Does he love her, or what?!
I love that it seems like he’s completely in awe of her. Which, duh, of course we all are. But you really do get the sense that he still can’t quite believe she let him take her out for a movie and ice cream all those years ago:
I asked her out. She refused. I kept asking. She kept refusing.
“I’m your adviser,” she said. “It’s not appropriate.” Finally, I offered to quit my job, and at last she relented. On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate.
I had known those student loans were going to get me a great education, but I had no idea they’d get me my first date with the love of my life.” (via)
Barack, I cannot handle you and your marriage.

If you’re lucky enough to get to marry your best friend, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Michelle amazes me every day, and in the years we’ve been together, nothing inspires me more than watching her be a mom to our two girls.
Each of us has amazing women in our lives who give us strength and encouragement, and no matter what we do on Mother’s Day, it never seems like enough.
This year, I wanted to try something a little different. I know Michelle treasures every single person who is part of this movement we’ve built, so I’m hoping each of you will sign my card to her today. It’ll mean a lot to her.
Will you join me in wishing Michelle a happy Mother’s Day?
