Let me count the ways...

I came across the notebook that I was using during the time that I was planning my wedding, and read a list that I made of the reasons why I love Tyler. They made me laugh and smile and re-appreciate (is that a word) my very cute -then fiance- now husband, so I thought I would share a few....

- I find candy wrappers in the washing machine after he does his laundry
- when we went to see "the ring" in the movie theatre he snored (not intentionally) during the most intense scary part
- he always opens my bedroom door without knocking with the hope that I'm changing
- a lot of times we act like we're in kindergarten
- whenever there's a family get together he spends all of his time playing with the kids
- he said that when he sees my profile he thinks I am the most beautiful person in the world
- if it's humanly possible, he needs more attention than me
- the only thing that stopped him from getting sleeve tattoos was the thought that I might not approve or want to marry him
- he loved my mom
- my mom loved him
- he has held my hair and rubbed my back two different times when I've thrown up (and then he cleans up)
- he can make anything cool
- he loves to pee anywhere but the toilet (i.e. off his parents deck)
- he has the cutest smile and mouth (the corners curl up a little bit)
- I asked him to pick me up from school and he showed up on his bike (he made me ride on the handlebars)
- after he saw me trying on my wedding dress he told me he really liked my "features"
- he lives vicariously through the dogs by feeding them 37 treats a day

So, those are but a few from the list, but you get the idea. The other night as we were falling asleep, Tyler said in his groggy voice "you're my best friend". I could not agree more.

Life as I know it...

I never know what to say on these dang things. Don't get me wrong, I have many inspired thoughts and ideas and things to share... but I never stop when one happens and say, I should blog this. I do want to give a little shout out to miss Ashley Boice who I love with all my heart. I'm glad that you want to know every detail about my house living, dog-filled life. I just wish that you would come up to visit to hear it. BTW, I was laughing so hard at your come lo todo. Well, just a little update, I only have three months of school left. Could I be any happier? as Chandler would say. Tyler has phased out Kelly Canyon and phased in Northern Lawns. Dottie is probably the cutest dog any of you will ever see in your life. While I'm on the subject, I don't think it will be in my interest to have children, because I'm pretty sure that Tyler will forget all about me when we do. Dottie gets way more attention from him. He talks to her in baby voice telling her what a beautiful sweetheart she is and how much he loves her and how pretty she is. I am currently spending every minute that I can watching Gilmore Girls. I have Kelly's DVDs of the first three seasons so I started from the beginning and am getting caught up. What a wonderful but time sucking show. My highlights of today were finally getting our bed that we ordered... did somebody say King size??? Oh yeah, that was me when we ordered it. And we also got our kitchen table that we spent an hour putting together. Not too fun but worth it. Well, that's the update for now. I'll think of something thoughtful and creative and inspired to say for next time.

Wittle Puppy Dog

This is our new puppy!! We haven't brought her home yet, but we bought her last night. She is a Jack Russell terrior, Papered and all that. She's 13 weeks old so not super brand new... but we don't have time for super brand new, so that's probably good. She is so cute and we love her. Any suggestions for a name? I call her Olive, but I don't think Tyler will go for that. Give us some ideas!

Happy Birthday to my NON- doctor, lawyer, and international businessman

Tyler has said since I have known him that he was going to die when he was 25. I am happy to announce that he made it! Yesterday was his 26th birthday, so these are a couple pics from it. The top is from the family get together. The middle is at his work (I surprised him up there with a cake). The bottom is Valentine's night, but I posted it so you could see my dark hair (whoops). Now look very closely at these pictures of Tyler and you can see his Hulk Hogan mustache that he is trying to grow out to compete in a look alike contest. Yikes! haha
