Men of valor
Like many of you, I have been extremely saddened to hear about the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado this weekend. It is heartbreaking to hear about the lives that were lost and the families that are left with the huge loss of loved ones. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who were affected.
I read that there were three men who shielded their girlfriends and lost their lives protecting them. True men of valor. I am sure it was an instinctive move to do so because men innately want to protect. At least, that is what my Father always told me.
He said that any man that does not show you he wants to protect you is not the man for you. He would say, “Pay attention to that kind of thing because it is always about their character.”
A lot of women overlook the importance of a man’s character. It’s not until they are faced with a particular situation that shows them a man’s true character. I believe the same holds true for men. They think that looks are enough until they realize the severe lack of character.
How do you think people show their character in the early stages of dating? What do you pay attention to?
Have you ever dated someone and realized how great their character was? What were the circumstances?

HST – BTW, that day you offered, you had to jump off around 4:30ish, you said you GF was home. You said it was time to play and talked about what she was going to fix for dinner. That sort of killed it for me and the Coach bag….lolololololol

Nice C, I always laugh at the women whom have these massive bags, even if they’re a mommy. I always feel like at any moment they’re going to dump it out like the girl on Breakfast Club revealing their mess. Still, to each their own…
Talk to y’all tomorrow.

Seriously though, the plane would be falling from how many thousand feet, then there is the “after you get your’s on, help your seatmate, I’d be way too busy getting me some more prayers in, asking the Big man to gimme a pass on a few things I had forgot to mention before….

“I want to hit up a ski resort and slightly ski.” How do you do that, Celisea. Start off skiing only to roll down the rest of the slope??

Celisea – Im laughing because it’s the spouses that cut up on here. Naw, that won’t be a safe move.
I realize cutting up is only for the blog then all sense of responsibility sets back in once you whiff the air of reality around you. So, on that note after sniffing the air with their spouses on their arms, it just might work….
Haaaa haaaa haaaa!!!!
