smit
Posted by in this & thatReason #4786 why I am still in deep smit with my husband after almost 10 years of marriage:
Me: “Hey, don’t we have that party for your work tonight?”
Him: “Yeah.”
Me: “Are we supposed to bring something to that?”
Him: “Yeah, a dessert.”
Me: “Okay, so what do you think we should make?”
Him: “Well, I didn’t have time to make anything, and I didn’t want you to have to use up any of your writing time, so I thought we’d just get something at the store.”
Me: Swoon.
Of course I made something. I’m no chef, but desserts are my favorite thing to make (and eat). But I love that he knows that that brief hour when the kids are napping belongs to writing and that he respects that. He’s the best. For me, I mean. I’m sure your significant other is the best for you. Isn’t that great?

I'm Ally Condie, author of the MATCHED trilogy: MATCHED, a #1 New York Times Bestseller, its sequel, CROSSED, and a third book to be released in November 2012. In my former life, I taught high school English (and I still keep my license current, just in case!). In my current life, I write, read, run, and hang out with my husband and three boys. I post here on Tuesdays (and other days if the mood strikes me) and I'm on twitter (@allycondie).
Awww! What a man. My honey supports my writing too. He’s awesome. =)
That’s so sweet!
I tell my students all the time that the idea of romance isn’t the bouquet of red roses (although sweet) at the end of a black tie dinner and horse-drawn carriage through the park. It is the realization of what is precious and important, paying attention to it and encouraging it’s progress.
Way to find the romance.
