beautiful blog award

here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award and insert a link to their blog.

2. Pass on the award to seven others who you think have a beautiful blog.

3. Add the "beautiful blog" button to your page.

4. Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have been chosen for this award.

5. Say seven things about yourself.

My cousin Nicole gave me the beautiful blog award. 

I don't know what she was thinking other than I was probably overdue for a post.   

Read her blog. She's a better blogger than me.

So here it goes.

1.  I've been driving the same car since I was 16 years old. 

2.  I've had lazer hair removal on my armpits.

3.  I know a lot of useless trivia about celebrities.

4.  I'm double jointed in a lot of body parts and I can practically spin my legs and arms around in a full circle.

5.  I love to sleep.

6.  I'm a little OCD about where things go in my house.  I can notice really tiny things that Andrew has tweeked, touched, or turned the wrong way etc. 

7.  I'm not the inventor of, but I AM the PERFECTOR of: The Great White Pig Shark.  Although I pretty much retired him a few years ago. 

Now these are the 7 others that must do this---My motivation is those of you that are overdue for an update, plus your blogs are beautiful.  :)

1.  Tasha

2.  Jenna

3.  Kadee

4.  Kim A.

5.  Brindley

6.  Kelsie (you're not that overdue but I just want you to do it)

7.  Lindsay (I know Nicole picked you too so now you HAVE to do it)

Confessions of a Me Monster

Jenna wants me to do this post about confessions---well I'm a blabber mouth and can't keep secrets so you've probably heard these ones before, but here it goes:

--I am TERRIFIED of birds. Big ones, small ones, wild ones, and tame ones---ALL birds!! They hate me and I hate them. Believe me I could write and entire post titled “My Bad Experiences with Birds.”

--I do not know my left from right. I struggle daily.

--I sleep like a rock! From the moment my head hits the pillow until Andrew shakes me to wake me up (because I slept through the alarm) I am out cold. I really fear for when we have a baby. Andrew will have to get up with the baby at night or it will starve ‘til death because I will sleep through all its cries. Sad huh…

--I laugh at people when they fall down. It’s funny! I’m a frequent faller so I have earned the right to laugh at people.

--I am not a pet person. I just don’t get it. They poop, they stink, they pee, they eat, they shed and the slithery, slimy, and creepy, crawly ones don’t even get me started! I have had a dog and horses and I liked them, but NOT in “the way” that people like their pets today. I really don’t get it……someone please explain it to me.

--I am the least romantic person in the world. When people tell me that they met someone and sparks flew and that they knew from that moment that they were going to marry them, or that they danced in a park, or were serenaded from a balcony etc. I swear-- a little throw up comes up.

--I frequently crack open eggs and two yolks come out of one egg. I don’t think this is normal. Andrew didn’t believe me-- and then it happened 3 times in like a week and I showed him each time. He believes me now.

--I sing very loudly and dance when I am in the car alone. And more than once, people I know have caught me. I also have road rage. Even as a passenger I lean over and honk the horn at bad drivers. Then I laugh!

--Back in high school my friends and I stole the paper funnels from the oil section of the gas station. We went to Tim’s house and put 1 million funnels all over his lawn. It started a war!

--When I laugh really hard, my nostrils flare in and out at an incredible rate. And I have peed my pants from laughing so hard—more than once.

There you have it. Please feel free to share you inner confessions with me.

How did you meet?

LONG story- let's just say Andrew figured the best way to get to hang out with his best bud ALL THE TIME was to marry his best bud's cousin

Who asked who out first?

BRYCE did all the work. He set us up at least the first 12 times!

Who kissed who first?

In the BEGINNING of our relationship, we were just FRIENDS and I had no intentions. So after a month or so of this kind of dating I decided to KISS him just to get a reaction. We were in a huge park and right as I KISSED him the SPRINKLERS came on and SQUIRTED us in the face so I ran away LAUGHING while he stayed there disappointed in the WET field. Then ANOTHER month of dating passed and we went on a group date to the drive in. After the first movie Kelsie told me she had MADE OUT with her BLIND date!!! Needless to say, I was kinda JEALOUS and so I went back and MADE OUT with Andrew. He CLAIMS the reason why he just took his SWEET time was all a STRATEGY --- he was a good listener and I often complained about past boyfriends that SO kissy and lovey---barf!

Who proposed?

Obviously him, that is werid if the girl does.
