Fanatical about my fanatic-loving husband.

Last night: 9:45 pm.

Me: Hey sugar pie pookie sunshine, did you see that it's nearly 10 grand for a 6 day Disney vacation for our family before we pick up Meadow and while Clover is still young enough to fly free?

Him: Wow. That's a lot.

Me: Well, I've been thinking about Disney anyway-I'm not sure I'm up for it. With the super abundance and excess and extravagance. When our daughter's mother died because she didn't have access to HIV medication and babies all over the world are starving, relying on Plumpynut to keep them alive, (and that's only where it's available) and girls younger than our daughter whose parents have died are sold into sex trade, I may not personally feel free to enjoy a Disney vacation....ever.

Him: Okay. We don't have to go to Disneyland.

Me: But what about the fact that that puts me in the annoying freak who can't just loosen up and love myself some Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck category? Those princesses are awfully pretty.

Him: I'm fine with it if you don't love those guys. The princesses have nothing on my girls. I'm not annoyed by your freakishness. I'm used to it. Hahaha.

Me: You know, that will make me look like a fanatic. Anyone who does something as * Serious and Extreme* as boycotting Disney is a fanatic. Don't you care that you're married to a fanatic?

Him: Anyone with strong convictions will be viewed that way. Just don't tell people if you don't want to be called names. And don't inform anyone else they shouldn't go to Disneyland. They *may* not share your views.

Me: So you're good with it?

Him: I don't mind. I'm not surprised. Who cares how people view you?

Me: I think it only costs around $5,000 to build a freshwater well in Ethiopia. We could take a half as expensive vacation and fund a well.

Him: Alright. I would rather spend the money that way. When we're ready. We've got a trip to Africa to pick up our daughter on the agenda first.

Me: Really? Muffin cup honey hive! I love love love you Mr. Bald Man.

I want to remember this.
One moment in a lifetime of many where I am reminded of the extraordinary gift of this man who loves me as I am, fanaticism and all. I have no doubt he will one day follow through with that well.
God has been good to me.
I am so grateful.
