sparkling spotlight: volume 1

i have decided to start a semi-regular spotlight on my blog of a person of my choosing. in order to be eligible for this prestigous recognition, you have to meet some stringent expectations: 1) i have to know you, 2) you have to know me, and 3) you have to be nice.

the first person i have chosen to spotlight is my fiance, chris. (applause)

a few things i love/know about him:

• he is currently a senior at west point. although this was/is a difficult thing to work through sometimes, i love his dedication and growth over time
• plays the most amazing bee-tar ever
• shares my sense of humor
• thinks before he speaks
• we are great travelers
• will be a fantastic father
• is very thoughtful at all times
• perfectly fits this quote from the fray "when i'm losing my control, the city spins around, you're the only one who knows, you slow it down"
• is always up for a walk
• has the perfect 'emily head-shaped' nook on his shoulder

a few things i don't love about him :)

• the smell of his farts
• being so far away
• his propensity to over-help (although i secretly love this...i don't always at the time)
• driving too slow
• that one song he plays over and over and over on the bee-tar
• his ant joke

above all, he has changed my life for the better and i cannot wait to be his wife on june 6th or 7th next year. he is a romantic in every sense of the word. i love you, chris. there are so many trite things i could say, and i could go on for days, but this quote fits perfectly:

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life
