My Husband Teaches Me

The other day Kaleb was watching Frozen, and during the song that will never die, Blake asked me if I knew what a "fractal" was.

I was doing dishes and monitoring Rachel while she rolling around all over the place and I wasn't paying all that much attention to what Blake was saying.

He told me it was a mathematical image that repeats itself infinitely. He got really excited explaining everything and even brought up youtube videos zooming in on fractal images. It really was pretty cool.

Eventually I was like "ok honey, I really gotta finish this."

Later that night I thought about it, and realished how it must have sounded. Like I was brushing him off.

So, let me say here and now : I LOVE that my husband teaches me.

He is so intelligent. and he knows the most random things about the most random things.
Almost everyday I get a new little factoid, or an explanation for something I never quite understood, but didn't ever seek clarity.

Blake, if you're reading this, I am declaring before you and the interwebs that I love your giant brain and I love when you share your knowledge with me. Thank you for teaching me and helping me grow in my understanding of this world.
I love every bit of you, you smarty pants.

Thanksgiving 2014 at Nani's

Thanksgiving was at Nani (my grandmother)'s house this year. It was wonderful and home and full of family. The best part was that my cousin and his wife had just had a little boy a week before I had Rachel. They were supposed to a month apart, but she was late and I was early so that was that!

Grandpa loves Rachel

Cousins!

There was food in there somewhere too. Mostly we had great times with great family.

Our 8th anniversary

 8 years of marriage to my wonderful husband. EIGHT YEARS! I didnt know if it would be super enjoyable, because of all the baby bloated achy ness, but it really was so much fun!

We went to Steakhouse 55 ( our Anniversary place)

We got some appetizers and Mocktails. (see my fauxhito below)

We even ran into an old friend...

It was a wonderful, adult and delicious evening.

Rainforest Cafe Date Night

We had our first date night in FOREVER!

Its was lovely. 

Altough it did take me like an hour to order and then ended up trading with Blake. Do I have the best husband or what?
