One of my favorite happens to be Beauty and the Beast.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And do you know why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow the backwards beast who is constantly sticking his foot in his mouth, messing things up, etc etc ends up with the prettiest girl in the land.&lt;br /&gt;(And truth be told, I also like the fact that the guy with chest hair gets the girl instead of some pretty boy who shaves his entire body...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They might has well have named that story "Tuesdee and the Beast"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would have thought that I could end up with a girl like Tuesdee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is the "Trophy Wife" that every guy wishes he could have.&lt;br /&gt;She is amazingly beautiful&lt;br /&gt;Unbelievably talented - particulary with anything that involves creativity, &lt;br /&gt;such as Photography, her blog, interior design, knitting, crafts (Check out the Witchkin!)&lt;br /&gt;She has a smile that will light up the room&lt;br /&gt;She is always happy, and she makes everyone feel special&lt;br /&gt;She is a HUGE Steelers fan!!!!!  (She demands that we watch ALL the Steelers games!)&lt;br /&gt;She learned every car in the book, just so we could talk about cars&lt;br /&gt;She is an awesome mother to our children.  She devotes so much time into helping them, teaching them, loving them and playing with them.  I remember numerous random pillow fights, restling matches, dance-a-thons, ice cream sundays out of the blue, you name it. Our kids are lucky!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But most of all - &lt;br /&gt;She still loves me after all of my Shinnanigans!!!&lt;br /&gt;And believe me, I have not made it easy (not on purpose though... I promise!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could create an entire blog post about all the of stupid stuff I have done over the last 11 years (including some of the things I should have done, but didn't...)&lt;br /&gt;but I won't.
