Hey!

I'm back!

And less emotional! (Ha just kidding.)

There is a relatively unimportant but fun life event coming up and I need to give credit where credit is due because let me explain.

Chris is a handyman of the most attractive variety in that he literally can fix anything. Anything. I cannot fix everything and I also don't read car mechanic manuals in my free time. And I also can't fathom having that kind of knowledge just hanging out in my brain just in case.

That being said, sometimes I'm a hater when it comes to the many cars Chris has owned, including the one he has now (Appropriately named Humphrey). It (along with the others he's had) gets him from point A to point B, but the thought of driving babies around town in it makes my stomach feel not awesome. Or maybe that's just the pregnancy. EITHER WAY-I have failed as a wife to admire the fact that cars, such as this one, cost him little to no money (we bought that bad boy for 400 dollars) and for pre-children they have been super economical and it's a working car, you selfish self! Seriously. It works perfectly fine. Just a little rough around the edges.

Anyway, the time has come, because we are with child, and we have happened on a car, graciously offered to us from a family member (the best kind!) and we are picking it up next week. Humphrey will be leaving us and Chris will be sad.

That being said-if you know anybody who needs a working car that will get them places but might not be the most luxurious OR fit for children, please let us know! It served its purpose for us and it most definitely has life left in it. It's also really good on gas mileage. It has never broken down on us--Chris just does the normal maintenance you're supposed to do on any car. It's a dark red '94 Mazda Protege (manual.)

PRICE: free, besides a willingness to come pick it up. (Won't be ready for a month or so!)

Spread the word! And get in touch with me/him if you find someone.

I don't like writing posts like this but sometimes I feel they are beneficial. 

I didn't write an anniversary post because my man surprised me with a trip to Savannah which was full of food and one of my favorite plays put on by SCAD and other funtivities. Then obviously we announced our baby things and I didn't want my obsessive  totally normal love for Chris to fall through the cracks.

I'm telling you. It just gets better and better. It's only been three years and we have grown exponentially..especially in the past year--but definitely over the entire course of our relationship. Looking back on three years of marriage gets me so pumped for the months and years to come.

I've written about marriage frequently and those posts can be found all over the place on here, so instead of talk about all the reasons why I'm thankful for my hot man nurse husband, we're going to celebrate by telling you some stuff you may not know about us. That way you can celebrate with us and also learn something new. See! This blog is educational.

Fact 1:
About 6 months into marriage, Chris and I switched sides of the bed. I don't remember why.

Fact 2:
Our first apartment was under 500 square feet and our queen size bed barely fit into our one bedroom. If we both stood in the kitchen we were forced to be touching. (I didn't mind.)

Fact 3:
We have the same top two love languages, they are just reversed in order.

Fact 4:
Chris cooks breakfast for me every morning (that he isn't already at work.) And we mostly cook dinner together. We don't use recipes because we like to make stuff up and hope it tastes delicious.

Fact 5:
We go to bed consistently before 10pm, unless we're out and about with friends.

Fact 6:
If we go out to dinner, we're 99% likely to be found eating sushi or mexican.

Fact 7:
Sometimes before bed we watch a plethora of weird cat videos on youtube.

Fact 8:
When Chris wants a more intense squat workout, he holds me piggy back style on his back until he's too tired to squat anymore.

Fact 9:
Chris is a perfectionist. Jordan is not. But it totally works.

Fact 10:
Nacho Libre is frequently quoted in the Tate Household, also quoted frequently: Julian Smith/Jeffery Dallas, Arturo Trejo.

Fact 11:
We rarely ever eat candy (we do love dark chocolate, though)..but about once every six months we get a craving for sour gummies...and only sour gummies.

Fact 12:
Sometimes our evenings revolve around trying to annoy our cat, Pax. (Paximus Maximus, Paxy, Paxynug, Paxypoo, Paxativelaxative)

Fact 13:
Chris' dream is to be able to incorporate ziplining into our day to day lives. Obsession.

Fact 14:
Cheese. That is all.

Fact 15:
On that note, Chris and I are both lactose intolerant (me worse than him), but most people don't know that most cheddar cheese is naturally lactose free (or at least close.) Softer cheeses (brie, mozzarella, etc), milk, and ice cream are the real culprits.

Fact 16:
Chris nurses me back to health anytime I'm sick--he tracks my fluid intake and makes up the craziest natural home remedies for me to drink/eat.

Fact 17:
Chris always dreamt of being able to give his spouse footrubs for some reason. But he married the most ticklish human on the planet and therefore footrubs sound like the worst form of torture ever to me. He still tries. Even my shins and elbows are ticklish.

Fact 18:
Chris refrains from asking me anything before I've had a few sips of coffee because he is a good, good man.

Fact 19:
We have a MILLION BAJILLION nicknames for each other and they are all equally weird. I don't ever know where they come from.

Fact 20:
We love to play would you rather but we can't really play anymore because we always know how the other one is going to answer....so now we need a new game. Suggestions?

There are too many words and not enough words and this is just going to be one crazy journey until Christmas.
