Dave and I like to play this annoying little game of one-upmanship in which we each declare that we love the other more.

I love you more!

No, I love YOU more!

Well. Dave thinks it’s a game. I’m actually pretty serious about it. In fact, I have evidence in my favor.

Look at the picture.

My husband and me

Check out his body language. What is it saying? Let me show you.

My husband and me and what he's really thinking

I know. This means I am less loved. And it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night. But it also means I am the winner. And winning is surprisingly warm, my friends.

    Can you PLEASE post a pic of the two of you standing side by side from a year ago??? Different people. It is freaking fabulous! Congrats. (Oh yeah, and you love each other. ;) ) But I tend to see the positives here. And that, my friend, is that while you may love your man more, there is LESS of you there!

  2. allyson on June 22, 2009 10:34 pm

    That is hilarious! And I agree with Rachel, you two look great!

  3. Daddy Forever on June 23, 2009 1:16 am

    Good call funny girl. I didn’t notice Dave was so tall before.

  4. Amy on June 23, 2009 6:02 am

    Schmoopy!!!! I love that. Mike and I used to call each other that all the time, being stupid of course. And yes, winning is everything :)

  5. Laurie on June 23, 2009 6:40 am

    Hahahaha!!!

  6. Karly on June 23, 2009 7:45 am

    Holy crap, you are getting skinny! You are both adorable, but yes, you win. Dave totally looks like he’s going to bolt. Was he maybe going to help Julia with the camera or something? And he wanted the picture to be perfect because he loves you so much? No? Okay, you still win.

  7. Toni on June 23, 2009 9:00 am

    Clearly the man has issues. :)

  8. SCY on June 23, 2009 11:25 am

    Bwhahahahaha! You are both looking AMAZING even though it’s clear you love him the mostest ;) (my hubby and I have the same arguement – guess I’m gonna have to get a pic like this too to prove I’m the winner)

  9. Jen in MI on June 23, 2009 2:18 pm

    You both look SO great!!! And it seems like you’re both winners with that particular disagreement.

  10. Suzanne on June 23, 2009 2:51 pm

    Umm, wow. I’ve been gone for a little while… you guys look AWESOME! I mean, totally amazing. Good job, guys.

    And I always love me a good Seinfeld reference…

  11. Chris H on June 23, 2009 4:42 pm

    There is NO WAY Dave loves you any less than you love him mate! That man would do anything for you and his wee girls. You know this of course!

  12. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:10 am

    I’ve been looking through my pictures and I’m struggling to find one of us together from a year ago! I guess we were avoiding the camera.

  13. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:12 am

    Thank you. We’re both feeling great and feeling each other. Ha!

  14. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:14 am

    I’m not sure that he’s so tall as I’m so short. He’s 6’3″ and I’m 5’2″.

    Okay, 5’1.75″.

  15. Joshua on June 24, 2009 2:18 am

    It looks like Dave is standing on an incline and leaning towards you. That is a positive thing in my opinion.

    At the very least, you were anchoring him.

    Taking spills is a very real fear of the tall. I’m the same height as Dave, and I know this.

  16. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:20 am

    Some people say that winning isn’t important. Some people would say those people are losers.

  17. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:24 am

    When I showed this to him, he walked away muttering, “Gonna get my own picture…”

    That was funny.

  18. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:30 am

    I was 199 pounds this morning. I haven’t been under 200 pounds since the 90′s, dude.

    Maybe he’s just intimidated by my incredible HOTNESS.

  19. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:32 am

    I’d be worried he was going to leave if I wasn’t so good in bed. ;)

  20. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:33 am

    Yes! Get a picture. It’s hard to dispute photographic evidence!

  21. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:34 am

    We are both winners. Except I’m a little more so.

  22. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:37 am

    Thank you!

    You know, my jeans were actually a bit too big and kept sliding down that day. So, I’m actually even skinnier than I look, because those jeans were baggy and not so much filled with me as they were filled with air. Plus, the camera adds ten pounds, right?

  23. Leslie on June 24, 2009 2:38 am

    Oh yes. But it’s much more fun to tease him.

  24. Catherine on June 24, 2009 9:37 am

    that’s awesome – and yes, I agree you win! From now on he’ll be all authentic smiles and lovey-dovey in pictures just to rebound from this.

  25. Rachel on June 24, 2009 1:01 pm

    That is longer an excuse, lady! So proud and inspired by you both!

  26. Jennifer on June 25, 2009 6:47 am

    You look amazing, Leslie!!

  27. Leslie on June 29, 2009 3:59 pm

    You know, you’re right. I often see Dave stepping carefully with his arms spread wide all, “Woah! Woooooaah!” trying to keep from falling. ;)

    Haven’t see you around for a while, my friend. How are things?

  28. Leslie on June 29, 2009 4:07 pm

    I can only hope. He’s got that tortured look in most of our photos. I could understand if we were living back in the day when you had to stand for hours for a picture, but it’s 2009. Dude, smile for thirty seconds!

  29. Leslie on June 29, 2009 4:08 pm

    Thank you! Just seventy pounds to go!

  30. kelly on June 30, 2009 10:24 am

    Okay. This is very funny. I love that you can pick apart his body language like that. It’s something you can only do with someone you know so well. Cheers!

  31. Leslie on July 3, 2009 1:04 am

    He claims that I completely misread him and he’s not thinking any of those things. I say, “The proof is in the picture, Mr. Man!”
