Posted by Chris | Filed under Melisa
I have been able to spend a lot more time lately with Melisa than I have been able to in the past. This fantastic blessing has helped me realize moreso what a wonderful woman she is and just how lucky I am to have married her.
Each day that goes by, my love and appreciation grows. Melisa– you are truly a special person. Thank you for making my life complete!
Baby. Yes there is a baby on the way

Heartfelt Thoughts about Melisa
Posted by Chris | Filed under Melisa
Today I am at work missing my wife. I found this picture and thought I should post it. It reminds me of one of the funnest, happiest and most memorable times of my life, our Anniversary trip to Disneyland.
I tried to come up with some cute caption about Melisa, dopey, and some sort of Disney character. But I got nothing. Not today, sorry folks.
Reasons why Melisa is the greatest woman in the world:
1- No matter how bad my day is, when I see Melisa’s face, it cheers me up.
2- Melisa is such a fantastic mother to Annie, McEwan and Sophie.
3- Melisa takes care of me when my days are unbelievable stressful.
4- Even when Melisa is having a bad day, she still has a smile on her face.
5- Melisa makes sure that I get to have lunch every day, even on the weekends. Dinner and breakfast too.
6- Melisa puts up with my crap. And isn’t there a lot since I have brown hair?
7- Melisa keeps our house looking fantastic.
8- Melisa keeps our children looking fantastic.
9- Melisa is the most selfless person I have met. She always thinks of others first. Then takes care of herself.
10- Melisa is a great example of honor. She makes an extra effort to be honest and upfront in all things.
11- Melisa got me converted to Country Music. Country Music now takes up about half of my iPod.
12- Melisa always wants to do fun things. She is very spontaneous and enjoys some excitement.
I have more. A lot more. But there is not enough hard drive space in the world to hold all of the kind words in my heart. (how is that for nerd flattery).
Melisa, You are such an important part in my life. Thank you for all you do for me and for our family. You really are the glue that holds us together. I have said it again, without you we would all be running around hungry and naked.
I love you more than anything in the entire world. Please don’t stop being you. You are such a fantastic wife and mother. It makes me so happy to be your husband.
I can’t wait to see you tonight for a BIG HUG and KISS.
Love you!!!!

My wife – Blogger Theme Designer
Posted by Chris | Filed under Blogging, Family, Melisa
I couldn’t be prouder of my wife, Melisa
She used to get her styling for her blog from some website. Well that website got shut down for using patterns they shouldn’t. Then one day all of the themes went away. Discouraged, Melisa decided to make her own. With very little coaching from me (mostly direction to some tools), she is now making her own themes
Using a combination of some patterns she found, Picnik.com (for image editing) and box.net (for file storage), she got this all working.
who knows, maybe some bribery will get you your own theme made.
Nice work Melisa! You are making you Nerd Husband very proud
My Personality Type
Posted by Chris | Filed under Blogging, Melisa
Melisa found a website and gave me a personality test. Here are the results:
| You Are An ISFP |
 The Artist You are a gifted artist or musician (though your talents may be dormant right now). In love, you are quiet and sweet yet very passionate. You love easily. At work, you do best in an unconventional position. You express yourself well and can work with almost anyone. How you see yourself: Sympathetic, kind, and communicative When other people don’t get you, they see you as: Incompetent, insecure, and overly sensitive |
seems pretty close to me (maybe?)
