    Posted by TTnoles[/QUOTE]

    YES!!!! I was so frustrated at the possibility that he got <em>another</em> tattoo that I didn't read it. LOL Everyone was screaming and I was pouting. Luckily, his best friend caught it all on tape (including my stupefied face) and sent it to all our relatives.

    5.) What is your favorite thing about them?
    Besides his yummy cooking~he makes me laugh and keeps me grounded.  I am normally and worrier and like to plan EVERYTHING.  He is more fly by the seat of your pants.  He helps me relax when I worry over stupid things.  I am so happy I have found him!!
