I'm a Nerd (married to a free spirit)
I absolutely know that I'm a nerd. It was never more apparent than when I married a free spririt. (If you listen or read Dave Ramsey, you know that he says, typically every marriage has a nerd and a free spirit.) I'm the bill payer, bookkeeper, and other nerdy stuff. The Chief is the fun finder, suprise generator, and other free sprited stuff! (His role sounds so much more exciting than mine!)
The other day, as I was on our latest adventure with my free spirit, I realized that without him my nerdy tendencies would leave my life pretty boring. I think every nerd needs a free spirit. And of course, every free spirit needs a nerd.
Having a free spirit in my life makes it complete! He adds all the things I'd be missing and in turn I make sure that we're good with the IRS and power company. Together we make a really good life! We can embrace our differences and enjoy the benefits of our balanced choices.

i love that picture! what a great angle, you two look and sound good together!
and even without knowing you very well yet, i'm thinking, *based on my own experiences of course* that it took a lil learning process to realize that differences are embrace-able! and can be enjoyed, as iron sharpens iron...to celebrate the benefits! makes me feel like saying saying to both of us, you go girl!
@down_onthefarm - So true! It is a learning process. When we embrace the differences, we can anticipate the latter years will be even better than the first!
