor and I were talking about the anxiety I’m having about returning to work and how I should spend the next few weeks focusing on the moment rather than anticipating what’s to come. She asked me if there was something I wanted to do during my maternity leave that I haven’t done yet. The only thing that came to mind was that I had been saving the three seasons of “Gilmore Girls” DVDs I got as presents last Christmas and had really hoped to get through them before my time at home was up. She suggested that every afternoon I brew myself a pot of tea and watch one episode.<\/p>\n
Naturally, I went home that afternoon and watched five episodes.<\/p>\n
I finished season one a few days later, got through season two in a little over a week and am currently about half way through season three. When I told GTB how bummed I was that I’m almost out of episodes to watch, he reminded me that an entire season costs about $20 and we could always go get more.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, we went to Target to pick up a few necessities. As I perused the book section for something to read that isn’t about baby sleep patterns or pumping at work, GTB headed to the DVD section. When I went to find him, I passed the TV DVDs and grabbed season four of “Gilmore Girls.” I caught up with GTB and showed him what I got. Without missing a beat, he reached into the cart and showed me that he’d already grabbed seasons four and five. <\/p>\n
What a husband.<\/p>\n
Three years ago to the day, GTB and I had our first date, and I’m as excited about him as I was that first night. I love him more as more time passes. I am incredibly happy that I get to spend the rest of my days with him. I get a huge kick out of watching him be a dad to my daughter. And I can’t believe how lucky I am.<\/p>\n
So here’s to three years, GTB. And two more seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
