My Favorite Man

Can I just say that I am sooo in love with my husband. I've never loved like this before or felt loved like this before. Being married is one of the most fun things ever.

I'm so happy.

The dreadful "quiet" person - Me

I am more of a quiet person by nature. I used to wish I was louder, talked more and was more "the life of the party" kind of person. But I'm not. And I've become very o.k. and comfortable with the quiet person that I am.

Yet, what I've been realizing is that my quiet makes some people very uncomfortable.

I can be at dinner with a few serious hard core talkers - who go back and forth, back and forth (sometimes I wonder how they eat, breath and are able to talk so much) and then they will out of no where - usually mid sentence say "my, your being awfully quiet" I usually just smile cause what do you say to a comment like that.

Or the other day I literally had just walked into a room and a woman said "Oh Anne! - you are so quiet." And I wonder if I should of walked through the doorway waving my hands and having a conversation with myself.

I often get weird comments like these and it used to drive me crazy because I felt like I was being misunderstood. I am often more relaxed and quiet, just listening or maybe I don't have anything to say but I am not mute. I love to talk and laugh - I do it everyday. And trust me I can be quite loud and obnoxious at times, ask my husband :)

I think what I've come down to is that the quiet makes many people uncomfortable - therefore sometimes some people say these nervous comments. Yet I am very comfortable and peaceful in the quiet. So I am thankful for that. Yet, it could also be a challenge to me to get out of my comfortable quite place sometimes and talk more.
