12 Reasons

Okay, so I'm a slacker....but we already knew this. This is extremely late so you'll have to forgive me, but I've been thinking of posting this for the last month or so ha ha. October 1st was Freddy and my one year anniversary. I know what you're thinking. We're cheesy. You're right. More than a celebration, it's kind of a landmark for us. It symbolizes how we've grown together and all the issues we've overcome in the last year. Basically, he's put up with me for 365 days and I wanted to recognize that :] so here's a post with 12 reasons as to why I love dating this boy.

#12: Humor. If you've ever seen us together, you can tell that we love to laugh. Fred has the best sense of humor and he is always able to crack me up, even when I'm upset, which is quite the feat. I love it that we are able to tease each other CONSTANTLY and end up in giggles.
Example - Me: Oh my heck Full House is on!
Freddy: Isn't that show from like the 80's or 90's?
Me: Yes and I love it!
Freddy: Oh yeah I used to love it too....and then my dad got a job.

#11: Intelligence. Fred is extremely smart and he remembers the most random facts. I love it that we are able to intelligently debate things :]
Example- We watch Cash Cab as often as possible and he usually beats me. He even knows what different types of sharks look like and what distinguishes them. Ahhh my dream boy :]

#10: Dedication. He recently stopped going to school so that he could work full time in order to help support us. He doesn't mind getting up early or doing the dirty work (such as cleaning the bathroom or taking out the trash which I REFUSE to do).
Example- In a matter of three days this week, he has worked close to 36 hours.

#9: Honesty. It took us a long time to get there, but we're pretty good at telling each other EVERYTHING now. He's pretty quick to share, even with things that I'm not sure I really wanted to know.
Example- The other night I was walking down the hall to put some laundry away and....
Freddy: Morgan stop.
Me: Ummm why?
Freddy: Just stop.
Me: Okay....
[about five minutes pass with me standing in the hallway]
Freddy: Okay I'm done.
Me: What are you talking about?
Freddy: There was the biggest spider I've ever seen in my life on the bathroom door.
Me: Sick!
Freddy: And it's the third one I've killed this week!

#8: Talented. Fred is such an awesome musician. I can't tell you how often I'm watching TV and I hear him messing around on his guitar in the other room....and how awesome it sounds.
Example: Ask him to sing "Our Song" By Taylor Swift for you :]

#7: Friendly. I can't tell you how easily this boy makes friends. It seems like everyone likes him, whether it's the clerk at the grocery store or one of our neighbor's kids that is playing outside.
Example: The family that we share our duplex with has a little boy that sits in the window and waits for Fred to come home from work so he can yell "Hi!!!!!" out the window.

#6: Romantic. He's always got little sweet ideas up his sleeve, whether it's sending me white lillies for no reason (my absolute favorite flower) or calling just to tell me he loves me.
Example: I have a whole folder full of notes that he leaves me, mostly just to say hello and I love you :]

#5: Stylish. Okay, so I admit it's a problem when he sometimes takes longer than I do to get ready to go out, but he always looks great :]
Example: If he doesn't like the way his hair looks after he does it, he puts a hat on.

#4: Helpful. He's one of the only guys I know that will fold laundry, cook, do the dishes, vacuum, and make the bed. I have to admit....I kinda like it :]
Example: Last night when I came home from work, he had nearly all the laundry done and he was unloading the dishwasher.

#3: Thoughtful. He's always doing things that I don't even ask him to, just because he knows it will make my day.
Example: At least once a week, he brings me dinner at work just because he wants to see me.

#2: Patience. He never gets upset with me. He is always so willing to listen to anything I have to say. Even when I start getting worked up and I can hear the crazy coming out of my mouth but find myself unable to stop it, he sits there and takes it. Bless his soul.
Example: I once got really upset that he bought a new pair of shoes without asking me and he took full blame for it, apologized, and made me dinner.

#1: For being my best friend. I have to say I'm extremely lucky to be in love with someone I get along with so well. We're so comfortable together and it's so easy to talk about anything with one another. I guess I just want Freddy to know how thankful I am for him being in my life, for being my best friend in the whole world, and for being the guy that I've always dreamed about.
