What a romantic story! Best wishes to you both for a long and happy life together.

I married my best friend, and even though there are days when I think I might kill him, I know we were made for each other.

The wagon wheel coffee table remark made me belly laugh! In our case, it’s a bird calls clock that his grandfather gave us. Do you know what it’s like to wake up to some random tweeting and wonder what’s flown into your house?

Everything in life can be related to three movies: When Harry Met Sally (that’s where the wagon wheel coffee table came from); Casablanca and one other, the name of which I’ve forgotten, but it stars whatshisname and whosis…you know the one I’m talking about, right?

Definitely looking for the Wagon Wheel coffee table! That made me laugh out loud.

I had to laugh out loud when I saw the chair. I bought one just like it in mushroom leather last fall. It is not my aesthetic either (I hate that round base) but the fact is it was the most comfortable chair I found. I like to think of it as the deliberate mistake I wove into my house ( in the manner of Navajo weavers) so as not to be perfect! The fact is you don’t see it when your sitting in it and being good to your back. Just enjoy that you get the chair AND your sweetie. Wishing you all happiness.

Congratulations, Melissa! That’s wonderful. December 3rd, my husband and I are celebrating 20 years of marriage, and just yesterday someone asked me: What would you say helped you make it through the long haul? I answered: a healthy dose of respect and compromise. I’m sure there’s a whole lot more, but mostly I think compromise is the biggest one. After all, I hate it when things don’t go my way, but what’s a girl to do?

Melissa–Your journey makes my heart leap for joy. Chair, schmair…think eclectic. Bring it all on. Congrats to you and your girl.

Love you,

Isn’t love so much about compromise? After living alone for the last few years, I don’t know how I would incorporate a new person and their stuff into my most perfect abode. But as you write Melissa, when the way opens you need to be ready to walk through. Congratulations to you on this amazing time in your life. Your pals will miss you madly, but knowing you’re happy makes it a-ok. Bring on the dang chair!
