i love this boy.

This is Jared.

Jared is my best friend.

Jared smells really lovely.

Jared has a smashing sense of style (most of the time), thanks to his personal wardrobe consultant, which also happens to be his wife....which also happens to be the author of this blog...which also happens to be ME!

Jared's boss (also his uncle) jokes around in professional settings all of the time that Jared's second job is as a underwear model for JC Penny.

Jared never blushes. But, I do. And I get to see him in his undies everyday.

Jared can grow a five o'clock shadow by 11:00am.

Jared is rugged and manly.

Jared likes vanilla charleston chews, his mother's chocolate cake, and he likes to trim the lawn.

He is honest. He is heartfelt. And once, before we wed, he told me that I had better be sure that we were in love because he didn't believe in divorce. A deal is a deal. And that's it.

I thought for a moment, then made my decision. And we've been in love ever since.
