Happy 5th Birthday to my Princess Mary Ruth! I can’t believe it’s been five years. Now, here are five things about Mary Ruth (you probably already know them).
1. Her name comes from The Wife’s mom and grandmother (Mary) and my grandmother (Ruth… MaMa).
2. My pet name for her is MR (“mister” or Big Sister MR). Susie calls her Moo Moo.
3. She gets her feelings hurt easily… which is something that causes me a lot of anxiety.
4. She LOVES all animals (especially dogs).
5. She doesn’t want anyone to be wrong. If I say it’s sunny outside and The Wife says it’s pouring down rain, then Mary Ruth will stop us and say it’s sunny and pouring down rain.
Winthrop Update: The Eagles play PC at home this Friday in a huge Big South match-up.
