I love you more than catfood

Last night I had to work late to get some things prepped at work before our vacation. When I came home at 2 in the morning, my wife was asleep. I often can't see her in the bed when we have the winter comforter on, but I know she's there because she is giving off an enormous amount of heat and the dog curls up on her for warmth.

I settled in next to my little lava rock and prepared for my nightly ritual. I like to play match three games until my brain shuts down enough to sleep. I opened my tablet and saw this:

She had tucked a little card inside my tablet. As with many things that Satu finds in the world, she adds to the image so that it's something perfectly us.

I laughed and laughed. It tickled me so much. From the hot side of the bed, little sleepy burbles of laughter erupted from under the dog and we had a good midnight chuckle. One of the things that reliably makes me laugh, no matter how many times I see it is this little GIF of a raccoon scooping up two handfuls of cat food and tottering off on his hind legs with it. My wonderful wife will often mimic this video when stealing things, or whenever she just wants a laugh out of me. 

That's the thing, our house is always full of laughter because she is one of the funniest, smartest people I've ever met. She gets the details that make a thing silly and she's not too proud to do the blue footed boobie dance with me, or run down the hall like a raccoon. It's wonderful to live like this and to laugh and hold each other in the middle of the night on any given night of the week.
