…agreeing to be a Mathlete for Halloween.
…bringing me peppermint tea in bed when I don’t feel well.
…encouraging me when I feel I’m doomed to fail.
…kitchen dancing.
…listening to me carry on about nothing forever.
Love is …
…reminding me to stick to my guns.
… not judging when I watch too many episodes of Weeds in one sitting.
…hugging me when I walk through the door after another 14-hour day at school.
…leaving love notes for no reason.
Love is…
…understanding what I mean when I’m too embarrassed to say what I mean.
… knowing which drink I’ll like best.
…saying you’re sorry and meaning it.
Love is…
…establishing new traditions and introducing one another to old ones.
…singing too loud to songs only we know.
…cleaning the litter box twice a week because the smell makes me gag.
…eating my cooking when even I won’t.
Love is…
…calling the kitty to bed because I like when he walks on my back.
…pushing me to try harder.
… getting up early every Saturday to go to breakfast.
…washing the dishes.
Love is…
…updating my iPhone because he knows I never get around to doing it myself.
…having patience when I’m flying off the handle over something silly.
…reaching for my hand in the parking lot.
…cultivating extreme nerdiness.
Love is…
…telling me I look cute when I’m in my pajamas.
…discovering something new about one another all the time.
…letting me warm my feet on his legs.
… surprising me with a Schwinn cruiser.
Love is…
…coexisting.
…watching our favorite shows together.
…ruining good pictures with silly faces and creating even better pictures.
…making up cheesy songs about one another.
Love is…
…attempting to fix my problems whether I want him to or not.
…believing in me.
…supporting even my craziest decisions… and then pouring me another glass of wine.
Love is being grateful for every phone call, every kiss, and every day.

Ha, thanks! The best part of the costumes was the fact that all the patches on our letter jackets were true. His read "Engineering All-Star," "Band President," and "National Honor Society." Mine said "ResNet Manager," "Choir President," and "Quiz Bowl."
