Wife, mother, laugh-er at very inopportune moments, and matchmaker. I am an excessive user of commas and exclamation marks. I once won March Madness despite knowing nothing about basketball, and I know how to find all the best Dunkin Donuts coupons. Clearly my talents are just endless.

writing this list made my blood pressure rise

Today is our 11th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, I decided to write a love letter detailing what I love about Christopher.

Just kidding!

Here’s a list of 11 things we disagree on.

1. Will Smith vs Chris Rock
2. Mushrooms
3. If stop signs in parking lots should be respected as much as stop signs on the road.
4. Whether or not football and soccer are chaotic and unproductive sports.
5. If we should leave for church at 9:35 or 9:40.
6. The importance of drinking more than three cups of water a week.
7. When taking a flight, should one wait until boarding begins to waltz down to Houston News and buy a coke or get it several minutes in advance to ensure you don’t miss the plane.
8. The best way to thaw meat
9. Having headphones in around others
10. The level of kitchen cleanliness at the end of the night.
11. Does the garage door need to be shut every single time we walk through it.

This was one of our toughest years (for the third year in a row so please God, make this year better) but we made it through. Our little family doesn’t look like what we thought it would but it’s ours and it’s my favorite.

Update from the weather desk- it hit 57 degrees this morning. FIFTY-SEVEN.  The locals are calling it a cold front and bundling up. I call it normal weather for October. You'd think the cool air would mean my brain is fresh and unfried but I've completely...

Never met a goat she didn't love. THEY HAD A PEN FULL OF BUNNIES WE COULD WALK AROUND IN. I WAS IN HEAVEN.Notice AB's hand on my shoulder. She has to be touching me at all times. Two of my favorite things- a bunny and my baby. You'll be shocked to learn that the white...
