Kidding. A happy birthday to my wonderful, sexy, intelligent, understanding, funny and amazing husband. I wish very much I could find the words to say all that I want to about him and how I feel, but he really is indescribable. He is home to me; in him I find my greatest comfort, my greatest [...]

She insists on calling me Mrs. IPia. I insist on correcting her and telling her my name is Mrs. WordNerd WordNerdia IPia. She then clucks dismissively and tells me that I’m ultimately Mrs. IPia. Um.

“You and your wife will be happy in your life together.”
—Fortune cookie that IP and I split, with the fortune going to IP’s side of the cookie so that he had to read it. It could not have been more perfect.

IP: *paraphrasing an email from a friend* And she says that she can’t wait for the wedding and to give you a hug.
WordNerd: Aww.
*IP stands and gives WordNerd a hug, then sneaks in a butt pinch for good measure*
WordNerd: I really hope that wasn’t in the email.
IP: I’m just putting my own spin on it.
