As a grammar nerd, I heart gerunds. They are words that make me feel like an active adult and they run rampant through my thoughts and speech.

I heart using them, and I heart hearing them used by others.

In fact, it is easy to say that gerunds brought me and muh honey together. I actually made a joke on our first date that used the word "gerunds" and teased my usage of them.

She laughed.

It was fate.

Regardless, gerunds are great. Let's review my 4th of July Weekend using only gerunds.
