No I did not go out and get married while no one was looking. Instead I gained a "work husband". I have previously written about accidental friendships and how much they have grown to mean to me and this friendship is no different. I also promised this person that I would dedicate a post just to him. I however will not call him by name. To save his anonymity I will call him Elvis. (Hopefully I have made him smile at this point)
Like I have stated I never actually walk around saying "I am going to make a friend today". It just sometimes happens. And sometimes those friendships are amazing.
Have you ever just met someone and instantly clicked? Well that is NOT what happened between Elvis and I. As a matter of fact I thought we hated each other for the first month or so. Then something happened...he read my blog. Not only did he read it but he liked it. I guess at this point I had to start liking someone who obviously had good taste in reading.
All kidding aside I like his "realness'. He does not beat around the bush and gives it to you straight. We also have more in common than I would have at first thought. I guess looks can really be deceiving huh? He certainly does not look like a "farm kid" until you get to know him. And then he seems to fit right in.
How else can I ramble on about his awesomeness? He never hesitated to give me a ride home in the dark while my car was broken down. He absolutely refused to drop me off on the street corner like "a hooker". Even though the corner was just a short walk to my house. He still insisted on dropping me in the driveway. I am glad that he does not think that I am a hooker. I have worked a very long time to avoid that fate. :)
Now that I have my car back I will kind of miss the evening drives where he would entertain me with some weird version of Name that tune/What's your jam. Apparently in our history of growing up we used to rock to the same jams. Not the same ones as everyone else mind you but the same ones as each other.
Oh and the coolest thing about Elvis.....We share the same birthday! Of course it was my birthday before it was his birthday but for someone as awesome as he is. I think I can share.
