So, I figured I would go ahead and follow suit to her post last week about top reasons to marry me (when I say follow suit I mean it isn't worth the fight to do something funny or embarrassing after how sweet she was last week).
So, her we go.......
1. She says whatever is on her mind (good, bad or indifferent). The first time I ever met Lauren she was a senior in high school and I was a cool college guy. I am pretty sure she had a crush on me for 8 months between our first and second meeting. If you didn't know, her sister is married to one of my good friends brothers. So, Lauren made the big girl trip, with her sister, up to Stillwater for our Thursday night church service. Someone had pointed her out earlier, but I hadn't had a chance to meet her yet. After the service I was talking to a girl in one of my accounting classes talking about the "real world" (a term very overused in college). As we were in the middle (of what I am sure was a mind blowing) conversation about accounting Lauren steps in and says, "I love the real world, do you watch the show too?". I wish I could say this is when I knew that we would fall in love, but it wasn't........
2. I laugh with her more than anybody else (usually because of reason 1). Especially when we don't see each other for a while, one of the most refreshing things to do with her is spend an afternoon just laughing with each other. It usually entails making fun of others, but it keeps us occupied.
3. She loves my friends and family......sometimes more than me. She always wants to talk to or spend time with both groups. Since the first time she has met most of my friends she has fit right in, and that is really tough to (we have very high standards.....?). She also talks to my family more than I do.
4. She is adventurous. This one is tricky....because we both have very different definitions of this. She love do to things like find the biggest roller coaster or jump out of a plane, where I want to break the rules (even when there aren't rules she just thinks there are) or make a 6 hour drive to see a friend on a week night. We have fun pressuring each other into adventures.
5. I am going to call this reason the "all other" category (I know it is kind of cheating, but it is my blog. When you have a blog you can make up the rules). Plus, the all kind of roll up into one. Her personality, how strong she is, how she challenges me, how she takes initiative when she is passionate about something.....and much more.
Marriage life is going to be great! I guess if I could add one more bullet it is just so we could live together. Long distance sucks.......
