Style & Sports

Mike and I pretty much make all of our bigger purchase decisions together. I tend to be the one with stronger opinions when it comes to style, and I do like to research the heck out of stuff to make sure we're getting a good value, but it's important that we both feel good about our decisions. And while sometimes I do just want what I want, and I'll go to great lengths to convince him why something I picked out is really the best option, if he hates it, we don't get it, and vice-versa.

It really does go both ways... if you think I've sucked him into my world of modern design and shopping... you have to know that 3 years ago, I didn't even know what March Madness was and I'd never seen a college football game in my life! Now I find myself staying up late to finish the games and see how my bracket is doing, and I hate scheduling Princess House parties on Saturdays in the fall because I miss out on the Michigan games! So we both rub off on each other, and I think it's great.

So this weekend when we saw the exact stroller we'd decided on, just in a different color than I'd picked out, and found out we could get $50 off, the decision was surprisingly easy. Mike said he actually preferred this color over the blue/green we'd seen online... and it was ME asking him if it would bother him that it was Ohio State colors (Michigan's rival)! Yes, I even think in terms of sports now when picking out baby gear! He said no, and he thought we should just get it! So we walked away with a stroller that we both LOVE, we got a significant discount AND it's already put together! I think we do pretty well together! :)
