The Yo-Yo | | Jordan

Jordan has been telling me I need to share this story. He actually told me last night that he would give me $100 if this post gets the most hits out of any of my posts. 

He's a laugh a minute and most of you know him as that. He can make me laugh even when I don't want to laugh. 

We have very little time with two small girls at home to have time alone, especially with Addison still sleeping between us and she stays up until 1-2am every night. (No judgement, this is what works for us.) 

Well, one night a couple of weeks ago he was standing in the living room playing with a yo-yo of the girls. It is one that glows when you yo-yo with it. He tells me to meet him in the bedroom. 

I go get the girls bath started. He said he had been in there for what seemed like forever when I walked back in. He said "I felt like I had been yo-yoing about 10 minutes when you came in. I didn't know if I was going to be able to keep it going."

He was standing on the bed... in his boxers... all the lights off.... yo-yoing. I kid you not!! The only thing you could see was the yo-yo going up and down.

I immediately busted out laughing. I was laughing so hard. He kept on yo-yoing... and saying "Do you want to walk this dog?" and "How about going around the world" (all tricks with the yo-yo)

I laughed until I had tears rolling down my face. I don't know how the girls didn't come trying to figure out what I was laughing at, but I guess they were too into their bath time. 

God knew what He was doing when He brought Jordan into my life. He is such a goof, that we really do laugh all the time. I can be so mad and him make me laugh. 

I even ran across a picture on Facebook today that he took of me when I was mad... and I was laughing. I can't remember what he said to make me laugh but I was laughing. I can't stay mad long. 

He tries to make life fun for me - even in the hard times. 

I can remember when we bought his suit to wear to Emery's funeral and he couldn't remember how to tie his tie when he was trying everything on and he had us cracking up with how he was attempting it. Then he came out in a hat that looked like he was cousin Eddie off of Christmas Vacation. He had us rolling in Belk. 

I'm telling you he keeps me young. 

If you have someone who makes you laugh, ALL.THE.TIME, never let them go. It's pretty priceless. Laughter really is the best medicine. 

There ya go, babe...I shared your story. 

(I shared this story with his permission... and his constantly telling me to share it. After we shared it with one of his friends last night, he kept on about it. I figured it can't hurt and maybe you guys can get a good laugh out of our times together, too.)
