So in Love.

So tonight I was sitting at the nurse's station, doing some charting, scoping out facebook, and checking my texts, as drew was giving me updates on how Brad was doing at the races. One of my least favorite things about having a job: missing Brad racing. :( Anyways, drew texted me that he won his heat by a straightaway. Yay! Then an hour later or so, she texts me again telling me Brad won the feature! Double yay!! :) But the next few texts shook my core in a way I'll never forget.

It was kids night at the races and were doing it specifically in memory of kids who have passed away. After brad had won the feature a little boy came over and wanted his picture taken with Brad. Brad obliged and was talking with the little boy. The boy told brad that his twin brother had died of cancer. Brad gave his trophy to the boy, and I'm told that the boy hugged Brad over and over and had the biggest, brightest smile on his face that never ended.

I will never forget this moment. I wish I had been there. I've been in love with Brad Williams since the day I met him. I've always known he was kind and sweet, but I always thought it was a in a subtle, small waves sort of way. He definitely doesn't often let that side show. Brad isn't someone who likes to make a fuss, and even moreso isn't someone who likes people to make a fuss over him.

It makes me fall in love with him all over again when I think of him giving his trophy to that boy. Brad isn't the most romantic, or the sweetest, or definitely the most lovey dovey man I've ever met, but he's definitely one of the most humble and kind hearted. Beneath his gruff, growly exterior beats a warm, loving heart and I'm counting myself truly blessed to be the future Mrs. Brad Williams.
