The most romantic man in Habersham County!

A couple of weeks ago Jason informed me that the Northeast Georgian was having a contest.  In 300 words or less women would write about why their husband/boyfriend was the most romantic man in Habersham!  I laughed it off thinking he was just being silly.  He mentioned it again and then again, I starting to think he might be serious about this.  Then the icing on the cake, he sent me the link to the contest!  My first response was "Honey you aren't what most women would think of as romantic."  His reply:  "WHAT????  You must be crazy!"  My second thought, I am a horrible writer!  He could be the world's most romantic man, he could a world renowned author writing on the topic of romance and I wouldn't be able to convey to the world why he was romantic.  But for my husband, who I love 4 (it's an inside joke), I entered this contest and I did my best!  And here is my entry:

Why is my husband the most romantic man?  There are a million reasons that I love him and just as many little things he does that mean we belong together.   My husband is not a man for the huge romantic gesture.  He is more a man of timing the small things perfectly.  When I am sad he makes me rootbeer floats because they always cheer me up.  He plans a getaway for just the two of us once a year because he still enjoys spending time with his wife.  He puts time and thought into every gift. He knows me so well he buys me the things that I never knew I always wanted.  When we argue he tells me he is "going to be married to me for the rest of his life" so it is important to talk until we figure out the problem and come to an agreement on how to fix it.  We have been married for almost 13 years and I cannot express how much that simple sentence means to me "I am going to be married to you for the rest of my life".  In a world that takes marriage too lightly he is still pleading his undying love to me.  I am going to love you forever.  He chose me to be his wife and to share his life with and he chooses me everyday and that is what makes him the most romantic guy around.

So do you think I have a chance?  You know what it doesn't matter if I win the dinner at the Attic.  I am happily married to a man that was hand picked for me.  I am more blessed than I ever would have imagined, so whether I am having dinner at the Attic as a contest winner or having sandwiches at home I won!

  1. Awesome entry. Why wouldn't you win? The whole thing is so sweet. I like his idea of you having to work things about because he is going to be married to you for the rest of your life!

  2. PS Please pardon my terrible picture. There is a joke behind it. As a library student visiting the ruins of an ancient library, I thought that I should look as nerdy and touristy as possible in the picture.
