Since the cruise, we did our yearly Nascar trip, and now I'm all vacationed out. Is there such a thing? I love going, but I also love being home. I actually enjoy cleaning my house, and catching up on the laundry while listening to Chad tinkering away out in the garage. I peek out from time to time when it gets quiet, to see him standing there with his chin propped up on his hand- just staring at the crawler. "What are you doing?" I'll say. "Thinking." He'll reply. Seeing him build this truly amazes me. How does he know where to put everything? I can't even do puzzles. It's weird how two people can be so opposite in certain things, yet balance eachother out so perfectly. He's patient. I'm very impatient. He likes cheese and crackers, and I like Nerds and Ice Cream. He looks at life from a panoramic view, versus my tunnel vision. I like check lists, and he likes to fly by the seat of his pants. I wonder how the world would look through his eyes. Probably pretty dang good. He says he's a realist, but he's an optimist. He's a go-getter, with big ideas and no limitations. I'm a skeptic, a planner, and I like immediate results. But at the end of the day, what he forgot, I remembered and what I screwed up, he fixed. He's a tease, which makes me the subject of his jokes and pranks, but we both like to laugh and it definitely keeps us laughing. It's our core values that ground us, our characteristics that define us, and it's our quirks that make us unique. Love doesn't come from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity, which is created in a moment.
