Love is... laughing

"Live life hysterically, and at the top of your lungs" - Ray Bradbury

I love that quote. I try to live that way, although sometimes I do fall short. Love really is laughing though. Being able to laugh at the situations you find yourself in, and the things that come your way, and just being about to laugh with each other at just about anything. Ty does a really great job at helping me laugh, even if it's not always on purpose.
My puppy makes me laugh. In case you're curious, I believe in reincarnation because my little boy is Napoleon reincarnated. So far, Napoleon is not doing so well this second time around. Cougar(my dog) is so spoiled that I am almost embarrassed. He refuses to eat unless my parents sprinkle grated cheese on top of his breakfast. He sun bathes on the lounge chair my parents bought. He has his own queen sized bed and barks at anyone that thinks they're going to share it with him. He shares with no one and does not come when he is called. He get mad if you don't share some of your food and vehemently refuses to let you trim his nails. But he is so peculiar he makes me laugh, and at the end of the day... he really does love you even though he's a diva.
Also... youtube makes me laugh. Tyler and I have had many a youtube sessions just because it is a wonderful pick me up. If you are ever having a down day... try searching one of these on youtube.

laughing baby (it's titled "hahaha")

I know I am missing a lot... but those are the basics. Also, failblog.com is another way to boost your spirits.

Love is... getting to know each other!

I found this little questionnaire, and I really liked it. So today, I will fill it out and tomorrow, Tyler will fill it out (with some coercion). Perhaps that will help you get to know us a little better, on the flip side maybe you could fill it out! Because as much as I like writing about myself, I like reading about people more!

If I were a day of the week, I’d be Friday.
If I were a time of day, I’d be sunrise.
If I were a sea animal, I’d be a dolphin.
If I were a direction, I’d be North.
If I were a gemstone, I’d be a yellow sapphire.
If I were a tree, I’d be a maple tree.
If I were a tool, I’d be a paintbrush.
If I were a flower, I’d be an anemone.
If I were a kind of weather, I’d be spring rain.
If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a piano.
If i were a color, I’d be yellow.

This is the post it note Tyler left for me on the fridge


Just kidding... we actually had a pretty entertaining evening (on Saturday). He got me some very pretty flowers and a new makeup brush! He remembered the style number and brand and everything. We drank grape juice from wine glasses, got some Chinese take out, and watched Hannibal and some episodes of the T.V. show Bones. Isn't that what everyone does?
I hope so. And I hope you all had as much fun as we did.
P.S. we really did watch Hannibal
P.P.S. I chose it!

Love is... surrender


"Men and Women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their visions, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace."
- Ezra Taft Benson
