Day 7: Your Best Friend

This is an easy post because I get to talk (ok, brag) about my best friend, Frederick Scott Shoell!

Let me tell you why he's my best friend. Aside from loving me unconditionally and being a total sweetheart, he is lot of fun. That comes as a surprise to most people because he can come off as a "fuddy-duddy", but it's because he's shy. When he's around close friends and family, he's a riot. I mean, seriously, I almost wet myself the other day when he started singing and dancing to Katy Perry. He's always breaking out into song at random and it's so entertaining to me.

He has the funniest quirks. For example, when we first got married I was always putting his shoes in the closet, and sure enough he'd line them up by the bed again. Because of his feet he just feels more comfortable having them out. I just laugh about it now. Another example, I rarely bother making the bed because he's way OCD about it and will remake it before getting into bed - usually with me already in it. So funny. Although in the winter it's annoying when the sheets have gotten warm and then he moves them and they're cold again.

Scott is very nerdy. He's a Treker, which I am not, but I've learned to at least appreciate it...a little. But we're both huge Star Wars fans which was a must for me in a husband ;) We can throw out movie quotes on a regular basis and be totally entertained by ourselves. We have so much fun together. We've been accused of being a bit anti-social but it's because we love being together! With Scott being in school full time and working full time our time together feels precious. We can be totally contented to curl up on the couch and watch episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" or a movie we've already seen one hundred times.

I could go on and on, but I won't. I'll just end by saying how grateful I am for him. He's fun, handsome, a good person, a righteous Priesthood holder that I can always count on, and he's MINE ALL MINE!
