30 thoughts for 30 years.

one: he makes me smile. a lot. even when i am mad ( well a few hours after.)
two: who do you know that grew up on border town in texas and doesn't speak a word of spanish... yup that would be my boy.

three: patient.

four: he grows out his nails so he can scratch my back. he is embarrassed to show white.. but i sure do love it!

five: justin has an obsession with new (or used) t-shirts and is ALWAYS on the hunt.

six: he likes the projects i give him.. and is gearing up for a painting extravaganza.

seven: he never complains.

eight: justin always exceeds my expectations... which are pretty high.

nine: when i want to share food he always will.. and even lets me eat it all. i know he knows i feel better cos we are sharing.

ten: we get to fight over who eats more special k. i swear before i even get a bowl the box is gone! eleven: he is a true people - watcher!

twelve: i have turned him into a vegetarian and he doesn't even mind.

thirteen: loves to cuddle and watch movies on friday nights.

fourteen: justin wanted an el camino for his birthday.

fifteen: he only makes me do hang-man with our primary class and he takes care of the rest.

sixteen: justin is a dang good brownie maker.

seventeen: justin is never allowed to cut his own hair again...

eighteen: justin would wear the same outfit everyday if he could. yet he... (see nineteen)

nineteen: justin acts like a kid in candy store when shopping... he comes right home and puts on all his new goods.

twenty: the laundry is justin's baby... and he does it well. he hasn't ruined one item of clothing yet.. this i consider a great accomplishment.

twenty-one: he has prescription goggles. basket-ball goggles.

twenty-two: i call justin puppy, and he likes it.

twenty-three: he bribes me to work out.

twenty-four: justin loves music...and i mean LOVES... but refuses to sing (even in church) and plays no intsruments.

twenty-five: justin is calm... calmlikeabomb (one of his passwords)

twenty-six: justin's curls are uncontrollable... and i love them!

twenty-seven: he looks good doing push-ups.

twenty-eight: justin could sit in silence. he only talks when he has something to say. frustrating... yet endearing.

twenty-nine: justin is a smarty pants. he teaches me a lot...and he enjoys watching the history channel.

thirty: i love you justypie and i am glad you are mine. here's to thirty more years (and hopefully more.. cos 60 is not too old.)

our fish.

was found floating at the bottom of his bowl. so long regi. it's been real. a real hassle having you. i asked justin if we should get another. the reply, "no, he was too much work."

we lost our friends to the big apple!

ashley, jake and baby addy are off on an adventure in nyc. our weekends will miss them!

we celebrated jake's new job at faustina... thanks thorntons!

feeling blue.

going back to school is not so fun... a quiz and a test the second week of school. are you freaking kidding me? i haven't even gotten used to the idea that i go to school.. let alone gotten the dumb books. ummm $284 for anatomy.. i don't think so.

first day of school.

my mom wasn't there to take my picture on the front porch...

yes... i kind of have a scowl. it was cold. and i was going back to school.

twenty ten resolutions.

twenty ten is the year i aspire to...

1. go to the gym ( something that didn't happen ONCE in '09)
2. run... maybe 6 miles consecutively.
3. make at least one new recipe every week.
4. learn how to make italian pizza (in my parents new oven coming feb '10)
5. go on a fun vacation ( this is of course a very selfless desire.. i want to show justy the world)
6. cook more meat for justin.
7. buy a rug for my front room.
8. visit grandma far more often than i did in '09.
9. get into school.
10. play... a lot.

Other fun things twenty ten promises... justin turns 30, davey comes home, and i will hit my quarter century mark!
