Eight Reasons

Dear Nerd, today is rather a big deal.  I've been blogging for a while now, and don't want to risk repeating myself on this all-important day.  Some searching in the archives revealed that I used this day in 2009 to write a lengthy post about how we met and (eventually) fell in love.  In 2010, I shared a nerdy poem.  The following year, I reminisced on the things that have happened to us in the seven years we had been married (mostly kids - everything else seems to have been eclipsed by them!)

And here we are -anniversary number eight!  Happy Anniversary, Babe!  In honor of such an auspicious occasion, I am giving you eight reasons why our marriage works.  I couldn't think of a more fitting medium than stick figures, drawn with Sharpie.  And so, without further ado, why WE WORK:

 (yeah, I know, I get a little wordy.  Okay, a lot wordy.  just keep pretending that you're listening and we're good.)

 (true story)

(all while watching The Biggest Loser, no doubt)
