Neat list...you two are an awesome couple!
You both have great lists! I have a 'themed' Thanks Tank this week, too. Hop on over when you get the chance - and Happy 35th to Seth!
Those are so great! It's hard to be thankful for trying to sleep through snoring some nights {i get to hear it in both ears...thanks to Emily getting in our bed almost every night!}
But if I didn't have that snoring...I wouldn't have them! Love this list!!!
I love this idea. Great job. I was cracking up over number 7...the coffee one.
What is wrong with orange? Did I miss something.
The it just slipped out was hysterical too. LOL
I loved your list today. This was different and very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Heehee, I find humor in the fact that you made a list of things you have to SUFFER through on your husband's birthday! Especially since most of the list seems rather tongue-in-cheek.
It's been great getting to know you these past months, I have enjoyed your kids so much! You and Seth are doing a great job, and I admire you both!
Loved this list this week, Jane Anne.
Happy Birthday to Seth!
You're a good woman to let that orange into your household . . . though I can't understand how you lived where you grew up and didn't bleed orange yourself. ; )
It was hard to do for me only living there seven years, and I swore I'd NEVER wear orange. Here I sit today, still owning a UT sweatshirt in my closet. Ha!
awesome thanks tank list!!!! i don't know that i've ever known a better couple suited for each other!!! you guys rock!!!!!
Great list!
I mentioned REK in my latest post, too, but from a different perspective! :)
Great list, sounds like my guy might have somethings in common with your birthday boy.
Happy birthday to your hubby! He's 35?!!! Still a baby! He's got a loooooong way to go to catch up with my hubby! LOL
I can relate to so many of these:
1, 11, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 29 (surup), 33, and 35!!!
Hope your holiday weekend is a great one. :o)
Sneakymomma Jill- You and your husband are welcome at my house anytime!
Hey Jane. So glad you came over to visit me and the five moms today. I'm meeting so many great people with these ladies. Love the list. Sometimes I take the little things for granted. Thanks for reminding me that even the little things of everyday life should be treasured. I look forward to getting to know you.
Take care,
~Miti
What a fun list! I too have seen way too many wrestle events in my living room and living with 3 boys, we have lots of bodily functions exploding around here too! Happy Birthday to you hubby!
