Shoutout

I'm not one to spend a lot of time gushing about how great my fiance is. I'm more apt to poke fun at or tell wicked awesome stories about him, but I like to think I don't bore people to death by gushing over him. Well, maybe it's the fact that I only have 83 days left before I get to live with him, or maybe it's a full moon, or maybe the planets are just aligned, because I'm in a gushing mood.

Let me say, I never imagined myself ending up with someone like Ben. But, as I've often said, he ended up being everything I never knew I was looking for. Not only is he super smart and offensively good looking, but he's sweet and he's funny. He gets my racist and sexist and generally offensive jokes, and even leaves me in fits of giggles with the stuff he comes up with. He can deliver a line so deadpan, it melts my heart!

He loves my dog, and humors me by listening to and laughing at stories about my cat. He even plays with her when in fat cat's presence, despite being allergic. He sits on the phone with me for hours, even when I'm being difficult and fissy pissy (which happens.) He watches my weird movies, and didn't even make me go see Green Zone last time I was in Ridgecrest. He fits in with my family, which is not an easy trick to pull off. He let's me ramble about class or what I saw on Keith Olbermann or what I read on so and so's facebook. He makes me feel great about myself, and helped me get back on track. If it weren't for him, I am not so sure I would be 5 weeks away from graduation.

Sure, we've had our ups and downs over the past 2 years (!!). But all in all, it's been amazing! He's fun, awesome, and dorky (which I mean with love!) and even after 23 months of being together, he still makes me feel the way I did when he was coming over for the first time, to watch Lolita.
