free sex

quadruple of my income

two vehicles

could get a house

lots of sex

my mother liked him (easy)

my father liked him (once in a lifetime occurrence)

Kirby gave his blessing (see my dad's reaction)

wanted a kid eventually

washer-dryer combo

liked his friends

"Trivial Pursuit" whenever I wanted!

sex often

no more spending the night....uh....

no more visiting him (on my way to church) at the house he shared with Webb

the other candidate was a pothead

major health insurance

tired of dating

there'd be no need to call him on the phone to change my tire or jump my battery

sex anytime

he had a Betamax

he had CDs

he thought I was beautiful

my friends were getting married

Tom Petty never showed

major sex

he had an awesome tie-dyed bedspread

he said he loved "St. Elsewhere"

he said he saw the existentialism of "St. Elsewhere"

"thirtysomething" was big and I was twenty-four, with thirty staring me in the face

I didn't want to go to grad school even though I was accepted

I was tired of diets

I could tolerate him for far longer periods of time than I could anyone else I'd ever met

he thought I was a genius

three words: awesome wedding gifts

I didn't want some other chick to nab him

I was in love.




**A great many of these are why we are still married.
