She had me at "I brought a book for you."

Jay met Saylor about a week or two after July 4, so right about now they have been dating roughly six weeks.  I hesitated to blog about her because she is 18 and Jay is 17.  They are young!!!  I have no idea where they will be in six months from now, let alone a year from now.  But I like this girl.....like really like her.   She brings out the best in Jay.  She has a smile and personality that lights up any room.  She is thoughtful, kind and does what she says she's going to do.  She seems to know who she is and from what I've seen she calls Jay out on things, something that introverted Jay desperately needs (just sayin son)!  About a week ago she came over and Jay was not home yet so it was just her and I.  She handed me a book and simply said she brought me a book  to read.  I must have looked like a deer caught in headlights.  For 17 years I have lived in an all male household and not only do none of them care about reading but they are all dyslexic.  I looked at Saylor and said, "Did Jay tell you I like to read?"  She responded with a big fat No, which made me laugh because it reminded me once again I am the mother of boys!  They are a joy to raise and never boring but they could care less what books their mother reads.  I hugged her and graciously accepted the book.  I had it read in about 5 days and can hardly wait to discuss it with her.
