The Academy

3 years ago today, we did this

C's parents were driving up, hence the waving.

I still like him enough to kiss him like that.

In 3 years we've found a lot of things, and lost a lot of things

We've found:

happiness

a new home

lots of nickels

an enormous hatred for ants

our first car

our favorite places to eat

lots of stuff on Craigslist

some extra junk in the trunk

that we disagree on unimportant thing

that we agree on anything that matters

Hulu

Netflix

Julia Child

life to be expensive

a best friend

love

We've lost:

hair

Our marriage rocks. I love him. Just for a tiny insight into our lives, here's a G-chat conversation we had just yesterday (I've highlighted my favorite part in red for your convenience):

me: okay cool

1:18 PM collin!!!!!! guess what!!!!!!!!!

1:19 PM Collin: what

me: okay, it's probably not as exciting to you as it is to me, but in my mind it totally warrants all those exclamation marks.

1:20 PM Collin: tell me

me: ANYWAY. There's this blog I've been stalking for months and months. It's actually even bookmarked on my browser as "cute skirt cute hair girl" and I have secretly stalked her. Never commented, NOTHING. And she just became a follower on spoiled eggs.

Collin: thats really cool!

send me the link

me: there must be a way for her to see that i follow her blog right?

the link to her blog?

1:23 PM Collin: you linked to her on your blog first?

me: nooooo

i just had her bookmarked on my browser. i did not link to her

Collin: i dont think that is trace-able

1:24 PM me: i know! this is nuts!

1:25 PM should i tell her or wait for her to say something first?

oh my gosh it feels like i'm trying to date her. holy crap this is fantastic.

1:26 PM Collin: why say something... she is just following your blog... let her follow in peace. thats what i say

unless you want to have your badge on her blog or something

me: let her follow on peace. haha

hahahahah my badge?!

lol oh my gosh

1:27 PM button honey. it's a button.

1:28 PM Collin: i think badge is more correct

just sayin

1:29 PM button is like when it says "submit"

me: lol i will be using it in a blog post

Collin: or "send"

me: hahahaha

Collin: badge, as in an affiliate badge

google it

me: no no, i get it. it's just called a button.

Collin: and i am saying that it is called a badge

1:30 PM like merit badge for girls

me: lol oh my

Collin: the more you have the better blogger you are

me: hahahaha. kinda

So there's our life in a nutshell. I get excited about random blogging friends, he does a really good job of being excited for me and finds some way to make me laugh in the mean time. I love him. Also, a very happy anniversary to my friend Tyrell and her hubs and also our friends Zach and Whitney.
