Dave and I like to play this annoying little game of one-upmanship in which we each declare that we love the other more.

I love you more!

No, I love YOU more!

Well. Dave thinks it’s a game. I’m actually pretty serious about it. In fact, I have evidence in my favor.

Look at the picture.

My husband and me

Check out his body language. What is it saying? Let me show you.

My husband and me and what he's really thinking

I know. This means I am less loved. And it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night. But it also means I am the winner. And winning is surprisingly warm, my friends.

Can you PLEASE post a pic of the two of you standing side by side from a year ago??? Different people. It is freaking fabulous! Congrats. (Oh yeah, and you love each other. ;) ) But I tend to see the positives here. And that, my friend, is that while you may love your man more, there is LESS of you there!

I’ve been looking through my pictures and I’m struggling to find one of us together from a year ago! I guess we were avoiding the camera.

That is longer an excuse, lady! So proud and inspired by you both!

Good call funny girl. I didn’t notice Dave was so tall before.

Comment by Leslie
2009-06-24 02:14:15

I’m not sure that he’s so tall as I’m so short. He’s 6′3″ and I’m 5′2″.

Okay, 5′1.75″.

Schmoopy!!!! I love that. Mike and I used to call each other that all the time, being stupid of course. And yes, winning is everything :)

Some people say that winning isn’t important. Some people would say those people are losers.

When I showed this to him, he walked away muttering, “Gonna get my own picture…”

That was funny.

Holy crap, you are getting skinny! You are both adorable, but yes, you win. Dave totally looks like he’s going to bolt. Was he maybe going to help Julia with the camera or something? And he wanted the picture to be perfect because he loves you so much? No? Okay, you still win.

I was 199 pounds this morning. I haven’t been under 200 pounds since the 90’s, dude.

Maybe he’s just intimidated by my incredible HOTNESS.

Clearly the man has issues. :)

I’d be worried he was going to leave if I wasn’t so good in bed. ;)

Bwhahahahaha! You are both looking AMAZING even though it’s clear you love him the mostest ;) (my hubby and I have the same arguement - guess I’m gonna have to get a pic like this too to prove I’m the winner)

Yes! Get a picture. It’s hard to dispute photographic evidence!

You both look SO great!!! And it seems like you’re both winners with that particular disagreement.

Comment by Leslie
2009-06-24 02:34:48

We are both winners. Except I’m a little more so.

Umm, wow. I’ve been gone for a little while… you guys look AWESOME! I mean, totally amazing. Good job, guys.

And I always love me a good Seinfeld reference…

Thank you!

You know, my jeans were actually a bit too big and kept sliding down that day. So, I’m actually even skinnier than I look, because those jeans were baggy and not so much filled with me as they were filled with air. Plus, the camera adds ten pounds, right?

There is NO WAY Dave loves you any less than you love him mate! That man would do anything for you and his wee girls. You know this of course!

Comment by Leslie
2009-06-24 02:38:41

Oh yes. But it’s much more fun to tease him.

It looks like Dave is standing on an incline and leaning towards you. That is a positive thing in my opinion.

At the very least, you were anchoring him.

Taking spills is a very real fear of the tall. I’m the same height as Dave, and I know this.

Comment by Leslie
2009-06-29 15:59:50

You know, you’re right. I often see Dave stepping carefully with his arms spread wide all, “Woah! Woooooaah!” trying to keep from falling. ;)

Haven’t see you around for a while, my friend. How are things?

that’s awesome - and yes, I agree you win! From now on he’ll be all authentic smiles and lovey-dovey in pictures just to rebound from this.

Comment by Leslie
2009-06-29 16:07:52

I can only hope. He’s got that tortured look in most of our photos. I could understand if we were living back in the day when you had to stand for hours for a picture, but it’s 2009. Dude, smile for thirty seconds!

Okay. This is very funny. I love that you can pick apart his body language like that. It’s something you can only do with someone you know so well. Cheers!

He claims that I completely misread him and he’s not thinking any of those things. I say, “The proof is in the picture, Mr. Man!”
