David Letterman can have his Top Ten List. Jay Leno can have his Top Ten List. But mine tops them all.
Here's my Top Ten List of the reasons why I married my husband, Kurt:
10. Kurt has a deep sexy voice.
9. Kurt makes me laugh all the time. He's a backyard stand up comic.
8. He is stronger than I am personality wise which is what I need to keep me in check.
7. When we first met he had a house, a car, a dog, a cat, two kids and credit. I had none of that and thought I should cash in.
6. His eyes are blue sometimes. They change with what he wears.
5. He can shovel my car out of the snow even in 60 degrees below zero.
4. He fills my love tank to the brim and overflowing.
3. He writes me beautiful poetry and love letters.
2. He has cute buns.
And the number One reason why I married my husband ....
1. He puts the Lord first in his life.
So there you have it. Of course I could write more but then it wouldn't be the Top Ten List.
Have a blessed marriage,
Michelle

The First Kiss Could Last ...
The first kiss could last a lifetime. According to the Gallup poll, Gordon Gallup that is, women judge men based on their first kiss. Barbara Miller wrote an article called "Women judge men on the first kiss, study finds" for ABC News in which she quoted Gordon Gallup regarding his findings on the first kiss.
One of my favorite quotes comes from the movie "Hitch". Will Smith says, "60% of all human communication is nonverbal, body language; 30% is your tone, so that means 90% of what you're saying ain't coming out of your mouth." (Copied from the Internet Movie Database). In other words he's saying actions speak louder than words.
My experience, as a woman, agrees with the experts. Some guys that you kiss are like you're kissing your brother. Yuck! Some guys you know what they are after when they kiss you. If a guy makes you see fireworks when he kisses you, marry him! Fireworks lasts a lifetime.
Trust me. When I kissed my husband for the first time I saw fireworks.
Guess what?! We've been married, happily, for over 24 years. We are still on our honeymoon.
Let me tell you how it happened. In the guys world this is romantic. Kurt had invited myself and a few other single people from our church over to watch Sunday football. The little party was arranged because Kurt's favorite football team, the Minnesota Vikings, was playing and it was being shown on the t.v. in San Diego. Back in the early 80's there weren't the sports channels we have now so the Vikings on t.v. in San Diego was a big thing.
Yes, Kurt was a planner/schemer. He had given our son Ben a new train set for Christmas and it was set up in the garage. At half time Kurt lured everyone out to the garage to see the train set. Well I had already seen it so I didn't go. Towards the end of half time, Kurt came back out into the living room where I was all by myself.
The second half of the game started. Our friends were still in the garage.
The Vikings had the ball on their own 30 yard line. I don't know how much Kurt had to pay the Vikings to do this, LOL, but Kurt said to me, "If the Vikings get a touch down on the next play I'll give you a kiss." Well I hadn't had my first kiss yet so eagerly I said, "Okay!". Not knowing the Vikings like I do now, I doubted I would get my first kiss.
The next play the quarterback throws a long bomb for a touch down! Whoo! Hoo! Luckily all our friends were still in the garage playing with the train. I got my first kiss right then and there. Ooo! La! La! Fireworks! Kurt was the only guy who ever made me see fireworks. I'm pretty sure that kiss was what put me into the love category for our relationship even though I didn't tell him that for a while. And now after 24 years of marriage I still see fireworks every now and then when we kiss.
The first kiss could last a lifetime if it's the right one, by Mr. Right.
You might have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince Charming, but the fun is in the trying.
Is there anyone else out there who has seen fireworks when you've been kissed?
Did you marry the guy or did you let him slip away?
Have a great day,
Michelle Rothwell
