Kelly
I seem to find myself doing more man-bashing than man-bragging-on so for the first time ever..
(and God, please don't make me eat my words)
..I like Kelly.
I kindasorta hope he's my son-in-law one of these days.
He's not a mountain man. He's intelligent, he's a college student, studying to become a Registered Nurse...and he works part time in a fast food restaurant, so he has drive and ambition.
He's wonderful with Joel, and I saw clearly yesterday, that Joel's crazy about him. When Kelly stopped by to bring Joel's shoes (he'd kicked them off in the car and we needed them so Joel could play in the yard - Kelly brought them within minutes, we didn't have to wait hours until Kelly did other things that were 'more important' - okay, okay, that in itself impressed me.) Joel headed towards the car with Kelly. He was intent on going too. He was quite upset when he realized he wasn't going, and I think Kelly would have taken him too, but he had to go to work. (Joel ended up going with Sarah for a while, he loves hanging out with her too.)
Kelly stayed for a long time in the yard before he had to go, just hanging out with Joel, swinging him, walking behind him as Joel explored.
He's got a pretty good sense of humor too. I think even mom might like him a little. That's saying a whole lot.
For Valentine's day, he bought Bonnie the cutest little Mr. Perfect doll.. she brought it to show me and it cracked me up. "Dear you are looking WONDERFUL today." "You stay right there in bed, I'm serving you breakfast right there again." "Let's invite your mother over for dinner." lol.. that was cute as could be. He truly seems to be good to Bonnie, and good for her as well.
Okay, that's my public once in a lifetime brag on one of the girl's fellas. Not to say the others aren't nice... but Lord I hope I haven't jinxed anything here with these words.
Please, please, please, Kelly don't ever change!
