our fifty.

I don't know where I found this picture, and I'm sorry... Because I really like it and want to tell you where you can find it.

I saw this on Naomi’s blog a while back and thought it would make a fun Valentine’s Day post. And with the heart-y holiday just around the corner, I figured I’d go ahead and take a stab at 50 things about us…

1. We’ve been married for nearly 3 months and love it.

2. We both think our wedding was hands down the best one we’ve ever been to.

3. We have a stuffed animal named Jonas who we pretend is our dog.

4. She loves orange juice with pulp.

5. He would rather have water (no ice, thank you very much).

6. She is freezing cold all the time.

7. He’d rather not turn the heat on (the electric bill, you know).

8. We made a new year’s resolution to get up earlier each morning. We’re half-way succeeding.
9. He’s in law school and ready to be working.
10. She’s working and is ready to be back in school.
11. He wakes up nice and groggy each morning.
12. She hits the ground running (albeit some days a little slowly).
13. He flosses every morning and night and brushes three minutes in front of the sink.
14. She has an electric toothbrush with a timer just so she’ll remember to brush for three minutes. And she can’t stand still while brushing.

16. He thinks she can be whatever she wants to be.
17. She decorated the apartment.

26. He satisfies them.
27. She loves Coke (not Diet. Gross.).
28. He prefers Mountain Dew.
29. We both are resolved to drink more water.
