Let me tell you about how I met my husband: my younger sister introduced us. She had met him through mutual friends and after getting to know him, she came home and declared, “This guy would be perfect for you.” At the time, I just shrugged it off. Eventually she had us meet and the rest was history. Who better to pick out the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with then my sister/best friend?! She has known me her whole life, (my sister is three years younger then me) I in turn don’t remember much of my life before her birth. We shared a room up until I was 16 and she was 13. We know each other’s flaws as well as many attributes. We know how the other thinks. We know how to argue with each other. (Excuse me, I can’t see you, I have a spoon in my eye.) We worked together for three years and learned that we both have similar, strong work ethics. She calls herself a princess, but she is not a slouch and does things for herself, never waiting for someone to do it for her. (More likely because she is as impatient as the day is long. And stubborn. Ha!... Ok, I might be those as well…)
So wouldn’t it make sense for me to pick out her man? This time I did, or at least I am taking full credit for it as I put my stamp of approval on this situation back about a year ago. Last year I signed up for my first season of hockey (remember that time I play hockey?) In my rookie year, I was placed on a team with four other rookies. While I enjoyed playing with all my teammates and fellow rookies, one guy stood out in particular. First off, he was single, he was a good-looking guy and he was super nice. We ended up being line mates for a while. He was a great team player and always was grinning on the bench. I started to nag my sister “He’s so nice, you should date him.” “He’s too cute, you should date him.”
They did start dating! Finally, after questionable decisions when it comes to men, my sister finally found a good one! (Garbage Picker PSA: Ladies, don’t date dickheads. You deserve better!) Not many people/things warrant a tribute by me in my blog, so know this, this guy is awesome and I am glad he makes my sister incredibly happy. He is also a loyal reader and requested a blog update… :P
