I like to think I'm pretty manly. I shave every day, I frequently change lightbulbs with my bare hands, and I don't own a single article of pink clothing. However, in one particular way I'm not manly at all--I LOVE a good love story. I cried when I first read "Charly", my heart goes aflutter every time Wesley and Buttercup kiss at the end of "The Princess Bride", and I once watched "Pride and Prejudice"....by myself (I'm not going to admit which version). Thus, tonight when I watched this clip of a returned missionary surprising his girlfriend on her birthday, I couldn't help but smile. You can read more about Josh (the missionary) and Brit (the girlfriend) at the Deseret News.
Durante degli Alighieri Jr., thanks for your comment! I just checked out your blog. I dig your sense of humor. You are right--we have very similar interests (we're basically twins...except you have muscles).
Totally identified with this post, made my fingers tingle from my last 'manly' encounter with changing a light bulb.
ReplyDeleteStumbled onto your Blog while searching for a talk from one of the Prophets; we share a lot of the same interests, thanks for your writings!
