My Awesome Wife, Kristin
Hi, this is Chad (a.k.a. Dad, Had, Had the Dad, etc.) Ok, first let me start off by saying this is my first blog ever. I actually had to hack into my wife's blog account in order to be able to post this secretly. I figure it's o.k., since she set up a "secret" email account recently in order to hide a secret from me! :)

Anyhow, I just wanted to let every blog-reader out there know how GREAT Kristin is! Not that y'all don't already know this to be true, but I want you to know that I KNOW she is GREAT!
Here is why: she does everything just right...just the way I like it. My birthday, for example, couldn't have been more perfect. She knew exactly what I wanted, which is generally practical stuff I really need. This birthday, yes the big 3-0, it was a combination of stuff I needed and wanted. As always, she did everything exactly how I wanted it to be. She just knows what I want. I don't even have to tell her, she just knows. She's a great listener and thoughtfully plans in advance when she hears me mention something casually to her. If I say something three months before any given holiday, she'll remember.
The problem is I end up ruining everything she plans. I start giving hints the weeks leading up to my birthday and since she is so "on the ball" with what I want she has already gotten the item, or planned for what I want to happen by the time I hint to her what I want. This year, being a big birthday, she planned a great weekend of events for me. The best part is that she didn't even mind it so much that I ruined 4 of the 5 surprises she had in store for me (The 5th one totally took my by surprise...I was off of my game a little, I guess). Well, it bugged her that I started hinting for things that were already in the works (case in point - Crawford Boxes - see her Blog below). But, since she already knew exactly what I wanted, it's tough to keep it a secret and tough make it a surprise.
So basically, I love Kristin. She is great. I hope all of you readers out there are lucky enough to feel the same way about your significant other. It's so great to be able to come home everyday to my best friend, who loves baseball (as a spectator mainly), puts up with my M*A*S*H watching habits, has joined forces with me in the world of South Beach, is letting me plan a cruise that will hopefully happen in the near future, is the best wife and mother a husband could possible hope for, and in short, just does everything right.
Kristin, I love you. (To you readers out there, thanks for letting me "vent" my happiness!)
Yours Truly,
Had the Dad

We already knew Kristin was ultra fabulous, but it's nice to have a reminder!
Yes, Kristin is great...I hope everyone noticed how extremely skinny these two are. They've lost tons of weight thanks to Dr. Agatston and they look great!!
Whata great post! I think Kristin is great, too!
Chad for a first post you did a great job, and your picture looks really good. Keep up the good work on your new life style.
Hooray for Kristin! We love her too! And Happy Birthday to you, Chad! 30's a good age--it will be a great year! You two will be blazing hot with your new south beach bods on the upcoming cruise! :)
