A few weeks ago, we sat next to a friend and she was all, I don't want to offend you, but…it's like you share a brain or something! And then I laughed. She couldn't have been more spot on. And, really, I wasn't offended at the thought of sharing a brain with JD. I can use all the help I can get.

People often ask what, exactly, JD does for the business, so I'm going to put it as simply as possible: HE KEEPS ME FROM GOING CRAZY. And if you've met in real life, you'll know it's a full time job.

JD has been full time with the business for about a year and I don't think a single day has looked the same for him. He's a visionary, risk-taker, and executes ideas. And Oh! The! Ideas! We! Have! Part of why the business has grown the way that it has is because he takes the responsibility for actually doing things. You see, I say I'll do something, but then life, email, and pedicures get in the way of actually doing it. That's where JD comes in.

And, of course, he shoots weddings with me. And he looks handsome while doing so. And this makes me happy. And I like using And to start sentences. Somebody call the Grammar Police!

Just yesterday JD planned my next trip to speak in Las Vegas for Skip's Summer School (which is in just three weeks!) and organized our travel schedule for the next four months. He got so busy planning things, he suggested I make lunch on my own. Lunch? ON MY OWN?!? Did he know who he was talking to? My lunches consist of Triscuits, cotswold cheese, and an apple. And THAT is why I need him in my life. Without him, I wouldn't adhere to the FDA's suggested Food Pyramid, be imprisoned by the Grammar Police, and only ever say I wanted to dream big. Together, he helps me actually do.

Thanks to videographer extraordinaire, Russel Fowler for snapping this photo of us at last week's wedding…we're looking a little tore up, but the memory is special…

Happy Sunday!
