When we first met, Blake and I talked a lot on "the chats" (that's what we like to call them) while we were both at work. In one of those first chats I remember Blake sharing pictures of Comic Con with me. He told me that it was his dream to go at least once in his life. Being a non-nerd, I had never heard of Comic Con before.
Basically, I knew from the very start that Blake is a HUGE nerd. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) When we were engaged and I was trying to decide what to give him as a wedding gift, I had a flash of inspiration--I knew the perfect gift for him: A trip to Comic Con! He was thrilled, and we're going this summer.
Being the super nerd that he is, Blake is hoping that we can go dressed up and maybe win some kind of prize.
However, I'm expecting that my experience will be a little more like the guy on the left here:
And I'm pretty sure at some point in the future, our kids will look something like this:
All kidding aside, I really love Blake's nerdery. My favorite is when he really geeks out about something. Even thinking about it makes me smile.
On the first day of Blake, let's all raise our glasses to nerdery. (To nerdery!)
Don't worry, Becca, I had never heard of Comic Con before I met David so I guess we're both experiencing a whole new world. Happy birthday month to Blake! Congrats on reaching the big 3-O =)
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Comic Con, and although I am not a huge nerd (more of a smallish one) I would LOVE to go. They are supposed to be very fun. I think you'll love it. It will kind of be like taking a kid to Disneyland for the first time. You will enjoy watching Blake geek out over EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteLet me just warn you that the traffic on the 5 on the saturday of comic con is awful! I would say the 15 should be better....but you should leave early! And while I am just getting to know Blake, I would like to add that my Jason is quite the nerd himself and I love that he and Blake get along so well! Thank you Blake for finding our sweet Becca. She is near and dear to this family's heart!!! And we love both of you very much!! (just a bit mushy, eh?? But you know I only speak the truth!)
ReplyDeleteTo Nerdery!!! *:D*
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear about Comic Con until Twilight... and I think that's blasphemous to a true Comic Con fan. :S I'm not sure though.
Happy Birthday to the Blakester. I think we should all watch the "White and Nerdy" music video in his honor! ;)
