man candy

remember that time my blog turned into a photography blog?

yesterday travis was about to shave his beard off, (he never gets to grow a beard because firemen can't have beards. but because we went up to wyoming and worked, he didn't go to the station and thus had a longer amount of time to grow said beard.) and i yelled, "wait!!!" and then forced him to take a few pictures.  because his scruff just does it for me. oh gross...

i know i keep saying this, but i didn't know it was possible to love someone as much as a love travis. i'm embarrassed to admit this, but on saturday night, we went to the new rachel mcadams movie, the vow. i know right? so lame.

*spoiler alert* so in the movie, this couple gets in a car accident and the wife loses her memory of their marriage. and then the husband tries to help her fall back in love with him. soooo corny. this movie affected travis and i in completely different ways. for me, i watched the cheese fest of love and cried. not during the sad parts, but during the happy parts. because whenever i used to watch sappy, unrealistic "chick flicks" i would be so depressed and so cynical, thinking, this could never happen. and it will never happen for me. this time, as i watched this fictional couple interact with such ridiculous cuteness, i could totally relate. it was like, that looks familiar. i have that. and i cried. during the vow. groan.

so then after the movie, i asked travis what he thought of it.
"that movie made me super angry!" he exclaimed.
"angry? how could that sappy movie make you angry?" i was a little surprised.
"i could have killed him." travis said simply.
"what?? killed who??"
"that ex boyfriend! i can't believe he told the husband he would sleep with his wife. i wouldn't have just punched that guy; i would have killed him."

the ex boyfriend plays, i thought, i pretty minimal role in that movie. but that just bothered travis so much. the entire movie bothered him. as he said, "if you lost your memory in a car accident, i would try harder than that guy to help you get it back. he just gave up. i wouldn't give up."
swoon.
travis isn't a jealous husband and he wasn't a jealous boyfriend. i have a best friend who is a guy and we hang out all the time, just the two of us. travis is 100% good with it. so hearing his reaction to that movie was a pretty sweet moment for me. (not that i ever wanted travis to be a jealous partner, but it is nice to hear how protective he could be.)
plus, travis's naked bum, is so much nicer than channing tatums's bare backside. but then, channing tatum is just not my type. i'm obviously more into psychology professors who look like patrick dempsey. by the by, travis read that post and was like, oh a crush on your teacher huh? oops.
sorry for the sappiness; couldn't help myself.
