I'm in love...

I'm sitting here with Betsy doing what we do every night - watching an episode of Gilmore Girls. We're at the point where Lorelai and Luke are starting to date - finally! And I realize that I am sitting here and finding myself completely and utterly, head over heels, in love with Luke Danes. Not Luke himself (or Scott Patterson who plays Luke - though he is pretty good looking), but the idea of him - what he represents. He's a manly man. He's solid. He's mature. He has his head on straight. He pursues Lorelai when he finally wakes up and realizes he's over the moon for her. He's not afraid to take that risk. He's pretty freakin' awesome... too bad he's a fictional character.

But I will not give up hope because I have seen firsthand that there are men out there who are exactly like this. I know them. They are my friends... and my brother... and my dad (because my dad is pretty amazing). And I am blessed to have them in my life. I just would really like to live happily ever after with one.
