"My Man"

I have decided this next post is going to be about "my man"... He is by far one of the most important things in my life, and this next post is just a creative touch on how I look at "my man", and just how much he means to me!

In the mornings at home, I watch my man brush his teeth (of course without him knowing I do this), vigorously working his toothbrush for two to three minutes, until the foam covers his mouth "clown-style". He leans into the sink, one arm kind of crooked on the edge. He spits, enthusiastically, then shuffles off to get dressed. Walking even in those wee morning hours like a man rich with confidence. My eyes track him and I think, "god, he is handsome, how could anyone look at him and not see the amazing person that I see?"

The best future I can imagine would be to watch him brush his teeth everyday for the rest of my life. God, if i were any more in love, I would be unbearable company!!!

How did after all these years this big love happen!?! A love so bright I can only sneak glimpses, and anything more would ignite me like tissue paper. The moment I knew, you ask???...Plain and simple, the day we were driving in his car, and out of nowhere he yells, "damn it I'm ready for you to ask me to be your boyfriend!" You're probably wondering, why ME asking him to be MY boyfriend... Shouldn't it be the other way around? Well after him "proposing" three times and two of those three times with an onion ring at The Yard House; he finally said to me that he was done asking me to either 'A' be his girlfriend, or 'B' marry him, (Must you know this was after only I think three weeks of dating, and you have to understand his humor :) ) and that if I wanted to be his girlfriend I was going to have to ask him. So, it was only about a week later, when we were in the car and he yell that comment. That moment alone told me all I needed to know about who this man was and what he could be for me. So since he "proposed/asked me to be his girlfriend" with onion rings, I thought, what was more fitting than me asking him to be my boyfriend with a ring pop? So that is what I did!

I love my boyfriend because of who he is, the exact same reason that he loves me. I am simply drunk with love and optimism, aimlessly looking for unicorns in the sky...
