Better Together

It's official. We made it to the year mark (over a month ago). I thought in honor of this most blessed occasion a top ten list is in order.

Okay! Top ten fav things about our first year as Mr and Mrs:

10) Read-a-thons on the couch. E-books count right?

9) Mitchell's bi-monthly purges on my closet. It usually takes me only a few days to forgive his kind donations to Goodwill on my behalf.

8) TV on DVD marathons. Or, let's be real-Netflix marathons.

7) Birthday coupons for back rubs that I stretch to last all year.

6) Road trips. Mostly to Cali, there's been about 6 or 7 this year alone. We listen to terrible music reminiscent of high school and eat terrible food. Like Yum Yum Donuts outside of Beaumont.

5) Discovering my new passion for hiking, which could also be called my passion for taking my dog cool places that he can explore and run around.

4) Being scared out of my mind at least twice a week. Turns out, my husband finds joy in hiding behind doors and jumping out at me. The first time I fell to the floor in a useless heap. I've since progressed to throwing things and punching.

3) Settling our fights with wrestling matches. I rarely win, but I do know just the right buttons to push to get myself pushed off the bed. And it always amuses me. Plus Mitchell's ticklish. In case anyone needed to find a weakness in his manly exterior.

2) The sickeningly sweet and cheesy nicknames we have for eachother. It's turned into a game. Whoever pauses or repeats a name thats already been said loses.

1) Nightly cuddle sessions on the couch. Wouldn't miss them for the world. Bonus: if we have a blanket Fender gets to come cuddle too.

  1. my frister, you are an excellent writer. It saddens me also to note that you are more funnier than Kelly. And possibly me.

  2. 10) by read-a-thon she means, she reads a book, while i read up on current events in the geek world, and we both pretend we are watching tv but really we have add way to bad to actually just focus on the tv.

    9) good will is thankful for your old worn out shoes that you openly admit to having to intention to ever wear again..

    8) good thing we bought that big nice TV! that way we can leave it downstairs and watch netflix on our laptop in our bed upstairs!

    7) best birthday gift i ever gave...

    6). chocolate long john, with chocolate filling, and chocolate chips on top. yes please.

    5) i may be disguising scouting for great mountain bike trails as "hiking"

    4) and its working! in stead of falling to the floor in a heap of uselessness, you fight back! you should be thanking me.

    3) by she rarely wins what she means is sometimes she lets me win. it helps my self esteem. ill be honest, sometimes I'm terrified of her. =D

    2) if only they could hear the songs i write for you.... hahaha

    1) when searching for a couch our main priority was to find one big enough to cuddle on... now that fender feels entitled to join us... we might need a bigger couch.


    this has been the best year of my life! i love you so much babe and im glad to be your husband!

  3. I'm sorry... Did I read the words "passion for hiking" somewhere in there??? Are there unicorns and tigers involved?
