Facts About MATT:

Matt


1) Matt gets up at 8AM. Sometimes.

2) Matt has a pot of espresso every morning. A POT. Of Espresso. If he doesn't have his espresso, he growls.

3) In college, Matt's roommate parked his car outside their apartment building for 6 months. Because it wouldn't, um, do that thing that cars do. Oh yeah, drive. But the second floor balcony of the apartment looked out over the car.The twenty year old car. So after a huge party, they had an empty keg on the porch.

Which the owner of the car then threw through his windshield. Because my husband told him to.

Funniest. Scene. Ever.

But I don't have pictures.

4) And I still married him.

5) His family, when they find names they like, keep using them. Unlike my family, where we do this with cousins (Michael, Patrick, Mary), they do this with pets. I.E., Frank Llyod Rabbit #s 1-15 and Asti the Dalmation, versions 1 and 2.

6) Did I mention he's now a lawyer? I now want to be called, "Mrs. Pink Shoe, the Lawyer's Wife."

I know that makes me sound older than the 25 that I am, but... there are some sacrifices that I'm willing to make. Such as sounding older, as long as it makes clear that Matt is awesome. Because he is.

Matt is awesome, and worked very hard for his degree. I love these facts about him!

um, not that it matters, but technically your Matt can also be addressed as "Esquire". That trickles down to you as...

"Mrs. Pink Shoe, Esquire Shoe's Wife", how does that grab you?

A pot of espresso? SERIOUSLY?

Mr. Pink Shoe Esquire is lucky not to have a heart condition or an ulcer at that rate! Yikes!

You forgot to include #7 - He has fabulous taste in women. ;)

BTW, your email made me laugh and laugh (my night was pretty boring). I couldn't respond though because I secretly read it while pretending to be listening to my husband list all the reasons why we can't afford this new house.

I should've married a lawyer. ;p

Congrats to Matt, and to you. So yeah, you can now be "Mr. and Mrs. Non-Pink Running Shoes, Esquire." If I were you, I would order new stationery, pronto.

I woke up one morning to the sound of my brother and his best friend laughing hysterically and some sort of "boinging" sound.

They were jumping on the top of our spare car's roof and hood. The "boing" sound was the metal popping in and out.

Alcohol was involved. Large quantities.

1. Tell Matt congratulations!!! (You are getting closer and closer to moving to NYC so you, me, and Jane can hang out!)

2. I love that you did a list of facts about your husband. That is so cute and hilarious at the same time.
