My Secret Confession...

I like Taylor Swift! I think she's got great music, and I turn up the sound in my car to listen to her driving to and from basketball games! And I don't care who knows it!! Phew... now that that's out, let me explain.

You, our priviledged readers, get access to important (and once secretive) information sometimes. Yes, I'm a man. It's true. And I enjoy country pop. So? Does that lessen my man-hood? No way!

Maybe it's because I married a little Idaho girl, and she likes her country music (to an extent). In either case, we've listened to a lot of Taylor Swift lately, and frankly, I enjoy it. I confess that on Monday driving to and from playing basketball with my friends, I turned the iPod to Taylor and sang along (as much as I could, considering I don't know all the words yet). Then after a tough-fought game of basketball, including rolling my ankle several times, I hopped back in the car and turned up the music. I enjoy it. The lyrics tell stories, and she says it like it is. Even her mean-girl songs... if you know Taylor Swift, you know what I mean.

There you have it! Share it with the world. Dan likes Taylor Swift.

Don't worry, Laurie... you're still my one and only! :)

New Year!

Well, a new year was ushered in by the making and wearing of awesome hats, and playing games with Laurie's family. It was quite an enjoyable evening. With the new year here, school has begun again, and is now in full swing. I'm taking 18 credit hours, and Laurie is teaching and learning grammar (it's about time, if you ask me! :) It's gonna be one BUSY semester, but, hey, we can handle it! We're tuff.

Also, we moved into our little apartment. I like it, though. It's really grown on me. When you have each other, a place to live, and food to eat (and perhaps a Nintendo Wii, ha!), what else do you really need? We're very blessed, and things are going smoothly!
