Happy 37th Birthday Cathie


Today is Cathie's 37th birthday. Here are a few things you don't know about my wife:
  1. Cathie grew up in the hood of Lansing on Michigan Ave, a street known for prostitution and drugs.
  2. Cathie and I started dating 18 years ago. On one of our first un-official dates, I picked her up from MSU to take her to church and then to breakfast afterwards. She ordered the most expensive orange juice EVER and I didn't have enough money to pay for the bill. She ended up paying.
  3. Cathie thinks black people are funnier than white people. It may sound like reverse discrimination, but a white man and a black man could tell the same joke and Cathie would only laugh at the black man's joke. Why can't we all just get along?
  4. Cathie likes to come up with special abbreviations for her favorite drinks. "White Zin" is one of these secret-codes.
  5. Cathie's favorite type of music is hip-hop. She listens to it in the car when the kids aren't around. She also loves to go out dancing with her friends. Me, not so much.
  6. While we were dating, Cathie used to borrow my parents cars and somehow she ended up breaking them.
  7. Cathie has had more hair styles than any person I know. Some of these styles have not been good to her.
  8. Few people know that Cathie has a very similar sense of humor to me. She often whispers the funniest stuff to me and I'm just the one to say it out loud.
  9. Cathie has chosen to spell her name with the "ie" at the end just to be a pain in everyone's butt. You'll never see someone angrier than when Cathie gets a letter or e-mail with someone spelling her name "Cathy".
  10. Regardless of how she looks in this picture, I'm more in love with Cathie and think she's even more beautiful than the day I met her.
