Mandy and I celebrate our first anniversary this weekend.  Holy cow!  What a difference a year can make.

Here are five random things I learned this year:

1. "Absolutely!" is the best answer to any question from your spouse. 
2. Children are a blessing.  An expensive, sleep-depriving blessing.
3. Life can exist without a daily dose of ESPN.
4. I should buy stock in any company that makes diapers or baby formula.
5. I never thought getting someone else to burp would play such a major part in my day.

  For all you moms, Happy Mother's Day!  Enjoy your weekend, stay safe, and stay compliant.
