Hello fellow readers of Big Red Clifford. Chris here. I’ve hijacked my wife’s blog
today because today is our 3 year anniversary and I gotta a few things I’d like to say
about this girl.
Thing Number 1
What a smile. 
 
Yes, as the son of a dentist, I appreciate a good smile.
But lets be real, there’s a lot more to this girl’s smile than straight teeth. It’s the fun,
energetic, and contagiously excited emotions behind the smile that make it so great. I
look forward to seeing it every day.
Que Bad English hit “When I See You Smile” in 3, 2, 1…

Thing Number 2

Don’t know that I’ve ever told her this but I was ‘stalking’ her blog long
before we ever started dating. That girl can write! Her blog is like a great book, hard to
put down. I went through her old blogs during her days in DC and Utah. By the time I
was done, it’s like I knew her already. She has a gift for writing things exactly how she’d
say them. It’s extremely entertaining and absolutely real. Maybe that’s why we were engaged after only a couple of months of dating…

Thing Number 3

What a nerd. Oh you may not know it looking at her or even talking
with her for hours, but that girl is a nerd. An Apple Computer, book reading, English
literature loving nerd. She’s like the sexy librarian in every TV show you ever saw.
Especially when she wears those glasses. The best thing about it is that I’m somewhat
of a nerd myself. We may not see eye to eye when it comes to fashion (I admit I still
have some shirts I used to wear in high school) but we can definitely talk 
Apples to Apples.

Thing Number 4

The Artist. 
Sometimes I feel like I’m married to a Renaissance woman. 
She just does it all. “I decided to try painting today” she says. Next thing you
know we’ve got beautiful hand-made canvas art on our walls. Or how about the photography business she’s been running. Maybe the custom phone and tablet cases she designs, or how about the duvet cover and pillows she whipped together one day. 
There’s no limit to what she can make or do.
Thing Number 5
Because of that girl, this bunch of nerds is going to be just fine.
Not a day goes by I don’t consider myself lucky.
Happy anniversary sweetie. 3 years and counting. 
Looking forward to all the years ahead.
