In July, Don and his fellow bloggers over at We Love DC posted entries about why they love this town. Don finished his entry with this:
The most recent treasure DC gave me was that my darling girlfriend agreed to become my darling fiancée here - on the under-appreciated Roosevelt Island - and that’s going to be a hard one to top.
I thought I should return the favor, only in reverse. Here’s one of the million or so reasons I love Don and agreed to marry him:
He cooks me a delicious breakfast every weekend. I make the coffee (usually), but Don does the rest. This morning we had scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, turkey bacon and rosemary sourdough bread. Before he met me, Don had never tried turkey bacon … but the fact that he wholeheartedly embraced it because I prefer it is touching (especially since I know he’d prefer the traditional pork kind). What a guy.

What were the other 36 reasons why you LOVE Don…of course, besides the obvious…he is cute; makes you quiver when you see him; etc.

Ah … you’ll have to stay tuned. I’ll get to them in no particular order. Here’s one - he does laundry. And he’s good at it. And he does it without complaint WAY more often than me.

Hey - I cook breakfast and do laundry but you aren’t gushing about me. What gives?
Seriously, Don is a pretty good guy. Looks like a good breakfast too. I will be there at 9 on Saturday to enjoy it with you two.

Oh Carl, I am gushing. Just not on this blog. Plus, you know, Don gave me jewelry.
You’ll be crying on the doorstep this weekend as Don and I are off to Ocean City to taste our wedding menu!
