To the Greatest Husband in the World

Recently I had a birthday that happened to fall on Sunday. Because of this Andrew and I decided to go out to eat on Saturday night to one of my favorite places in the world, Macaroni Grill. I had an abundant Christmas, that included a bread maker (thank you craigslist) and a new sewing machine, so I told Andrew all I wanted for my birthday was to go out to dinner and a "love note" from him. I expected nothing more and nothing less. Well Sunday morning rolled around and when I woke up Andrew brought me breakfast in bed, which included a bowl of honey bunches of oats (I'm addicted to cold cereal), a banana, a glass of OJ, and my vitamins. When we got home from church he said he wanted to make dinner for me so after a nap I taught Andrew how to bake a potato and we had a wonderful dinner, but that was not all. While I was taking my nap Andrew made a birthday cake for me! How thoughtful! But that was not the end. Andrew cleaned up a pile of school papers that has been on the floor for quite some time. He knows how much it would mean to me if it was cleaned up so he did it! He did everything for me that day. He wouldn't let me lift a finger. He even went the whole day without tickling me (I Hate being tickled, but I'm convinced it is one of Andrew's favorite pastimes). I did get my love note, but so much more! I couldn't ask for a better husband! How blessed and lucky I am! I love you Andrew!!!

The "blog title" battle continues...

So, in case if ya all haven't noticed our blog title changes quite frequently. Andrew and I have been having an ongoing battle about what the title of our family blog should be. I feel as though we should have a "normal" blog title such as "The Rudolphs". Andrew thinks that is "boring". Well , the problem occurs when the other person is not around and the blog title gets changed. It started out as "Radical Adventures in Rudolph Land" (not my favorite) and then changed to something like "Rudolph Family" (great!) and then it changed to "The Rudolphs: Join us in our quest for world domination" (what does that mean?!?). Between all of this I try to convince Andrew that "The Rudolphs" is a completely acceptable title but to no avail. I then changed it to "The Rudolphs: the happiest family on earth" (cheesy I know, but I knew Andrew wouldn't argue with it). That was the title until about a week ago when Andrew got the guts to change it yet another time. This time it was, "The Rudolphs: Yes we get more presents because of our name". This morning when I checked our blog Andrew had altered the title to "The Rudolphs: Join us on our AMAZING journey". So as you can see I have changed it to "The Rudolph Family". We'll see if it sticks.
