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
