2. My new version of 'killing' spiders is trapping them under cups and waiting until my husband can come home and kill them.

3. You can have a perfect date night with two bowls of ice cream and a hundred awesome YouTube videos... Like this one here. Or this one here.

4. How warm girls like the house to be:

Acceptable only under the clause "We're poor" / "I want an easy dinner" / "I'm running a marathon tomorrow":

6. Snooze buttons are SO much more tempting when there's snuggling involved.

7. If your husband is snoozing on the couch and will not come to bed, just go to the kitchen and start yelling "Cockroach, cockroach, cockroach!" He'll get up. :)

8. Instant mood-setter

9. You don't need a security system when you're newlywed and poor. (Seriously, we left these signs up when we went home over summer break):

10. The absolute meanest thing you can do to another person... is rub against a mosquito bite they didn't know they had...

11. Living with an manual car parked in your driveway everyday does not mean you'll learn how to drive stick. (I've really got to get on that!)

13. Babysitting used to feel like, "Oh, this will be fun for a few hours!" Now if feels like, "Oh nooo these days are coming for me!!"

14. My desk:

His desk:

To his credit, it doesn't normally look like this.
We were renovating this summer and I think

15. This happened one day.... We picked it off the floor and ate it anyway.

16. Living with and loving your very best friend just very well might be the very best thing in this very hard world. :) I love you so much, Dan, and I could not have dreamed up a better husband! Thanks for letting me tease you a little in this post. I'll try not to hog all the sheets tonight to make up for it. :)
