Awesomeness is...

Sounds like you made a good find my friend. I took mine to our hangar one day to show her the jets, and her only comment was that it was creepy and looked dangerous......and that she liked the T-45 much better because it was cute. Aside from that, I can count the time in milliseconds that it takes for her eyes to glaze over when I start talking about aviation (or when we go to a museum/airshow/etc).

Seriously? Seeing as my girlfriend talked me into taking her to Tucson last month because she wanted to see Pima and tour the boneyard despite having pneumonia, I guess I'm pretty lucky. In fact, before the flight to TUS, we did a cross country up to Santa Rosa, and she called my early turn out to get into the clear as the airport was about to become IFR "badass". I really want to give her a big hug now.

I hear you 100%, Seggy. I never really give it much thought because I'm so used to it, but the fact my girlfriend comes from a family that's really involved in aviation lead her to appreciate it. Granted, she's flown into Kai Tak and all she has to say about it is how cool it was to take a bus out to the airplane, and she wishes Air Canada(where she works) flew the Embraer 170 to SFO instead of the 190 because its "cuter". But she does think the Blue Angels are the coolest thing ever, love airshows, and likes to be driven around the ramp to watch all the airplanes. I think the hottest thing is that she actually understands why I aspire to fly the Brasilia and have no desire to fly the RJ despite the fact it pays more and it's a shiny jet. I'd imagine a lot of guys would have some issues trying to explain that one. "Honey, I know I could be making more money but you don't get it, it'll be more FUN!".
