I – Indulgence: Éclairs; I prefer them naked (without the chocolate on top unless it's REALLY good chocolate but the grocery stores usually just pile icing on top - barf).

L – Life is Incomplete Without: Faith in Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. Or Pringles. Or forgiveness. Or Chapstick. M – Marriage Date: March 28, 1998 (I picked March because it begins with M and the 28th because that’s my birth date in May (write that down because I like gifts if they're EXACTLY what I ask for or VERY sentimental or thoughtful) – so all Ben needs to do is remember the 28th in any Month that starts with M). N – Number of Siblings: One younger brother (by 7 yrs), Jason, who was almost Matthew. We’re not uber close but I love him and glad he’s a good guy.

S – Season: Fall for the crisp air, turning leaves, sweaters, bundling up on the couch, cider, Hot Pumpkin Surprise Cake with fresh whipped cream, sunsets and fireplaces. T – Tag 3 or 4 People: b., cjane, elpasorepresentyo, formerly phread. U – Unknown Fact About Me: Not much that people don’t know about me because I’m too honest.

Too funny! Think I might need breast reduction surgery- if you get a chance read my posts from yesterday, and you will understand- :~)

May. May's a good month. 28th is a good day. Mine's the 29th.

Married in March too.

There are a few other similarities as well, but then my comments would be the size of your post and that would be tacky.

You and Ben celebrate VD?

Carina said...

I always thought VD was more of a laughing matter than a celebration.
