I Wonder…(By Guest Blogger Joe)

I received an email in my inbox by one of Brian’s secret admirers. He knows nothing about computers, so he asked me to post it on my blog. He wrote this as a response to my 100 Things I Love About Brian entry. So, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together and give a warm welcome to guest blogger, Joe.

10 Things I Wonder About Brian

(I will not match Angie’s 100 “things” not because I lack ammunition, but time. And I am free to do this because they both know I love them more than the day is long.)

That Smile

That smile. That smile.
It’s going fast.
Do you think
That smile will last
?

Ash has his first loose tooth, and I had to pick my heart up off the floor and put it back into my chest when we discovered it. He is growing up much too quickly for my taste. Stop it, son! Just stop it!

On a different note, anybody know what the going rate for the tooth fairy is these days?

How Do I Love Thee…?

This weekend is my hubby’s birthday. I can’t tell you how much I love that man! Here’s a start… just a start… there’s so much more I could say. (WARNING: Extreme sappiness ahead!)

  1. I love his smile.
  2. I love the twinkle in his eyes when he’s teasing me.
  3. I love his laugh…the way it rolls through his whole body.
  4. I love the curls and waves in his hair.
  5. I love the feel of his arms around me.
  6. I love the safe and secure feeling he gives me when we’re together.

Think On These Things

In his book, Glory Revealed, David Nassar shares a story that he’d heard. I don’t know if it’s fictional or not, but it made an impact on me when I read it today. He tells of a man who just bought a classic Bentley in pristine condition. Extremely excited about his purchase, he was inordinately choosey when it came to his chauffeur. He interviewed three very qualified candidates rigorously. Each was given the same driving test. He placed an orange cone in the middle of his helipad and instructed the drivers to swerve as close as they could without hitting it. The first driver got three inches from the cone and never used his brakes. The second driver brought the car so close that the cone shook from the draft. How on earth would the third driver top that? The third driver climbed in, drove across the helipad and avoided the cone by thirty yards. When asked why by the owner, the chauffeur told him that if the goal was to not hit the cone, why even flirt with hitting it but rather avoid the danger? He was hired on the spot.
