April 26

Today I stayed home from work and Jack and I went to the doctor since we were both sick. After that, we went to Jason's Deli to pick up soup and Wendy's to pick up a Frosty. On the way home, I tried to take my antibiotic pill with the little bit of my melted Frosty, overturned it, and dumped the whole thing between my seat and the console. Instead of getting mad, Jack made fun of me and helped me clean it up. It's good to be married to him.

Today, my husband turned 31 years old. I called him after work and told him that I was grilling burgers and that he was welcome to bring some friends over to celebrate his birthday after work. I figured he’d bring one or two people from his staff, but he doesn’t get home from work until after 10 pm so I figured he wouldn’t invite many people. I got a call a little while later. “Um, 10 people are coming over. Is that okay?” Uh... that wasn’t really what I was expecting, but it’s not like I was going to tell him “no” on his birthday. “Sure!” I replied, “Whoever you want, sweetheart.” And so I headed to the grocery store and got more meat. And more buns. And more beer. And at 10:30 pm on a weeknight, everyone arrived and the party began. And Jack had a blast. Which made it all worth it.

April 10

Tonight, Jack had a Parent's Night Out, so I brought him coffee before Saxby's closed. I planned on hanging out with him until he could leave, but the kids were so crazy that I couldn't stand being there longer than 5 minutes. So I left.

April 7

Today I gave Maggie a big bone and she was so excited. Then Jack tried to take it away from her. She didn't like that.

April 4

Today was Easter! Yay, Jesus. After church, we went over to my parents' house for a little while, then we came back later for dinner. It was a pretty nice day!

April 3

Today was so beautiful! Jack had the entire day off because of Easter weekend, so we spent the day shopping together and enjoying the beautiful weather. For lunch, we ate out on the patio of a Potbelly Sandwich shop, which we both love.

April 2

Jack wanted Cici's Pizza tonight, and being the [really, really, really, really] good wife I am, I said we could go. That place is pretty disgusting, but every so often Jack just really craves it, so I deal with the heartburn and self-loathing for him.

April 1

OUR NEW FREEBIRDS IS FINALLY OPEN!! Freebirds is our very favorite burrito place from our college town, so we were ridiculously excited about its grand opening here. I had heartburn all night, but it was totally worth it.

March 29

Today I tried my hand at making sushi rolls. I'm not going to lie, they turned out a little rough. They tasted okay, but I had a hard time rolling them tightly enough, so they pretty much just fell apart. Luckily for me, Jack has pretty low standards is a really good sport about food.

March 26

 Jack had to go to Vegas yesterday for a taekwondo midterm, but unfortunately for him, he didn't get to stay there very long. He got home tonight. And I was glad to have him back.

March 21

This morning Jack and I got up and went to have breakfast downstairs in the hotel as a part of the "romance package" that Jack got at the hotel. It was so nice to have a hot breakfast that I didn't have to cook!

March 20

Today, Jack came home from work and told me to pack a bag. It's our anniversary weekend, and he surprised me with a night at a fancy new hotel in town. It was so nice to get away from our dirty house, go out for a fancy dinner at Fogo de Chao, and enjoy the evening together away from home. It even started snowing tonight, and so I stayed up late watching the snow from our seventh-story suite after Jack fell asleep. That husband of mine is pretty romantic.

March 19

Today was our friend Chris's birthday, so we met up with him and a lot of other friends for dinner at a German restaurant nearby. Jack was in heaven. He loves German food.

March 5

Today, when Jack got home, he told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands. I did, and he placed these in my hands as an early birthday present. He knew I needed more and got them for me. What a sweetheart.

March 3

Three years ago today, Jack gave me this ring and asked me to be his wife. And I'm still really glad I said "yes."

March 1

Today I made my first Pioneer Woman recipe - her "perfect pot roast." Jack absolutely loved it. He used the onions to make what he called "pot roast burritos." He was pretty excited about that.

February 28

Today was one of those simple, perfect days. Jack and I got some coffee (I guess the lady misheard my name!) and then shopped for a little while together. Later, we cooked dinner together and then just spent the evening watching TV and relaxing.

February 26

Today we drove to Houston for a tournament, and Jack competed this evening in forms, weapons, and sparring. He won first in forms and weapons and third in sparring. I am so proud to be his wife.

February 23

Tonight was Jack's school's color belt testing, and afterward, they usually go out to dinner. Tonight I joined them and had a lovely meal and some nice conversation with Jack and the students.

Tonight I had a video shoot with Owen and Sarah after work, so Jack actually got home before I did and started cooking dinner for me! It was so nice to come home to dinner already being made. I have the best husband.
