Cast Your Vote
























































The time has finally come when we must say farewell to a familiar friend. Someone who has been with us since November. He was at every meal, he tucked us in every night, he even stood by Ryan's side as painful insults were slung at their friendship- but they stood tall and united. Alas, though, all good things must come to an end, and so we pay our respects and final farewells to... Facial Hair.



















Please help us in figuring out which one is the best, the most awesome, the one that says to the world "I AM MAN!".

An Awesome Moment In Brown Marriage History

Tonight we wanted to cut back, more so than usual. How do the Browns achieve that? Well, my dear reader, let us inform you. We prefer to every Friday run over to Papa Murphy's, use our coupon's, and pick up a pizza. While said pizza is being hand crafted by the oh so charming employees of Papa Murphy's, we run into FredMeyers to buy libations. But how do the Browns make this even more Boss than other evenings? TMNT III (or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for those who are not as well educated of the '90's Pop Culture).
After a rather jubilant viewing and a trip down memory lane - Shout Out to the Heinrich Cousins & Brothers Brown from Ryan- we had to continue the good times. This could be only accomplished in one form- DANCE!
The second song to play during the credits is this amazing song from the '90's that I was obsessed with, and dare say Ryan enjoyed heartily as well. Please view below link for music.

We then proceeded to dance the main dance of the Turtles in the beginning and end of the movie in our Living Room. See below link for dance.

It's the little things that really make life worth living. We shared this 2 minute moment, my husband and I, dancing as if nothing else in the world mattered, all the problems of the day tossed to the side with a simple dance move. There was only us, Baltimora, and 4 Green Turtles.

Yoga Update

Well, I've had my Yoga video and mat for 2 weeks now and have participated in the Yoga Act about 2x. When I say about, I mean precisely 2x. Went yesterday, not today, my dream was so much more fascinating. Of course my hammy's are on fire today- that's a bad sign. Why can't the narration of Sting be enough to motivate me?! 'Tis a Sad World...

Chicken Pot- Chicken Pot- Chicken Pot Pie!

Ryan said he wanted something different from the norm for dinner, so I dug through my Betty Crocker Cook Book and found this tasty meal. It was pretty easy to make and only took an hour total for prep and baking. I cheated and bought the pie dough, but everything else was totally easy to make. I carved out our initials to make it extra special and sprinkled pepper on top to give it a little extra "show". Ryan went nuts over this meal. He kept eating, and eating, and eating! Literally, I think he ate 1/2 the pot pie.
