He's Not Tired of Me Yet

In honor of our 8 YEAR ANNIVERSARY tomorrow (still time to go buy me a gift, babe!), I wanted to dedicate this post to the top 50 things that I love about the man who got tricked into spending the rest of his life with me. (insert evil laugh here.)  I say "tricked".  And it sounds funny. . .but if you only knew the whole story. Since you couldn't care less and are just flattering me by reading this post, I won't bore you with ALL the details.  I will just say that at some point, about 12 years ago, I stole this poor man's fish, left a ransom note, and forced him to meet me for dinner in order to get his fish back.  Next proceeded lots of stalking and waiting for this man to realize that I was the best thing since sliced bread before he asked me to marry him. The rest is history. After more than a decade of laughs, struggles, 2 screaming toddlers, and unending life compromises, I can say without hesitation that I wouldn't trade him for the world.  There are so many crazy reasons why I love BC. . .just for YOU, I will "count thy ways". . .
