Nearly two months and 40+ inches of snow later, we're finally ready to play some much-needed catch-up.It's Valentine's Day so I'm dedicating this blog post to the beautiful woman on my right.
That's Erica. We've been dating/married since September 5, 1992. That's 6,006 days and counting.
Erica is a Sagittarius, whatever that means.
I think it has something to do with a half-man, half-horse looking dude. You know what they say about half-man, half-horse dudes? Big noses and lots of flies, right?
Anyway, whatever a Sagittarius is, it makes her a happy goof.
She laughs at my jokes. She also likes to dance and lip-sync to Jenny Lewis songs. She does a mean "Robot" dance and a wicked Hula-Hoop.
Erica likes ice cream at midnight and making sure that I never EVER do the house laundry.Apparently, I do not know how to fold clothes. I also launder whites, darks, satins, towels and American flags in one load.
I'm worried about Lake Erie.
Erica used to be faster than me when we would sprint race each other, so I got her pregnant three times in order to slow her down.
I am now faster than she is.
This is our family. From left to right: Dad, Caroline, Erica, Josephine, Henry and 3/4ths of Madelyn Holman (my niece).
The best part of our kids is the wonderful sampling of Erica in each one.
Caroline is mini-Erica. Henry has Erica's agility and athleticism (I can still run faster than him, though). Josephine has Erica's heart-melting compassion and the Hoffman thumb comforter.
Don't worry about me, though. Each of the kids have giant heads. That's my contribution.
I love Erica. This is our 16th Valentine's Day and while they probably aren't as laughingly awkward as they used to be when we were teenagers, we're still enjoying all of the moments year after year.To our blog audience, please commence with a collective "Awww."
P.S. I'm still faster than Erica.

AWWWWW...I am laughing and crying at the same time. The crying is probably because this post is incredibly sweet and also very funny. Happy Valentine's Day to you as well. I hope you like your box of chocolates:) You know what they say..."Sales is like a box a chocolates. You never know which vendor you're gonna get." Forrest Gump.
Correction- This is our 17th Valentine's Day together!
I was in DC in 1997. We missed that one.
But your heart is in the right place, so I'll let it go.
16, 17, 54...we're enjoying them together and that's what counts.
Awww. I just can't stop this.
Hi Holman Family-
