My Knight in Shining Armor

Dustin did something really cute yesterday that I wanted to document.

I was going somewhere in the morning that I was already running late for.  I said goodbye to Dustin and ran out the door.  As I was approaching the car he yelled out our bedroom window (which he often likes to do), "Goodbye my LOOOVEEE!!!" in a funny accent...this is from the movie Dumb and Dumber.  I have never seen the movie but there are a few parts that Dustin finds hilarious.  This is one of them.  As he's yelling out the window and I'm smiling, secretly worrying that he's waking up the poor neighbors, I notice that the car was iced over from the night before.  "Oh no" I think, "there's ice on the car and I'm already running late..."  I may or may not have complained to myself while rushing to start the car and pull out the scraper.  I was able to scrape 1/2 of the first windshield when my Dustball comes bounding down the stairs with a determined look on his face.  He was quite the sight, fully equipped with a sweatshirt, ski pants, and....his Sunday shoes.   I was shocked at how rushed he was to save me from this labor, to the point where he just threw on literally whatever was closest at the moment.  He took the scrapper from me and told me to go relax in the car.  I couldn't stop laughing at how he couldn't have just slipped on some tennis shoes which were probably 10 feet away from him.  It cracked me up but at the same time it was the sweetest thing that totally lifted my frantic mood.  

The amazing thing about this is, it totally describes Dustin's personality.  He is constantly worrying about my welfare and making sure I am comfortable and happy.  He spoils me way too much.  But the refreshing thing about him is he would do this for anyone.  I have seen him literally run around our apartment complex carrying our neighbors groceries, scraping snow off of strangers cars, shoveling walkways, and just making people feel so so happy with his ridiculously bright and handsome smile.  He really is the sweetest, most generous person and he makes me want to be better every day.  

So thank you Dustin for being my Knight in Shining Armor yesterday, and every day.  I think I made a pretty good choice.
