Daily 3 - Happy Anniversary

Today is my anniversary.  Matt and I have been married 5 years now.  It's not quite a milestone yet.  Richard and I were married for a little over 5 years.  I'm certain that this marriage will last quite a lot longer than my previous one.  Tonight we went out for pizza as part of a social gathering with Matt's work.  The problem was that the restaurant couldn't sit everyone together so we mostly just had a table to ourselves.  It was crowded and took quite a while but pizza is Matt's favorite food.  I don't really like crowds and waiting but that is part of my introverted status.  Tomorrow we are going to a fancier restaurant for our celebratory dinner.  We're going with two Scrabble friends of ours.  They got engaged about 6 months ago and they just closed on a house today. 

Today's daily 3 are things I love about Matt:

1.  He's smart.  He is an intelligent man and likes to read.  He also likes that I'm smart which is a relief.  I think that my brain was intimidating to other men I've dated.

2.  He likes to play Scrabble and ride roller coasters.  We actually met because of this.  He had a profile on CatholicMatch.com that mentioned he liked to play Scrabble and go to theme parks.  That intrigued me so I contacted him.  He wrote back and then we emailed for a few weeks before he asked me out on a date. 

3.  He's oblivious to other women.  Matt is basically the antithesis of my ex-husband.  Richard seemed to need constant validation and ego boosts.  He liked women that needed his help.  He always had his eye elsewhere.  It took Matt 2 months to kiss me.  He is oblivious to other women and doesn't have a jealous bone in my body.  I have no reason to be jealous of him or question his whereabouts.  He has no interest in strip clubs, dirty magazines, or porn site.  It's quite a relief.
