5.  We had the church booked before his parents knew we were getting married.

6. We gave been married for 12 years now.

6.  I am 5′2″.

7. My husband is 6′6″.

8.  When my husband first met me he thought I was “a little weird.”

9.  I told him he was wrong.  I am not a “little weird.”  I am a lot weird. )

10. I am a synesthete

11.  I tried to dig a pool when I was about 5 with my neighbor/friend.

12. We were going to line it with contact paper.

13.  We dug about a 2 foot hole in my neighbor’s backyard.

26. My grandparents used to live on a mountain in Arkansas.

27. We sent a cat to live up there that could not be house broken – or at least that is the story I was told

28.  He lived a long time up on the mountain.

29.  When he died, my granny scooped him up in shovel and pitched him down the side of the mountain.

35.  I regret it.

36.  I changed as a person after and because of that relationship.
