This is a special little note for my Auntie Terri - who I love very much! Seeing as I love lists, I will make a top ten list of the reasons why she is oh-so-fabulous:
1) She is ridiculously TALENTED - she's practically a professional gift wrapper, interior designer, chef, hostess, photographer, and fitness queen. 2) She is generous to a fault (not that that would be a fault) and will do anything for the people she loves. 3) She always makes sure you are comfy and cozy while curled up and watching CSI or some other Thursday night TV indulgence. 4) She makes Rasberry Jam WITHOUT SEEDS. No, I'm not bluffing. It'll change your life. 5) Her hugs (including UG+AT sandwich hugs) make you feel simultaneously squished and completely loved all in one moment. 6) She always remembers the little details about my life that I share with her - no matter how seemingly insignificant - which lets me know that she cares about even the small things in my life! 7) She married one of my very favourite people EVER - the first person to make me laugh when I was a baby - my Uncle Guy! 8) She always smells pretty and fresh - which you appreciate more during the hugging. 9) Her organizational skills and anti-pack-rat mentality are inspiring! 10) the number one reason? SHE READS MY BLOG!!! haha... no, not the number one reason, but still a good one!
I love my Auntie Ter because she makes me feel SO special and adored - Just as she is by so many! Thanks for being a wonderful Auntie. XOXOX Whitters

To my best friend and true love....and fantastic Husband :)
Here are a list of reasons why I love you more today than our wedding day:
1) You laugh at all (well, almost all) of my lame jokes. Even when I'm laughing at them by myself, you will atleast laugh at me for that.... 2) You always take the garbage out. I hate garbage. 3) You tell me I look beautiful even in times when most of the free world would rightfully disagree. 4) You have yet to kill me for our Life Insurance. Thanks. 5) You are a really good free-style rapper....and Journey singer/duet partner. 6) You look good in 'Coach Hines' short-shorts. Dang good. 7) You share in my Friends/Office/ Friday Night Lights obsession, and will even discuss the Bachelorette with me after even the most ridiculous of episodes. 8) You are never jealous when I want to spend time or talk with my girlfriends, and you always indulge me when I feel homesick for my family. 9) You never get upset when I wake you up in the middle of the night to make sure I make it down the dark hallway to the bathroom okay (it's perfectly normal for an adult woman to be afraid of the dark...) 10) You love me, even when I'm unloveable.
I married a genuine, soft-hearted, kind, capable, motivated, and handsome man of great character....and I couldn't be happier.
