Welcome Home, J-dog aka Meat

Jeremy is home! Finally I have someone to pester. Take this anecdote, for example:

Sunday night 8pm-ish...

Jill: Let's go for a walk.
Jeremy: I don't really want to. I am still very full from my wonderful Mexican lunch.
Jill: But....
Jeremy: Please, let's just sit here and watch TV.
Jill: (starting to pout) While you were gone, I always noticed couples holding hands walking around the neighborhood around this time and it made me miss you and it would mean so much to me for us to go on a walk blah, blah, blah, blah...
Jeremy: Fine, we can go on a walk if that is what will make you happy (he's that kind of guy).

Jill and Jeremy change clothes and step outside.

Jeremy: It looks like it is going to rain. In fact, I just felt some raindrops on my head.
Jill: It's not going to rain. You obviously haven't been in Texas for a while. Those clouds are going to pass. I know everything, especially about barometric pressure.
Jeremy: Well, if you say so. Let's go.

The couple begins to walk while the darker clouds move in.

Jill: It is a good thing we left when we did so we can have a nice walk and beat the rain.
Jeremy: I think it is raining harder, but if you want, we'll keep going.

Jill and Jeremy walk for a quarter of a mile...

Jill: This sucks, it's kind of raining hard now, let's turn around.
Jeremy clears his throat without having to say, "I told you so."

The wetter the couple got, the more amused Jill became. Jeremy just kept giving her a look that expressed his frustration of being soaked to the skivvies while not even wanted to go out in the first place.

It was nice to have the rain, but maybe not in the middle of the walk. I even tried to jump in a puddle but instead fell on my butt. This made me laugh hard.

Long story short: Jeremy is a nice guy who will go on a walk with me to make me happy even though he knew it would rain and that we would get soaked. There is no better way I could show him I loved him than making him stand in the deluge that blessed Austin on Sunday. Welcome home, baby!
