Introducing my other half
I grabbed this tag from Andrea.
His Name. Christopher. So plain. So common I know. In fact, about millions of other men in this country alone bear the same name. Needless to say, although the name is ordinary, the man that carries it isn’t.
How we met. It’s actually funny the first time we met. An ex-boyfriend actually introduced me to him. At that time, my ex was a fan of his so he invited my husband to a badminton game. Maybe he hoped that my husband’s skill would rub off on him. Little did I know that I had met my future husband.
His characteristics.
Flirt. I am attracted to men who go out of their way to make women feel special. And he was like that from day 1. He looked at you as if the rest of the world had disappeared. He laughed at my witty remarks even if nobody else did. Its a skill actually that he has that makes him alluring not only to me but to a lot of other women as well… hmpf!
Intelligent. He is such a techie! I believe I have some of that being that I passed five years of engineering school but he… is different. I am no dunce but I love how his brain holds so much more than mine does. In addition, I really hate having to correct a man’s statement especially if I happen to be dating him. Guess who does the correcting now? Hehe.
Passionate. Being that I am a very passionate person, it would be challenging to be with someone who goes through life in a state of mediocrity.
No nonsense. He does not go for any frills or pretense. In that way we complement each other. I bring all the frivolity to the relationship.
Strong. He remains standing inspite of all the blows he has received. He is my rock and he was the one who taught me how to be strong.
Tolerant. I am a bunch of different characters and personalities rolled into one. I am moody and crazy once in a while and sometimes all at the same time. He takes all this insanity in stride.
All that and more make up the man that makes me fall head over heels in love each and every day over and over and over again.
I encourage you to tag yourself with this.

Just found your blog today - what a sweet post! I just had to stop and tell you what a talented writer you are. I just began blogging a few months back as a behind the scenes look into my entrepreneurial venture. I am not a writer by trade and have to dig deep to even pull off the simplist of blogs. I can see a deep passion in your writing and have really enjoyed reading a bit into your world. Keep up the great work!

Amber - Thanks for the compliment. I added you to my blogroll (I hope you don’t mind). I love your rufflebutts by the way. Too bad I don’t have a girl to buy it for.
Come by again to visit.
