You were stationed where?

Today's post is, in fact a dedication.

Why? Because I happen to be very blessed with fantastic friends, and equally important a forum in which to sing (type?) their praises.

Today's focus? A certain bipolar forest creature. In honor of the fact that he started his very own blog yesterday (squeel!), and that he spent the better part of his day watching me interrogate winery wedding planners like a poor man's Stabler grilling child pornographers, this is his shout out.

So, my top 5 favorite things about Bear:
-his laugh is infectious
-his ability to out-over-analyze me
-he makes up elaborate life situations (best man anyone?) to make things more interesting
-his staunch loyalty to those he loves
-his mother

I think it is definitively rare that one genuinely gets along with their partner's friends. It is an even rarer thing for said friends to want to hang out with you even when said partner isn't around. But it is, I believe, a reflection on all parties involved that this rag tag posse adopt you as one of it's very own. I am lucky enough to not only be absorbed in this way, but also to be loved with a fierceness and loyalty reserved for siblings (or cell mates). So cheers boys, life would not be the same without you.
