About that guy

So after three months, my Brussels Sprouts guy is still kind of a secret. My kids are getting to know him and he's got a plane ticket to meet the family before Christmas. But we are keeping it on the DL around town ... primarily because it's a small town and, if you've ever lived in a small town, you know, that's all I really need to say about that.

Here's some things I like about Brussel Sprouts:
  1. He took AP French in high school. (He studied Russian and Spanish too.)
  2. He plays the guitar and sings with abandon.
  3. He remembers almost every number he sees (like my license plate number and phone numbers he's dialed one time.)
  4. He's a Yankee but roots for the Cowboys.
  5. He drives 4 hours round-trip to Denver twice a week to see his 18-month old daughter.
  6. He plays Scrabble with me (and sometimes even wins.)
  7. He can hang out with me all day and then still want to talk to me on the phone for hours at night.
  8. He baked an apple pie the other day. Just because.
  9. He plays house with my kids. They make him be the kid. He's good at it.
10. His eyes, and heart, are full of kindness.
