Reasons why I love Shawn.

Several moons ago I was watching one of the many little viral internet videos of Blood Elves, a race of characters from World of Warcraft, doing their high-class little Brittany Spears dance. This was well before Shawn got himself his second pair of glasses.

It’s hard to describe the sort of profound silence that befell me then, as I slowly swiveled about in my computer chair to ogle wide-eyed at the delightful, wonderful man I am spending the rest of my life with. I stared at him staring at me, a tumble weed may have gone by, the clock ticked.

Sheepishly within the edible quiet, he finally added, “I should probably get my eyes checked, huh?”

Indeed, my good man. Indeed.
