TOP 10 REASONS WHY WE LIKE ROBIN AS A HOUSEGUEST

10-She doesn’t give us too much time to think about whether she’s coming or not, so it’s always kind of a surprise, thus she doesn’t really expect the house to be clean.

9-She does not expect us to entertain her or keep her occupied, although she’s more than willing to go do fun stuff if we suggest it.

8-We eventually (after driving through what seemed like the entire Salt Lake Valley) hit some awesome garage sales (more about the cute cars I found for John later).

7-She offers to babysit my kids for me so Ryan and I can go out (Yes, we went and saw MI-3 on opening weekend).

6-She plays sword fight with the kids so I don’t have to.

5-She tells us over and over again how beautiful it is here in Utah, and makes us more appreciative of the beauty of Utah in the spring.

4-She cleans up after herself, and doesn’t mind helping with dishes.

3-Even though she ties up the phone for hours at a time, she at least uses her own phone card so I don’t freak out at a big bill long after she’s gone.

2-Hearing her child custody battles and the hoops she has to jump through woos reminds us of how lucky we are to have a good marriage and that we NEVER EVER want to get divorced.

1-I love her like a sister and she is welcome anytime.
