Becca, you ARE beautiful. And that's a sweet relationship you two have. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that my "Mr. Wonderful" is not the only one in the world. It is truly mind-boggling, if you think about it. I don't know about you, but there were a good 10 (maybe more?) years when I doubted such a man existed (who wasn't already taken).
Your attitude toward smoochy is surely part of why he is all these wonderful things. It takes two to tango, you know!

And we won't even go into (incident deleted) or (body buried) or the pair of you strolling over to (name obscured) to raid the beerfer and slosh around in the (item never-mentioned).

Heh....

Give yourself a kiss on the cheek, and Old Whatsisname a smack on the... uhh... back.
