My wife called me a couple hours ago and said that she had something for me as a little anniversary gift. She said that she wanted to write a short post for the blog today to tell you all how awesome I am, or at least that is how I interpreted the conversation. Anyway, I will let you just read what she said…

Greetings to all of Mr. Sparty’s friends! Mrs. Sparty here. Today is a very special day for Mr. Sparty and me. Today is our seven-year wedding anniversary, which, of course, ignites all those fuzzy feelings of the love that I have for my hubby! I wanted to give him a special gift to show him how truly blessed I am to be married to him, so I thought it would be nice to share a few things in the very area of space that he continues to share his very passionate views of whatever he is witnessing in the world of sports at the current time.

The world is full of cliche`s that interesting people like Mr. Sparty and myself just don’t want to live out. They say….(whoever this “they” are) that there is a” 7-year itch” in every marriage. On the contrary, Mr. Sparty and Mrs. Sparty have never had better days than the present time we are in! It’s been quite a journey thus far as every marriage entails. I must admit that it’s taken a lot of “I’m sorry’s” and “I was wrong’s” and “Please forgive me’s” to get to where we are today and sure that there will be more to come. Whatever this “7-year itch” is, it must be something of a symptom of greater evil that only true “love” can overcome…I’m so blessed to have a hubby like Mr. Sparty that has shown his love for me in so many ways.

This weekend was the icing on the cake when he took me to Broadway to see one of my all time favorite musicals….West Side Story. Mr. Sparty is not a Broadway kind of guy by all means! In fact, he can’t sit through anything longer than a half hour without checking scores of a game or whatever it is that he’s doing on that phone of his. Even though Mrs. Sparty doesn’t like cliche`s, she has on several occasions identified herself as a “widow” every fall when the world of sports is full of all kinds of activity. This year seems to be different….not because Mr. Sparty is any less obsessed with his teams, but because I’ve learned that I’m no different than him and that it’s up to me to embrace who he is wholeheartedly, or continue to complain in my own selfish misery whenever he’s watching 5 different games at once while typing on the computer! Afterall, I have my own set of things of this world that interest me, and that I have gone to extremes to “feed my appetite” as well! It hasn’t been until now that I can plainly see that Mr. Sparty and Mrs. Sparty aren’t opposites after all….the more I seek to find our similarities, the more they do exist. We are the perfect match!

Him taking me to see the show this past weekend opened my eyes to see that this man is everything and more of what a wonderful husband is, and makes perfect sense to me now that all I ever want to be is spending time with him and our beautiful lil’ Sparty! Yes, I could find things to complain about, like women just love to do with their husbands, but how can I when my sports-obsessed blogger-of-a-hub sat through singing and dancing and, not to mention, the theatrical gang fighting in pants that look like jeans but are really “stretchy pants”. Come to mention it…most, if not all athletes are wearing “stretchy pants” too …..except for golfers of course….they take sports fashion to a whole other level!
