So the other day, I'm laying on the couch with my left hand near my face and my hair all over the place, and the fiance looks over, pauses and says, "You look pretty!" To which I say, "Thank you!" You see, he's a typical man...compliments are few and far between...which make them mean a lot when they do come.
And then, I kid you not, he says, "Yeah, you look like one of those asian mail order brides - because you have that ring."
That's my fiance, folks! Gotta love him. =)
I was reading him my "100 Things About Me," and afterwards, he mentioned that he didn't think I could write 100 things about him. Of course, I said I bet I could and took on the challenge. Here, my friends, is 100 things about my fiance. For you observant ones out there, you may pick up on the fact that he and I are quite different. Heck...we have the administered test to prove it!!!
