the walking oxymoron

It's true, I have been known to refer to Bernard as my walking oxymoron.
(what does that mean, you may be asking) Well, I'll tell you.
Shortly after our wedding, I began to notice a few things that didn't appear to have the ability to coincide with one another. As much as I believed I knew the man I married, I have learned that living with someone gives you a whole new perspective. Let me give you a few examples:
- Bernard is meticulous in the kitchen, but his desk is a pack rat's haven.
- He spent five years getting a great degree in forestry, but prefers to spend his days working with Information Technology (in which, he has had no formal training or certification).
- Bernard is most definitely an introvert, but one of his favorite things is meeting new people in a big group setting (shudder).
- As you may assume from Bernard's training in forestry, he is an environmentalist - but of course he has no problem with using all the natural resources available (blasphemy to all those tree huggers out there).
There are many more instances, believe me. I love my husband dearly, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: every day is an adventure!
