Brian is really a sweetheart. I don't say that enough. We're not one of those sappy couples oohing and ahhing over one another all the time. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just not us. But we do have our moments...
Over the next few weeks, everyone in our German class has to give a short presentation over their favorite object. A bit like show-and-tell. Brian was up first, but he refused to tell me what he was taking as his favorite object. He said he would probably take one of his books.
When it came time for his presentation, sure enough, Brian pulled a book from his bag. But it wasn't one of the books I was expecting. It was a small book of poetry. His poetry. You see, many years ago when Brian and I were dating, I asked if I could read some his poetry and I made the poems into a book. The book itself isn't all that impressive -- the pages are uneven and the words are crooked -- but it's a pretty special book.
His presentation was very sweet. One of the girls even cried. Then I gave my presentation, which was about one of our wedding photos.
Maybe we are one of those sappy couples after all.

That is so sweet. I am thankful that all of my daughters have found loving, caring, strong Christian men. I am so impressed with Brian's ability to write and speak so fluently. If he can already make someone cry giving a German presentation, he apparently has mastered the German language as well.
I think the tears came after hearing how horrendous his German is.
