Dear Reader,
This morning the writer's block was hitting hard. However, while searching for ideas of a topic to write about (which usually pop up during the week), I realized my best reason for writing is right next to me: my supercalifragilisticexpialidocious wife Lauren.
Now, those of you who know me in real life will know that Lauren is the most amazing woman. I talk about her a lot. She is athletic, funny and ridiculously talented. I have never met anyone who doesn't love her. Seriously, people are always saying how they love working/studying/whatever else with her because of her bright personality and genuine smile.
Her intelligence is one to be reckoned with. Right now we are in the middle of applying to graduate schools. She applied to three schools in the top 100-ranked schools in the nation (#6, #14, and #44). She applied to these schools and has already been accepted to 2 (#6 and #14. We are still waiting to hear back from #44). So basically, every school that meets Lauren wants her to come join their program. She is very smart. My only claim to fame is that I can beat her in Jeopardy once in a while.
Her work ethic is fantastic. In the ward where we live now, the primary runs ship-shape with her as the secretary. Every Sunday and even during the week, she spends her time making sure all the teachers are scheduled for that Sunday, the right kids know about their assignments and she finds substitutes in the tightest of pinches. The best part of all this work she does is that she doesn't complain when things go wrong. She adapts and uses her work ethic to get things done.
If all of that is not enough, she has the patience to put up with me. That is a challenge in and of itself.
Lauren is amazing. As I was going back through my blogs to find inspiration, I noticed a pattern of dates in our lives. I started this blog on February 26th, 2009. Our first date (the second time around) was on February 26th, 2016. We were married August 26th, 2016, which means our six-month anniversary was February 26th, 2017.
It is just mere coincidence that all these dates line perfectly, but for me it was a reminder. While looking for inspiration, these dates reminded me that the Lord knew what he was doing when he helped win over this wonderful woman who loves me, too.
