the ring

Just when I think I've come to know everything there is to know about my wife, she surprises me. There are so many sides to Laura. She is at once calm and collected while also anxious and scattered. She is reserved while also loquacious. She is graceful while also clumsy. She walks the straight and narrow while veering off onto the wild side. It's not that my wife is totally unpredictable or moody. She's far from those characteristics but she is a complex person and I love that about her. For example, I'll never forget the day she walked through the door with her new nose-ring. I was in awe. She had mentioned that she wanted one but I never expected her to really get one. She blew my mind. (And, for your information, I think the nose-ring on Laura is totally hot!) This coming weekend we will celebrate Laura's birthday. I can't wait to celebrate many more with her because I've got much to learn about this wife of mine. In the meantime, I'll keep admiring that nose-ring!
