He liked me in highschool, but I thought he was too goofy. We started dating our second year in college. We were married August 14th 2004 and had our little Madison July 30th 2008. Colin completed our family on October 11th, 2011.

Garbage


Madison eatting a bannana



OK, so people who know me really well should know that I am a nut about recycling. I am so bad that when I was little I used to make Mic dig cans out of the garbage that she would throw away because she didn't want to rinse them out. I have carried this into my adult life. At my old job I would collect all of my recyclables from the day and everybody elses and I would bring them home to recycle. I think it should be a law that all business's should have to recycle. Anyways, I am super excited because we are getting a 95 gallon recycling bin this summer!!!! We always have so much recycling that it is over flowing and now I will have this gigantic cart!!!!! I am so excited.


I am a neat/tidy freak. I organize and clean constantly. I wash the dogs beds and their toys all the time. I clean the fridge and reorganize it about once a month, I vacuum the couch's, I wipe down my washer and dryer, and once a year I wash out my inside garbage cans. One of my biggest pet peeves about JR is how NASTY our outside garbage cans are. I mean they are nasty. He doesn't mulch our grass (another pet peeve) and he throws our dog poop straight into the garbage can (at least he picks it up, I guess). The thing is that when it rains (we've lost our lids) and it's 105 degrees in the summer it turns into a runy can of grass/poop soup. IT SMELLS!!!! When I was 8 months pregnant I had put the garbage cans up, but they leak and the garbage men spill. Anyways, there was a small pile of grass/poop left on the side walk and I wasn't going to pick it up. JR got home and the first thing he said to me was why is there a mess on the side walk? THE FIRST THING HE SAID!!! I was so mad I went out there to pick it up and there were maggots!!! I refuse to have anything to do with those garbage cans. This brings me to the second part of this rant. We are also getting a 95 gallon garbage cart!!!!! Yeah, I have been wanting to buy one forever, but JR won't shell out the money for it. Now he has no choice. It's like Christmas in the summer!!!!
