We danced, we laughed, then we left.
We headed back to my parents house to chill out and I was to receive an amateur haircut. While we were there, the gentleman with the sheets called to see where we were and if he could come. this was odd because he was not only one of the hosts of the toga party, he was the DJ, and he would clearly be neglecting his duties.
In the end, he came, we met, fell in love, got married and had a wiggle bear.
This however might not have been if he knew exactly what he was getting in to.
In honor of this anniversary, I would like to give a partial list of things I probably should have told Ben, in the spirit of honesty, that might have kept him from marrying me.
I know I already showed you this picture, but it's so much better right side up. I need to find a baby photo contest.
- I am a bit of a money nazi, to the extent that you might think I lived through the Great Depression
- I am an everyday lazy
- I might eat sandwiches for every meal if it were up to me
- While I "enjoy" sports, it's more of a figurative enjoyment, not a "stay on the couch all day Saturday to watch teams that I have no investment in" kind of enjoyment
- I will not do my hair unless we are meeting a) The Prophet b) The President and/or c) TAMN
- I hate being cold, hungry, tired and wet - and I will get very grumpy if I am any of those
- Fast Sundays are the worst (see above)
- I will demand all of your spare time and energy
- I believe in cross-contamination of laundry
- I will recite every happening of my day and expect you to remember it, then get upset when you neglect to tell me you invited someone over for dinner
- I had never tried sushi, and had never intended to before we met

That was really cute. Here are some things Toni should have known about me:
• "Impulse buy" is pretty much my middle name.
• I will want to be productive when you want to be lazy, and lazy when you want to be productive.
• I like to eat and eat and eat and eat. Meals should be prepared as if to serve 4-6.
• When I say that I "enjoy" sports, I mean that I have been known to watch high school football. . . in Texas. . . on ESPN. . . on a Friday night.
• I will not let you mess up my hair unless we're done with social engagements for the day. It's my one little metrosexual need.
• I hate being hot or full and going to bed before 11:00 PM.
• I will make all kinds of plans without telling you, and then spring them on you five minutes beforehand; "I didn't tell you that 15 of my friends are coming over and that you should prepare a turkey dinner?"
• I can't get enough sushi. In fact, what are you doing for lunch today?
As for our marriage, I'm still all-in if you are.
what is cross-contamination of laundry? Is that how you get pregnant?
Crap. Jimmy and I washed our pants in the same load.
And y'all were pretty much destined. And mine and Haley's haircut was beyond amateur.
I love you both.
cross contamination of laundry means if you wear a pair of pants, but they aren't dirty enough to launder, they can't go back in the drawer or closet with all the legitimately clean clothes or they will all get dirty, so the pants have to stay on the bed or hung from the closet door.
This is especially true when you are on a trip and packing for home. you either have to have a separate bag or suitcase for dirty things or else you will have to launder EVERYTHING
I would do my hair for TAMN too! I like Bentoni. I'm glad I know you both.
This is quite possibly, my favorite post/comment from you two. The honesty is too much.
I thought cross-contamination is when you wash your clothes in the same machine, at the same time as Ben's. My roommates are that way, but if you're married, it doesn't make sense. So, I'm glad you clarified.
