I found this on facebook and read it to Travis. Automatically, we looked at each other, because before I even finished, we both knew it described him better than anything either of us could ever say: “Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead..who wants to show you off to the world when you are in a t-shirt and sweats… who calls back even though you just hung up on him…who holds your hand in front of his friends..who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup..one who lets you know without having to say it, that he loves you and knows how lucky he is to have you..the one who turns to his friends and says “that’s her.”

It took a while to find him, but he’s worth the wait.

1. They both love kittens but hate cats.
2. They both would prefer that multiple food items on a plate not touch.
3. Neither is bothered by a room that looks like a tornado hit it if they know where everything is.
4. They both prefer clothes that look like they just got out of bed. (comfy stuff)
5. She wears watermellon lip gloss; he really likes watermellon-flavored stuff.
6. They both can quote the first 5 words of any Ron White joke to each other and instantly start laughing.
7. She doesn’t care that he has a melt-down if he looses his pen; He’s very good at grammar. (Don’t ask.)
8. They both know what a blivet is.
9. He writes poems; she likes his poems.
10. They both think the poker-themed little bathroom is the coolest thing ever.

I’m going to Lexington this weekend to stay with Becky. I can’t wait. This week hasn’t been bad, but it sucks that we have to go a whole five days without seeing one another. I know, I know. We have service men and women who go months without seeing their loved ones…But it still bites.

All is quiet here right now, as it is break time and there are no kids. Everything must have been very noisy today because I find the quietness unusually unsettling. Oh well.

For the portion of the world who doesn’t know, I’m engaged to Rebecca Kim Gross. I actually popped the question on July 30. It goes without saying, I’m very, very happy. I can honestly say I’m happier now than I have ever been in my life. I don’t really believe in soul mates, but I think Beck is probably as close to the concept as I could imagine. She thinks my happy dance is cute… ‘Nuff said.
