HI, that’s me, McGraw. Yes, that’s my first name, not my last. I love my husband, art of all kinds, and things that make me smile. I’m married to that goofy man below. He loves me, writing, soccer, and other things. We try and make every experience and moment a fun adventure. This is a rough sketch of me, my husband, and the things we’re up to! :) Enjoy.

Have a girlfriend for five minutes and you think you can play with the big boys? Adorable. Son, I’ve been in a relationship since you had a ponytail and were playing Dave Matthews on your mama’s Casio. I’m a good boyfriend- in my sleep. I can rock a killer foot rub with one hand and brew a kick ass pot of chamomile in the other that would make you weep. Hell, I’ve forgotten more about microwaving fat-free popcorn and watching Sandra Bullock movies than you’ll ever know, but thanks for your concern, rook.”<br/><br/> - <em>Marshall, to Barney (How I Met Your Mother, 5x06 <i>Bagpipes</i>) (via <a href="http://graceinsmallthings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">graceinsmallthings</a>) (via <a href="http://goldenmeg.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">goldenmeg</a>) (via <a href="http://gasp-shock.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">gasp-shock</a>) (via <a href="http://tvquotes.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tvquotes</a>) (via <a href="http://heartwarming.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">heartwarming</a>) (via <a href="http://coldhearted.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">coldhearted</a>)</em>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/233102591http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/233102591Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:13:43 -0800<img src="http://7.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kslmixc9rG1qznpiho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m fairly certain this photo was taken in November 2003… very close to when Patrick and I officially started dating.  Today, Patrick and I have been considering ourselves “taken” for SIX years. Maybe its silly still recognizing our dating anniversary, but I don’t care.  Patrick has been “mine” for much longer than our wedding anniversary and being together for 6 years is an amazing feat.  I want to take a second to tell him how these last six years have truly been the best of my life.  You’ve helped me grow into the person I am today, I wasn’t whole until you came into my life.  So thank you and I love you more than you’ll ever know :) Happy versary :)</p> <p>(side note, this is me trying to get the bottle away from him. it was his time to be cut off, as you may notice…hehe)</p>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/233099287http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/233099287Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:08:00 -0800<p>Thanks for getting me hooked on <i>So you think you can dance. <br/></i></p>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/232969931http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/232969931Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:06:00 -0800<img src="http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks3kvw6XMe1qznpiho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/223309277http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/223309277Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:16:44 -0700<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks1p8qvh0T1qznpiho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/222285021http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/222285021Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:55:38 -0700<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krwgqjH61D1qznpiho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Patrick and I at the Pearl Jam concert in Portland awhile back :)</p>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/219718301http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/219718301Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:03:55 -0700<img src="http://7.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krros5WEJL1qzb2hmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://sweethomestyle.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">sweethomestyle</a>)</p> <p>How awesome would this be if you were 10?!?

I don’t know if that makes sense, but it brought me back to when I was little, but mature enough to be getting a card that gave me the power to take care of the books and return them at the proper time.  Well, its hard to explain. I checked out a few books for me and a few kids books for Griffin. The smell of them and the sound of the plastic coverings protecting them brought back some fun memories. :)</p> <p>And, did you know most libraries now have new popular movies you can “check out” to watch. Yeah!  They might not have a HUGE selection of titles, but still, so much better than Red Box and Netflix.  Why you ask, cuz a library card is FREE!!!</p> <p>The library is an awesome place and I’m so glad I stopped in there today.</p>http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/183895863http://mcgraw.tumblr.com/post/183895863Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:23:14 -0700
