The last twenty two items for my 100 things meme...

79. My husband is my dream come true. We have been together for 7 years, (married for over 4 of those years.) He is the kindest person I've ever met. Every single day I feel grateful for his love.
80. I knew I was going to marry Dave after dating him for only two months. I told him I loved him after only dating him for a month.
81. We are both cat lovers and used to have three cats. Now two of those cats are with Dave's parents. One went missing.
82. Dave and I dated for three years before getting married. We decided NOT to live together prior to getting married. With the exception of our parents, everyone else in our community of friends were very vocal about what a terrible mistake we were making by not co-habitating prior to wedlock.
83. Prior to our relationship both Dave and I had been in serious relationships that ended poorly. We had each been living with our respective partners believing that the next step was marriage.
84. People often remark at how obvious our love is for each other.
85. Dave is very sensitive too. He does an excellent job at communicating his feelings to me. We talk about everything.
86. When we got married Dave promised me that I would never have to wash the dishes again. With only occasionally having to do them myself during Annabelle's first year, he has kept his promise.
87. My teeth are perfectly straight. I have never had braces.
88. Dave and I think that we are hilarious. We make each other laugh all day.
89. We are quite liberally minded people. (It was a stretch for Dave to actually have to vote as a Democrat in the last election.)
90. Having Annabelle has made me a more tolerant, friendlier, and happier person. I smile more often because of her.
91. My favorite color is green. I love tone on tone color combinations.
92. My wedding cake was green. With Han Solo and Princess Leia toppers.
93. I often wish I had some sort of culture or heritage to pass on to Annabelle. But I don't.
94. I would love to adopt a baby. I don't know if this will ever happen. I would definitely adopt from China.
95. I have a twin sister. We are fraternal twins... and yes, they run in the family. When I first found out I was pregnant I figured out that I had about a 10% chance of having twins myself... and freaked out about it until my first ultrasound. (And yes, April, you are a great aunt!)

96. I am very proud of the fact that I delivered Annabelle without drugs.
97. I have a really hard time making friends. I don't have many.
98. I love linens, dishware, and paper. I don't think I could ever have too much nice stationery. And I have a thing for sheets and towels. I have three sets of dishes. Getting these for gifts will never ever get old. I could get any of these things for any gift giving/receiving occasion and always always be happy about it. (Maybe if I liked clothes as much as I liked having a nice pen I would be a better dresser.)
99. I read every single night before going to bed. If I don't read, I can't fall asleep.
100. I drink about 15-18 cups of water a day. I know without a doubt that it keeps my skin looking awesome.
