My Sad Goodbye

I loved my husband's blog before I loved him- hell, before I met him.

I read it everyday. Usually first thing in the morning, but also usually when I came home from the bar at 2 in the morning- and don't think Suz and Jill let that slip away unnoticed.

If you have a crush on a website? Your friends will tease you mercilessly.

I had sort of and idea about what kind of man would write such a witty blog. It didn't hurt that he was as cute as a button. Well, when I met him he wasn't exactly what I'd expected, not quite as "cool" but that's probably a good thing... had he been as "hip" as I'd built him up in my imagination we never would have gotten together.

While he wasn't too hip, he was adorably bashful and seemed as smitten with me as I was with him.

Win-win!

My friends, upon meeting him were surprised that he was much mellower that his hyper singing-dancing alter ego; his Berg With Fries persona.

After we moved in together, and even after we were married, he still made his videos cloaked in secrecy, so I was as surprised and delighted as everyone else when I got to see them- after he posted them on him website.

I know this sounds kind of funny, but when he told me he was retiring his blog, I was actually sad. His was by far my favorite blog to read, and even though I get to keep the rest of him, I will miss the carefully constructed lists and videos and stories that made me fall in love with him in the first place.

N.B. He wrote his farewell blog post yesterday, and then last night something so shocking and blog worthy happened that he just had to write once more.

Your friends can't really make fun of you since you actually MARRIED the guy...it's such a great story!
He needs to keep blogging though...life would not be the same without it!
