Flashback Friday: More than love...

When Cliff and I started dating, before those 3 special words popped out of our mouths, our conversations would go something like this:

Cliff: I like you. A lot.
Kendal: I more than like you.
Cliff: What is "more than like"?
....trying to get it out of me first (which didn't happen. I held out. And our first "I love you" is a Flashback Friday in and of itself).

Once we progressed to those words, it then went:

Cliff: I love you sooooo much.
Kendal: I more than love you.
Cliff: What is "more than love"?
....sincerely trying to figure out what that term would be. So we started making up words that meant "more than love".

Well, one day when I was pregnant, full belly and all, we were taking a walk, and this was our conversation:

Cliff: I got it!
Kendal: What?
Cliff: More than love. I know what it is.
....then he rubbed my big belly and said, "THIS is more than love. Literally. Right here. Our baby."

Sweet, huh?! I have such a sweet husband, whom I love love love. He spoils me, and after 4 years of marriage, I still feel 16 with him, and just as giddy as our high school dating days.
