1. Ethan James McLaughlin. Not only is he beautiful, brilliant, and bulky, he seems to think that I am the bees knees, thus the fact that he couldn't keep his hands or incredibly wet mouth off of me. Just like a man! Here's a little footage of him and his first Christmas...
2. Reuniting with great friends. Nathan and I were able to catch up with some dear friends from our time in India, the Jordans. They were truly our lifelines there and sometimes about the only thing that kept Nathan from going postal. It was fantastic to meet their new little boy as well who proudly owns a onesie that proclaims "Made in India". Great stuff.
3. Food, glorious food. Enough said.
4. Family. It's so nice to go back and be someone's daughter once in awhile, to just relax and remember what it used to feel like because it's what it still feels like when we get together.
5. Ridiculously long car trips. Okay, maybe not so much when you stretch a nine hour trip into a twelve and a half hour trip, but if the company is good somehow the hours don't feel so long.

6. The sweet smell of victory. I am honored and truly humbled to hold the distinction of being both Queen of Hearts and of Spades. Not only did I sweep in Utah, but last night I was part of a team that will go down in the annals of time. Two blind nils (one successful) and two regular nils assured Brooke and I that our names will be spoken in hushed tones over green velvet covered tables until the end of time. Brava, my ballsy friend!

You're favorite things are a treat to read. How scrumptious is that little nephew? First Christmases are spectacularly fun to observe. I'm so glad you & Nathan were able to enjoy a lonh family get together over the holidays.
As for being one of the Ballsy Two. I went shopping for Wranglers today with an extra wide crotch. Can't wait to show them off when we sweep the next tourney.
Go Us. May we live on in infamy, and never again lose our winning streak.
Dear Bethany,
Very sweet post. Do you know what one of MY favorite things is? THE TRUTH.
The truth is, you ladies benefitted from a subconcious slackening caused by our prolonged and profound domination in Spades. Yes, our kindness was our downfall.
That being said, the re-match challenge is officially extended.
Bring it, "Lady Lightning." And tell your Wrangler-wearing, Blind-nil-getting friend IT IS ON.
We loved having you guys here. The house is very quiet as of yesterday! I love the video clip, but is there anyway you could edit out my "Michael"? I sound like an old fishwife! Your help on that would be appreciated!!
Mom
