A few months back I wrote a guest post for my dear friend Alexis.  Before posting the words I had written, she wrote a few of her own explaining how we met.  I will always be grateful that Alexis has been a part of my life, and I think her words are a great segue into some of the things I love about myself.

“… I instantly knew we would be friends. First of all, she’s beautiful, and obviously that’s my first requirement for friendship. Then she laughed at my hideously inappropriate jokes, which is my second requirement for friendship. But seriously, this girl is smart, funny, and has a very clean car. I’m talking clean to the point of sterility–in fact, when I got in it for the first time, I asked her if it was a rental. Her OCD tendencies perfectly offset my tendency to be a complete slob, so we’re a match made in heaven.

Sadly, Olivia up and moved away from Utah about a month ago, but we still text and email and so forth. She always gets in touch with me at the perfect times, right when I need someone to just drop a line to let me know they’re thinking of me. That’s one of my favorite things about her, that she remembers to tell other people that they matter to her. Also, I love that she talks about gas.”

I love that I enjoy hideously inappropriate jokes.  I love that I have told more than a few hideously inappropriate jokes myself.  I love that I am blessed with more than my fair share of weird.  But most of all, I love that I remember to tell the people who matter to me most that they are my world.
