IHO his bday, here are my favorite Ben pics from the last year











































And if those weren’t enough for you, enjoy this flashback to our undergrad days:

    1. We DO take a lot (too many?) pics

  5. Happy Belated Birthday to Ben! You probably have taken more pictures of/with your husband in the last year than I have during my entire 10+ year relationship with my husband. Ha. But he HATES taking pictures! Admittedly I am barely in any photos either since I'm the one taking them. I hope he had a really special day!

    Also, I saw your comment about my mortgage paying off post - just wanted to emphasize that I don't think it's a standard thing to pay off your mortgage and that anyone can do it! We are super fortunate to both work in well-compensated industries and we had kids very late in life (age 37). We are far from the heavy outflow years in terms of kid activities and such so have had a lot more disposable income to throw at things like our mortgage and investments and such. We are definitely an outlier in being able to do this, though!

  8. I, too, love how many favorites there are. I particularly liked the six-pack/three-pack picture. Beer and ice cream? An... interesting pairing. :)
