14. Tell us a funny story about yourself. When Drew and I were first married we lived in an apartment complex â€" the mailboxes for the complex were pretty far from our unit so I had a separate key ring for the mail key and would drive to the mailbox on my way home each night. Well one night I got out and inadvertently lock my car door when I got out (manual locks) and shut the door â€" so there I am at 8 pm, locked out of my car with it still running. My purse was in it and so was my house key and cell phone. Drew was still in school at the time and in class so I had to go to the neighbor to help me. We eventually used a coat hanger to get it unlocked, but it probably sat there running for a good hour!

She was only 9 weeks in that picture :heart: I loved all her puppy wrinkles!
ahh - what a cute couple you guys are! I love to clean too - just not my own house. And I wish I liked working out!
Speaking of chocolate and peanut butter and Little Debbies - do you like Nutty Bars and those peanut butter log things? Well - really anything Little Debbie makes is good - thus the reason I wish I liked working out!
Happy POD Day!

I LOVE Nutty Bars...It is so true that pretty much anything with the Little Debbie label is YUMMY!
Happy Person of the Day Kari !!!! Thanks for sharing about you and your family - I LOVE the pictures !!! We share the same taste in movies and singers - I love all that you listed ! Hey - if you are ever Texas way and are going through cleaning withdrawels - come on over - LOL !!!!! Have a great day filled with kissies from that sweet Penny !
Happy POD, Kari! I, too, love peanut butter and chocolate - how about those Reese's Peanut butter cups? I like both your pictures, and Drew sure does remind me of Orlando Bloom!
I love the pics! Anytime you want to clean, let me know....I hate it. I do it, but hate it and I leave the really pesky tasks (like window washing, mopping or cleaning the really well) go too long before I bite the bullet and do them.
I bet everyone told you that you were crazy for getting married so young. I know that happened to me - our family and close friends were supportive but the rest of the world tried to talk us out of it. You guys look great together! Here's to a lifetime of wonderful marriage!

I got married at 22 after graduating from college and was told I should wait. Actually I was told to "just live together instead that way there'll be less fuss". I'm happy for you guys. You two are very cute together! Penny is/was a doll!
