Almost Five...

In two days, Michelle and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary. I can't believe it! On the one hand it doesn't feel like it's been that long. On the other, I can't imagine life without her. Here's some random dan-and-michelle trivia:

• I flew home early from a trip to Greece to propose, and Michelle was totally surprised
• Michelle got me a ring made from Tungsten, a hypo-allergenic element used in integrated circuit technology, and one of the hardest substances on the planet (though not harder than diamond - Thanks Liz for proving it, now my ring's scarred forever!)
• Over the course of our marriage, we've lived in four different homes, gone through three jobs, and had two cute kids
• We've been in Texas for almost half our marriage
• Michelle likes my hair short - and it's a good thing, because hair longevity is just not in the cards for me
• Michelle is an amazing cook, home-maker, planner, gardener, and mommy (just to name a few)
• We look forward to date night every week
• After five years, I love Michelle more than ever!

Here's to another 50!

Grandma Beaver

Tonight Jake was laying in bed and we were talking, and he was trying to tell me about Grandma Veater, but he couldn't quite remember the name. He thought really hard, saying, "Grandma ... Grandma ... Grandma Beaver."

I don't think he realized what he'd said at first, because when I repeated it back to him he thought it was hilarious. Then he told me. "I don't know that word!"

Love you, Grandma Beaver!

I'm not creepy anymore!

So, I decided to check my blog tonight and discovered two things:

1) I haven't posted anything in over two years.
2) My picture and background were a little creepy.

I don't particularly care for either item, and so BAMM!! I just destroyed both of them in one fell swoop!

I now feel like I have control over my life like I never have before! Everything has changed! There's change in the air! People suddenly like me again! I'm handsome and wealthy (okay, just handsome)! Things are looking up!

That's all for now. I'll post something again in somewhat less than two years.
