What She Doesn't Know...

Well, hello again all you readers, it's me again, The Hubby. Melissa does not know I am writing this because I wanted this to be a surprise.

You see, for all of you not quite aquainted with my wife, she is more than the contents of these blogs...how much more? Well, she is 34 years old today, and i thought I would list 34 interesting facts and tidbits about her...here we go!

1. Melissa is a huge Michael Jackson fan. In fact, she defended him better than his lawyers did during his trials;

3. Melissa likes her food somewhat bland;


4. In a related post, she is an incredible cook...go figure!


5. We used to keep a list of famous people we would go out with...mine were the usual...Julia Roberts, Megan Mullally ( Don't ask, I don't even know)...Melissa's? Christopher Walken...I KNOW!

8. She was going to go to school for nursing, but she met the love of her life...later, she met me;


9. She LOVES coca-cola...she would not trade Tobey Jude for a can, but the other kids are fair game;


10. Melissa's first car was a piece of crap she named Bingo ( she names cars ). It was a 1987 or 85 ford tempo. It was in and out of the garage literally every other week. *insert clever acronym for the name "ford" here*
