Things I find endearing about Laughs-a-lot that others would find totally dorky...

* He snorts when he laughs
* The pride on his face when telling Bubble stories
* How close he is to his family
* He laughs at everything I say (well, everything I want him to laugh about)
* He has a company shirt for every occasion
* He is the most content person I have ever met, except maybe for my dad
* He loves animals
* He lets Bubble name their pets, and they get names like Marshmallow and Clifford, as a result
* He doesn't take himself seriously
* He is protective and nurturing to those he cares for (and I am on that list!)
* He likes Meg Ryan movies, and isn't ashamed to admit it
* His decorating skills consist of a signed Stan Musial picture, dirt from the old stadium, a neon Budweiser sign with the Budweiser lizards (okay, it isn't actually on his wall, because even his friends tell him he shouldn't have it up)and all of his drinking glasses say Budweiser (Let me say, he does not have a drinking problem. He works for AB and gets all of the stuff for free)
* He is trying so hard to impress me, but he really needn't try
* The way he looks at me in those little moments when Bubbles leaves the room, and no one else is around
* The way he lights up when we meet up
* His belief in me and my abilities in every endeavor I have
* How we can be in a room full of people and he talks to me or we share a moment, private joke, etc, as though no one else is around
* That he is still physically shy around me, in a sweet way
* His friends love him--and he has a ton of them
* He keeps me updated on the Cards games when I am at work, even when he is at the game with his co-workers in the luxury box
* He throws his head back and gives great big belly laughs
* My niece loves him (and kids are so darn intuitive!)
* He communicates with me...he really communicates with me
* He owns the ELO box set and proudly proclaims this
* He has become a text messaging junkie since meeting me

And the list seems to grow every day!
