I'm... a bigger idiot...

I need a cave to live in.

I'm an idiot.

Good gravy.

Just when I think things couldn't possibly get more complicated, what do I do?

I add like five more complications on top of everything else.

Oh, Shannon.. When will you learn that the best choice, many times, is to not stick your head out of your shell.

Maybe turtles DO have it all figured out..

Oh well, I feel like everything'll work itself out somehow. And eventually, I'll be happy with it.

Can I be Donatello?

Our Greatest Hits

Meeting you for the second time at Rachel's recital. Where you told me that guys with beards were your weakness.

Your visit to Springfield for New Years.

My first drive to Chicago and the subsequent visit. You showed me around downtown in the freezing snowy wind.

Our ATM adventure, after Definitely Maybe, when my car was in the parking garage and neither of us had cash to get it out.

The St. Louis Zoo.

NOT my Greyhound bus ride to Chicago, but the subsequent road trip back to Springfield.

Our TGI Friday's adventure, driving all over St. Louis, listening to The Police, just cause we were both too stubborn to say "okay fine, let's eat somewhere else."

Our drive up to Peoria, IL, listening to and singing songs the whole way.

Shakespeare in the Park.

Playing Whoonu with Rachthony, Mark, and Betty. "Bookstores?!!"

Rachthony's wedding.

And my personal favorite: Sitting in your grandma-style house in Wentzville, eating macaroni and cheese and watching hours of Game Show Network.
