Writing is one of my favorite things to do is write, so I love this blog and how I can really write about anything I chose. Sometimes I just don't know what to write about.
I saw a prompt from the Daily Post in the Wordpress Reader and it is titled "He's so Fine: What drew you to your significant other?" So I decided to write about my husband because I love him and I don't think I've really talked about him at all yet.
I had met him when I was 16/17 when our families had a game night. I tried to impress him, me being 16/17 and I knew he was much older (6 years), but I don't think I really did a great job - we hardly spoke. The next time I talked/saw him was when I was 18 and was home for the weekend. We were in church and his brother had an inflatable tie so he could nap without getting a line on his forehead, so my family kept deflating it when he put his head down. We were not exactly 'spiritual' that Sunday.
About 3 weeks later I received a phone call from "Jed's brother (jeff?)" and thought it was his younger brother, Jed, trying to prank call me. I picked up and heard Jeff's voice, he then said he thought it would be cool if we went out sometime and we set a date for the following weekend. Since our first date, we have been with each other every weekend.
One of the first things that attracted me to Jeff was just that he was older and had traveled a lot. He was very charming and made sure there was no awkwardness between us. I was later attracted to the way he treated me. He encouraged me and made me feel smart. He would come to be for advice and he would value what I had to say.
He would also let me know that he needed me. He never tried to play it "cool," or whatever. He was open with his feelings and he trusted me. That was one of the biggest things that I loved, that he trusted me. He didn't try to dodge questions or tell me lies.
Jeff and I also have the same sense of humor and that is extremely attractive. Being able to make each other laugh is magical and I can't imagine being married to someone that I couldn't laugh with. Having the same sense of humor, I think, allows you to have more inside jokes as well. I love being able to look at someone or something and look at my husband and know that he is thinking the same exact thing I am.
I seriously could not have found a better man than the one I married. He is truly my best friend and soul mate. I am thankful every day that I get to wake up next to him and face to the world together, hand in hand. It's beyond comforting to know that I have someone at home waiting to give me a hug, listen to how my day went, and make everything better. I never imagined myself getting married so young, but I found my perfect match.
Love, Natasha
