Mismatched for a reason...

Ever seen one of those couples?

You know the ones.

The ones that just make you wonder…

How on earth did he/she get her/him?

Not to name any names but...

In my (pre-married) world it was always the gorgeous guy with the plain less than gorgeous girl. (Clearly, the opposite problem is going on in the pics above...)

And a little part of me died inside.

Like, why on earth was he with her?

A guy that hot should be with someone equally as hot. Or at the very least, ME.
But over the years, I have learned something.

Hot guys are usually not smart guys.

And smart lights me up way more than hot.

I went out with some “hot” guys in my time.

And usually about 2 seconds into the conversation I was bored.

I remember one specific “hot” guy who lacked originality to the extent that I almost forgot about him within a week.

Our conversations were about him. All.about.him.

Sadly, I don't even remember his name. . . Maybe Aaron?  Or Mike?  Or Jamie? 

Seriously forgettable.

But anyway, somewhere along the way, I grew up and realized something else.

Smart is way hotter than “hot”.

I could argue all the gorey details.

But really, how can you argue with this?

I love you, honey! 

Thank you so much for not being boring.

For being so wicked nerdy smart.

And for always making me laugh!


*It should be noted that I saw Katy Perry on Ellen and she said she just couldn't get enough of his sense of humor, which I clearly I understand, so yeah, I think I get her choice.  Even though it looks odd.

**It should also be noted that I in no way think of my hubby as anything less than steaming-up-the-windows/so-hot-in-here hot.  However, I would totally understand it if you didn't.  And let's keep it that way, cause I'm still a hands-off-my-man kinda girl.
