 The lesson in Relief Society on Sunday was about strengthening marriages and at the end the teacher handed out a paper filled with 21 questions.

Gary had Thursday off this week so we made a plan to go on a date together. We took the kids out to eat at A&W’s for lunch so I knew Gary would say he wasn’t hungry. It’s like a disease, he can’t help himself. Gary feels the need to finish all of the uneaten [...]

1-I hate carbonated soda. The carbonation makes my eyes water.
2-When I was in high school I took piano lessons for a year after begging my parents for them. I really want to take piano lessons again. (I also would love to own a piano.)
3-I have never said a swear word in my life.
4-When I was pregnant [...]
