Tomorrow B made the conscious decision to be married to me for 5 years. I at least owe him a top 10 list.

Dear B,

Tomorrow we have officially been married for 5 years. Do you believe it? Yeah I guess I do too. This past year I think took a good 3 off of our lives. But now that we’ve come out on the other side, I’m very confident we can handle a future kitchen remodel.

Since you always ask me to do top 10 lists, I’m doing to do one and dedicate it to you. And also share it with the internet. You’re cool with that right?

Top 10 reasons why I love you B.

10) You’re cool with me sharing stuff with the internet. Like all the stuff.

9) When you’re super gassy, you know it. You’re not all in denial and weird about it like other people. You accept it and you voluntarily sleep in the guest room to air out your organs. That sort of courtesy does not go unappreciated. The rest of the female population should be so lucky.

8 You don’t judge me when I say things like, wait…what’s going on in Palestine again? I swear I went to Ira Palenstine’s Bar Mitvah…  And then you tell me and I’m like, Jesus B, can you NOT talk during the preview for next week’s Vampire Diaries?

7) You do the grossest stuff in the house 1) brush the cats 2) unclog our poop toilets daily 3) clean cat vomit 4) kill all bugs. It’s reasons like those that women get married.

6) You don’t make me play football, in the  mud, with your brothers and your dad and sister in law who is apparently much cooler than me, on Thanksgiving. Because you know that in any universe, that is never ever happening.

5) You change every single diaper when you are home to do it. See #7

4) You are pretty for a boy. But not like a pretty boy. Do people still use that term? Like boy band sort of pretty? I didn’t think any of them were “pretty” per se, well maybe JT. No not even him. He had terrible hair back then. And there was that guy with the corn rows. NOT PRETTY. Oh sorry, I meant to say…you are a hot piece. That’s better than pretty I guess.

3) You fully support my dream to be the most fashionable, cat shelter owning, stage actress, writer, boss of everything, pop star. Like that one time just for a *test* I told you that I was going to audition for American Idol and you were like, ok I’ll be there. And that right there is why all of those bad bad singers think they are good.

2) You think my MSPaint drawings are brilliant.(yes that my #2 reason and they are in order)

1) You are *the* best dad on the planet to our boy. I read somewhere that you should only marry a man that you would want your son to grow up and be exactly like. Mission accomplished. I hope that G is as generous, thoughtful, and loving as you as he grows up. Maybe one day he’ll even learn how to tell a good B joke.  i.e. The cats think that is a purrrfect idea.

 

I love you B. For those 10 reasons and 10 jillion more.

Happy Anniversary,

Love me and the internet.

Happy Anniversary! Love reading stuff like this. Hope you were able to get a babysitter and stay out or up past 9. Ha, I felt like a veteran MODG reader when I saw this post and thought back to that rival bridal drama on the blog from the Pre-G days :)

Perfect reasons to love somebody. Killing bugs is one of only 3 tasks on my fiance’s chore list. Happy 5th anniversary MODG & B! Hope you have a great day!

Maybe B could teach a diaper changing class to other husbands… Whenever I try to trick my husband into changing a poo diaper, he calls me in and claims “I’m just not prepared for this… You do it so much better”. Right. Oh, and when B is done teaching that, he maybe could mention the part about sleeping in the guest room on the gassy nights. A book of matches only goes so far. Congrats on 5 years! The next 5 will be even better!

I love this. It’s my first time commenting, I’ve been reading your blog for about a month. Currently cooking my own child, and that brought me here.

But I love seeing couples that don’t just tolerate each other. And I think JT also had cornrows at one point. So you may just be thinking of JT twice. But he had enough bad hair to warrant that.

Absolutely love your blog and all the poop talk. It’s my favorite.

OK…I totally just teared up on #1! I don’t have any kids yet but my bf is {….}<–this close to paying off an e-ring for me so sometime within the next year or so I will be getting married. This post just made me think about all the reasons why I love him (#7 is definitely part of that. Hello? Cleaning the toilet?) and I think you are absolutely right…I think you should marry a man who you want your son to grow up like and I can honestly say that about my bf. I hope you two have a very happy anniversary! :D

I’m super happy for you and all don’t get me wrong. I totally hope you are on a sexy anniversary trip or something to that effect but…BUT BUT BUT…I need some more hilarious blog to read! I’m dying at work without it! Without your outrageous and contagious (I rhymed) humor my boss is like 500 gajillion times more annoying to me. I mean I’m __ that close to needing retail therapy after work (yes this is a regular symptom of my boss and yes he does cause symptoms) already this week and it’s only Tuesday….and I’m broke!
