I love you too babe!
This is great.
Very nice. Just have to say I thought it was hilarious that he said he wanted to be a chief if he wasn't a vet. Since the next item was about food, I guessed you meant chef, but I just laughed when I thought it was chief.
This is awesome, Tarah.
Tarah - I really enjoyed reading this. Since I never met Dan it was fun to get to know him. It's so wierd how we can spend so much of our lives together in the same ward and yet not know much about what our current lives are like. It sounds like he is a great fit for you and I'm happy for you. It totally cracks me up that he can't change a diaper without gagging and yet he can put his arm up a cows bum. I think he just needs some more diaper practice!
