I may or may not surprise our couples with a gift of a few of my favorite things. Never has the gesture been returned, nor is it expected. The other day I came home to a package. A package addressed to me from an unfamiliar address. Lo and behold it was a gift from our awesome bride Karen that include a few of HER favorite things. In conversation, I mentioned to Karen that my sweet boyfriend is going through a program in the Air Force comparable to the Navy’s Top Gun program. Confidently nodding my head like I knew what I was talking about I said, “Kinda like the movie,” though I’d never seen the movie. To which Karen could not fathom that being the romantic I am had never seen Top Gun. Days later, she saw to it that the situation was remedied.
I did watch Top Gun and consumed my very first Junior Mint (how did I not had these before?!) and have decided Top Gun is now one MY favorite movies. I can now confidently say that my boyfriend’s training actually is fairly similar to Top Gun. Minus the volleyball part. ;-)
Thank you Karen! You are THE coolest!! I feel like a complete person now having seen this and eaten a Junior Mint!
With love,
René
