Loved this!
Thanks babe, I love you too. This was nice. However, I must correct a few statements.
#11 is not true. It is a plain fabrication. I have been telling her this for years and she doesn't beleive me.
#42 I think this is an indirect slam.
#45 Only Sallings knows why I like my Beehive. No use explaining.
#70 This is true. And I am the humblest person I know as well.
#93 Fords, DP, OU, Mormon Church and Homemade Ice Cream. Somethings will never change.
And for all the women reading her blog, just FYI, she stole this idea from me. She has a "100" list she got for valentines day a few years back. Very nice though.
Love you babe.
This is such a sweet post. I smiled through the whole thing. What a great guy you have Jaimie. Wow, I can't believe it's almost been nine years...really? Where does the time go?
HAHAHA! At "Superman's" comments. I actually had to pull up the original post and follow along with all his points. ;)
On #11, Jeremiah does the same thing. He also denies it at every turn.
