An Ode to Mr. Jimmy Jon Redcorn

When my heart broke into tiny little pieces, I never thought that it would be able to mend, but let me tell you what, it did.  I give full responsibility to Mr. Jimmy.  He is not the typical guy that I go for, that's for damn sure.  I'm not exactly country girl material and he is a country boy.  His whole family comes from a labor intensive family, whereas the majority of mine has sat at desks for most of their lives.  He works on cars.  I don't know shit about cars.  What I do know is that it took me five long months to fall in love with him, but when I did, I fell hard.  We're the corny couple that lays out on blankets during the middle of the summer and stargazes for hours.  We're the corny couple that read books out loud to each other.  We're the corny couple that jams out to Sinatra while road tripping.  We are both goofy motherfuckers and that, my friends, is where we find our middle ground.
My point is that sometimes things work out best if you think outside of the box.  Sometimes you have to break that normality that you are so used to because the best things in life are the things that are unexpected. 
Happy Valentine's Day everybody, I hope you find a love like that someday.
