I enjoyed this post. Made me chuckle. Tell him we can be PB and chocolate fans together. Best. Combo. Ever. Random question. So if he loves it so much, he must not be allergic to peanuts. What nuts is he allergic to? And I stopped inviting Ross to chick flicks too. I don't have to worry about how much he hate it, he doesn't have to sit through it, I get a night out. It's a win-win!

It is funny that he loves Disney so much because he really teased me about loving Disney when Denver and I were datng. (Denver took me to Disney World for our Honeymoon as well.) :) Maybe he hadn't realized that it really is the "Happiest Place on Earth!"
