How's Thomas?


A few nights ago, David and I were driving home from playing racquetball and I heard him whisper, "How's Thomas?" There are a few things that I love about David, and this is one of them. David likes to talk to himself or to his "imaginary friends" as I'd like to call them. When he faintly asked, "How's Thomas?" I was taken aback. A few times I've caught him talking to someone. Quietly and softly I randomly hear him talk to himself while he is alone. I think it is cute and kind of funny. But a few nights ago, I replied, "Who's Thomas?!?" The story pretty much ends there. I think we all talk to ourselves, but when I witness David do it, it becomes unreal.

There are a few more qualities that I love about David.
Quality #1: His willingness to follow rules.
Example #1: We have a few rules in our marriage. For example, last one out of the bed has to make it. This is motivation to get up early and start your day. He usually follows this rule, but somehow I conclude that it's better for both of us if I just make it. But it's his effort that counts.
Quality #2: His sense of humor.
Example #2: Another rule in our house is - Last one to finish a roll of toilet paper must replace it with a new one. He has a hard time with this one. One day I went to the bathroom to find an empty roll. I hollered for David to come in immediately and replace it with a new one, even though I could reach it. I told him it's all about the principle. So after this lesson on principles, I go to the bathroom another day and sit down to see this:

Quality #3: His love for life.
Example #3: David has a warm heart. He loves me so much, I know it. He loves his family, my family, and his friends. He loves to work, to relax, and to play. He loves nature. He loves.
Overall, I love David whether he talks to mysterious people, "makes" the bed, or makes me get my own toilet paper. He is my Colombian lover!

  2. I love David's sense of humor! I want to do that if Jeff ever leaves an empty toilet paper on the roller!
