Friday’s Favorite Five!

This week’s top five is all about Timothy!  So if you aren’t in the mood for mush, you might want to read someone else’s blog today.  Haha!

The Top Five Things I Miss About Timothy

1) Hearing his alarm go off for three solid minutes before he realizes what’s going on and turns it off.  And when I get frustrated and punch him in the arm until he turns it off, he never gets mad.  Ever.  Because he’s a saint.

2) Cooking for him.  He’s an absolute joy to cook for.  He loves everything and eats everything!  And he’s always so appreciative and makes sure to compliment something about the meal.

3) The way he teases me.  He makes fun of basically every pair of socks I own.  Last night I wore his *favorite* pair (the granny no-nonsense brand ones) and no one noticed.  No one made fun of them.  No one tried to pull them off so my toes could go free.  No one said “I bet you’re not taking any nonsense today, babe!” Yup.  I sure miss that boy.

4) His sense of humor.  He always has a story of some crazy person coming into his store or a new corny joke. I usually try to roll my eyes and ignore him, but my attempts fail.  He cracks me up too much!

5) Experiencing things with him.  On this trip, I went to the Dixie Stampede for the first time.  I can’t eat chicken on a bone, so imagine my shock when they served me an entire chicken. They just cut the head off, took off the feathers, cooked it, and plopped it on my plate.  Oh, and did I mention that you have to eat with your hands?!  Oh my.  I mean, this seriously should be another post for another day.  I’m reliving it right now and it’s not pretty.  Back to Timothy.  I love experiencing everything with him.  I like having his hand to hold when I’m nervous.  His eyes to look at when we’re making fun of something but don’t want anyone else to know.  His suit coat jacket when I’m cold.  His muscles to carry my heavy luggage.  His compliments on my hair when I’m stressing about it being a frizz ball.  His ability to make absolutely everything an adventure.  I miss him.

Well that’s my top five.  If you’re reading this, I love you Timothypal Gothra!!!  I can’t wait to come home and fix you food!

And to anyone else who may be reading this – thank you so much!  I appreciate you taking some time out of your day to read my blog!  I hope you all have an amazing weekend.
