I love you because...

Happy Birthday Benjamin! Here is a blog post just for you, in honor of your day of birth.

I love you because...

you are always a gentleman!
You never fail to open the car door, you always walk on the outside of the sidewalk in case a car jumps the curb, and you always offer to carry whatever I might have in my hand.


of your muscles.
Woo!

of your creativity.
Leave it to you to turn some everyday thing into an opportunity to get a laugh. You make things interesting and you are always a blast to be around! Seriously...a life jacket diaper?


you would do anything for me.
If I didn't want to walk, you'd give me a piggy back ride. If I was scared of a spider and so were you, you'd squish it for me. If it was -2 degrees out and I need gas in my car, you would put on your thermals and go fill it up for me. If I puked in the hallway, you would clean it up without hesitating and then watch Blue Crush to make me feel better. And if I want you to wear plaid shorts, even though you don't really like them, you will. :)


you defend my honor.


you take the fish off for me if I don't have gloves.


you are the funniest person I know.
You are always making me laugh! Laughter makes everything better and I love your sense of humor!

you have a heart for Christ!
I can't tell you enough how blessed I am to have married such a wonderful, God fearing husband. You are a great leader with a wonderful heart. It's refreshing!

I could keep going, but I will spare the ones who might be gagging right now. :)
Happy Birthday Benjamin... you are loved!

This Attacked Me Last Night...

I was walking through the grocery store when I heard a pop and then felt something hit my leg. I thought being shot would hurt more, so I knew that probably wasn't what happened. I looked down to see a gooey biscuit laying by my leg, another one a few inches away, and the canister still up on the shelf. It some how popped open on its own when I walked by and hit me in the leg! What the heck are the chances of that?

I of course looked around to see what other people thought of this crazy coincidence, and there wasn't a single soul by me! WHAT! Are you kidding me? Somebody had to have seen that! So instead of laughing with a complete stranger I had to settle with just taking a picture. I then continued with my shopping. Woops, maybe I should have told somebody so they could clean it up. My bad.

I sent Ben the picture and told him the story...he asked me if I wanted him to call Constantine. HA!

My conclusions...
Biscuits = Dangerous
Pillsbury Dough Boy = Possessed
Flying Solo at the Grocery Store = Disappointment

Amazing Beatbox Kid. Wow.

Frightened Rabbit

I never thought I would find myself liking a band called Frightened Rabbit, but I really enjoy this song. They have another song called The Modern Leper that is also good. (The video is the music only...)

Friday's Question of the Day

What 5 Movies Should Everyone See?

Today We Salute You...Mrs. Umbrella

I had Mr. Umbrella at first, but I think that Umbrella sounds more like a female...a married female. I figured I'd do today's blog on umbrellas since 1. It's Spring and 2. It is dreary and supposed to rain. Makes sense right?

Sword Handle Umbrellas

Badonkadonk Umbrella (since it has a larger backside)

This is the handle of the Music Umbrella. You turn it to the right to skip to the next song and turn the handle to the left to go back to a previous song.

Pitter Patter Umbrella. I just thought it was cute.

Brass Knuckle Umbrella. In case you get into a gang fight on your way to the car.

Illuminate Umbrella. It lights up.

Umbrella in a Can.

Cupids Umbrella. Aww I think they are in love.

The Umbrella Cane

The Shield Umbrella. Doesn't she look stylish?

The Full Umbrella. Go ahead and laugh, but this is genius.

The Cloud Umbrella

The Bottle Cap Umbrella

Now that I've typed Umbrella like a hundred times I think I'm sick of it. Want to know something? I don't even own an umbrella. I use my jacket or once I had a towel in my car so I held that over my head. There was even a time at camp that me and Ben cut a hole into a trash bag and wore it like a parka. It stopped raining as soon as we ran to where we needed to go. Ha.

I need an umbrella.

Mom Jeans

This should brighten anybody's day... unless you just realized that you wear mom jeans. :)
This is an oldie but a goodie.



Sorry about the short commercial you have to view before watching.
