Daniel's List:

- I never knew what Q.A. stood for until I lived with Julie (Quality Assurance).
- If someone wants to do your laundry for you, it's best to let them do it however they want.

- My wife likes my hair better when I use a little hair spray.
- I’ve learned that I need to leave the house half an hour before her plane is scheduled to land.
- All the married guys were right about gaining 20 lbs during the first year of marriage; I'm halfway there at six months.
- When Julie is happy, she hums.
- I now know why they give you a year to write thank you notes after your wedding.
- Julie forgets very few things that I tell her... and she often remembers more things than I remember telling her.
- When I make a mistake, it doesn't just affect me anymore.
- If you go to the mall with your wife, plan on being there two hours longer than you think you would if you had gone by yourself.
- Julie is not as tough as she wants me to think she is. Yet she is often tougher than I imagine.
- Not everything is about me.
- Piles of things will become permanent unless I say something.
- Talk less, do more.
- The basic operations of an X Box controller.
- That no, he's not having a seizure, he's just almost asleep. (he's a real sleep twitcher)
- If you want to talk to Dan about something important, it's best to catch him before 10pm.
- Limes can be squeezed into pretty much anything and it will taste good.
- How to drive a Prius.
- How to play chess.
- My husband would prefer if I didn't wear deodorant.
- I've learned to accept that there will be some things that I do not understand: i.e. Fantasy Football. Dunk Ball. Call of Duty. Cigar smoking. Coconut Pineapple Juice.
- Most of the time, Dan actually does know what he's talking about when I'm skeptical.
- I’ve been exposed to so many bands I had never heard of and really like... and a few that I dislike...
- Dan is capable of doing half the things I used to think you had to pay for.
- Not all desserts have to have chocolate in them.
- Dan is very particular about the textures of fabrics, especially on clothing and furniture.
- (I'm still learning) how to pick up on sarcasm.
- Daniel does not like to walk away from a project unfinished -- it's best if we don't start something unless we'll have time to finish it.

- More often than not, things are not as big of a deal as I initially think they are.

- How to push through a five-day juice fast.
- That we really don't need cable (we have Netflix!).
- We are most effective as a team when we divide and conquer.
- It's worth it to wait for a sale or until you find the perfect bargain!
- There is rarely much benefit in mentioning your exes.
- That all the cliches were right: never go to bed mad. cut each other some slack, forgive easily. laugh at yourself and your spouse. it's a marathon, not a sprint. honesty is the best policy.
- That sometimes it's ok to order take out and watch five episodes of Mad Men in one night.
- Hugs hugs and more hugs.
