SAY MY WORDS

"This is what made me fall in love with My Love..." Then finish the sentence and add it to my comments for the rest of us to enjoy. Here is how I finish that sentence...

First let me say that Poopy Do was (when we met 16 years ago) not my type. Too stubborn, too short, too serious, too "rural", too old-fashioned. Dyed-in-the-wool Country Boy, military brat, beer-guzzlin' good ol' boy. He was, and (believe it or not) still is, 5 years my junior. But that's cool. Anyway, it wasn't looking too good, you say. But here we are, all this time later. And since it was such a long time ago, I'm having a rather hard time recalling just what it was that made me fall in love with him... Just kidding, Poopy. That man could woo like nobody's business. Flowers, gifts, dinners... He once had me over for dinner that he cooked for me. Was wonderful and soooooo romantic. If any man could ever make a woman feel like a queen, it was Poopy. We both fought it (falling in love) for as long as we could. Who said it first? Me of course, he was too stubborn. And when I said it, it just popped out and I don't know who was more shocked. The 5 minutes following my declaration consisted of me, with my face buried in a pillow on the couch in my livingroom, and him, trying in vain to wrestle the pillow away from me all the while demanding "What?!" aboot a hundred times. I wouldn't repeat it. Not right then.

So what was it that made me fall? He was the most honest, moral, upstanding, genuine, rock-solid man I'd met. Just like my dad. But with killer abs and a terribly sexy gap between his front teeth. Yeah, I'd say that's what did it.

We were engaged within the year and were married June 17, 2000. Yeah, so it was kind of a long engagement. All the while, and still now, I wonder why he puts up with me...

Happy Valentine's Day Poopy Doo :-)
