25 Random Things About Me

So, today there was this survey that Elizabeth sent me on Facebook. I took awhile to think about 25 things about me and I figured maybe some would like to read this, fill it out for themselves and send it back to me!

1. I love coffee. But some might say I like coffee creamer more<3

2. I have a weakness for old men. I feel like every one of them could be my grandfather, and I think they are just adorable.

3. I have been trying to quit cursing for about 3 years now, and just can’t seem to quit. This habit is particularly bad when I am around people who don’t curse. It’s almost like I have to make up for the fact that they don’t do it. Some times I am so backwards.

4. I can never decide what I career path I want to go down. Mostly because all I really want is to be a mother and wife more than anything else in the world. It’s the only vision I get.

5. I wish I was born in a different decade sometimes. Like maybe the 50’s. Things were a lot lovelier then.

6. As excited as I am to have a beautiful wedding, what really motivates me is getting to marry the man that God intended for me. I never want to go a day without Jason by my side.

7. Everything really goes much easier when it goes my way!

8. I am blessed to have two really awesome parents. There is nothing they would not do for me, and I for them.

9. I love “reality” television.

10. I am a super top secret book worm:)

11. I just so happen to like Martha Stewart. So what if she is a little on the dry side, she is entertaining and has great ideas!

12. I truly can’t wait for Jason and me to have a home of our own again.

13. I miss my Grandma Marika so much. I wish could spend just one more day with her. I don’t think I will ever get over her…

14. I am the eldest of three children, and I definitely was built for the role. I love being a big sister!

15. I wish I could have a horse; I would love nothing more than to live on a farm in the country and go riding everyday.

16. I am really prissy, unless I am prepared to get dirty, then I go all out like a little kid!

17. I only watch the Superbowl for the commercials.

18. Whenever I am irritated, embarrassed or anxious I break out into hives all over my
décolleté. It itches and drives me crazy.

19. I am a clean freak. Friends call me the “Bleach Queen”

20. Although I never, ever did well in Math during my time in school, I enjoy the accounting aspect of my job more than anything else. I wish it was a bigger part of my job.

21. I was picked on pretty badly during high school. Sometimes I wish I could go back as the woman I am now, and not let the stupid kids get to me like they did. I now realize it only fed their attitudes towards me.

22. Ever since my car accident (a year and a half ago) I am absolutely terrified to let other people drive me around. I feel like people just don’t take the value of ones life seriously on the road. It’s just not something I take lightly anymore.

23. I wish I could be on “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style” I just don’t know how to dress this new fuller figure of mine.

24. I think everyone should watch and carefully consider the movie “Pay it Forward”.

25. I have the best friends a girl could ever ask for. Love you!

Thanks Melissa

Jason's sister Melissa was so thought full this Christmas! She gave us a gift certificate to our favorite restaurant Bone Fish! It was only natural that we decided Melissa and her boyfriend Lee should join us for a really awesome meal out on the town. The place was packed, but luckily I made some reservations, so we were able to get seated right away. Our meals were so awesome, and the dessert was incredible. Check out the pictures above from the night out!

Childhood Homes

Jason's Childhood Home (Above) & Mine (Below)

Jason and I were up in Woodbridge visiting the massive mall for a little after holiday shopping, when I suddenly had the notion that we should venture a little off the path and go visit our childhood homes. We both moved when we were pretty young from these homes, but I know for me, some of my earliest memories took place in this house. When I close my eyes I can still see my father coming up the stairs sun burnt from his deployment in Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm or My mom changing my baby brothers diapers in his bright yellow nursery. Jason recalls being in the backyard of his home in a little blue pool playing with a frog he had captured earlier that day. I made sure to take some pictures so I could show our parents, just how things looked. Enjoy!

Dinner at Outback, with Friends

Meet the Newlyweds on the block! Elizabeth and Brandt are two of our best friends! They just got married back in September! We finally had a chance to catch up with these two over an awesome blooming onion and steaks at outback! I think being married really agrees with them as you can plainly see by their glowing faces! Jason has been best friends with Brandt since they were about and his family moved right next door to Jason's. Elizabeth and I met during English class on my first day at a new high school when I transferred for 11th grade. Over the years we have all grown so close, and really enjoy getting together, for game nights, good food, and now we even go camping together. Enjoy the pictures for our night out above!

I know I have been so horrible about posting, but I just have not gotten around to getting my photos uploaded on to the computer! I hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year! We had a wonderful time this Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve with Jason's fathers' side of the family. On Christmas Day Jason's mothers' side of the family came over to my parents house and we all had a nice feast together. I sure do miss all of the good food. Enjoy some of the photos from the holidays.
