happy birthday!

For the month of November I’ve been writing in a daily gratitude journal and today’s prompt is “Animals.” It also happens to be Todd’s birthday. Hmmmm...how to combine the two...

Happy birthday to the guy who keeps me on my toes but also keeps me grounded.

He's a loyal DAWG* who bleeds brown and orange. He’s been through it all, starting as a 7 year old kid watching the 1964 Championship onto The Kardiac Kids, The Mistake on the Lake, The Drive, The Fumble, The Move, Rebuilding Since 1999, Factory of Sadness, The Helmet, and like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps on going! No matter what the Browns do, one thing never changes: Pittsburgh sucks.**  


Happy Birthday THouse...Here we go, Brownies, here we go! WOOF WOOF!


And now, 2 months and 1 week later, you're the same age as me!







*For those of you wondering about the Browns lore, the team's mascots are a "brownie" elf and a dog, typically a bull mastiff, in reference to the Dawg Pound, which is the nickname for a specific portion of the stands where the most diehard and rabid fans sit. The Dawg Pound has since been adopted and used as reference to the entire Browns fan base.

**The Browns - Steelers rivalry, or Turnpike Rivalry, is an intense National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.
