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.
The internet psychic says you would like this too:









Hi I’m MODG. But you can call me MODG. You say it like Modg, like a Grandma name. Not like M.O.D.G. That’s a lot of syllables and I don’t have that kind of time.

This made me smile. Happy almost anniversary, MODG + B! Also, that picture is adorable and made me want to cry.
super love this. and congrats! marriage is a wonderful thing-I love that you guys still rock eachother’s socks off!
Beyond sweet. Congrats on making it longer than most Hollywood marriages .. including Britney’s .. and Christina’s .. and so on.
Cutest.Post.Ever!!
Awww! Congrats on the Anniversary!
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!
Congrats!! So cute….also, pretty sure you got the quote in #1 from pinterest…but don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me
Awww so cute! We love B, too!! Happy Anniversary.
#1 made me tear up a little! But maybe it is all this wine I’ve been drinking.
Aww, how sweeeet! Happy Anniversary!
That is easily the best picture ever! Happy anniversary!
you know how just before you cry, you get tears in your eyes and your nostrils flare a bit?
totally happened!!
How fun! Congrats on five big years! Marriage is a big deal, for reals.
awww. too sweet. yay for you and b – 5 years! that’s awesome.
Aaahhhh! I loved this post. Happy Anniversary guys!
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.
love this list! Happy Anniversary to you both!!!
I can’t for my 5th year… I am going to “borrow” this and put it in a card. No seriously- very awesome. Thanks for sharing with us.
I’m 99% sure we have the same husband!
So sweet!! Congrats on 5 years!
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!
so sweet – happy anniversary!
Love the post, and the stunning wedding picture! Have you ever shared any other pictures from your wedding??
I love that the picture you chose to feature is him kissing *you* and doesn’t even show his face.
You BITCH. That made me cry. Happy Anniversary.
Oh and Gap has the vagina shorts in miniature pattern.
that was a great list. also, this is completely unrelated, but is suri related, which i think makes it ok. you should check this out: http://surisburnbook.tumblr.com/. hopefully you haven’t already heard of it and i made your day.
A belated Happy Anniversary to you both. Hope you had a super awesome day
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!
This is the best anniversary post I’ve ever read! I was laughing out loud or (lol’ing) by the end of #9 and it just kept getting better and better! Congratulations!!
Love this. Sooo sweet without me needing to be all “ohhhh goood for you…” LOL And then at the end, I really almost cried. Happy tears for you.
