5QF

 

 

1. What is the one thing your love does for you that you can't live without?

I cannot pick just one! There are so many things about him I cannot live without. But, since I have to pick one,  I think I would have to say I can't live without him being my best friend. There are times when the husband part doesn't matter as much as the best friend part. We are going to spend the rest of our lives together. That is a long time. We will change and fall in love with each other over and over. But we will always be best friends; and that (along with him being a great husband and dad) is one of my favorite things about him.

2. When did you know your love was "the one"?

This makes me laugh! I knew I was "in trouble" when I flew to Texas to get the Explorer from Collin (my brother). Randy and I had only been dating for a few weeks. And I talked Collin's ears off about Randy the whole time I was there. And as I was driving from Texas to Louisville, I talked to Randy almost the whole time! I knew I was smitten at that point. And I knew he was "the one" when I realized I was not scared to let him know that. I moved in a few weeks later. So a time line....

We met April 14th. Started slowly moving in in May. Fully moved in in June.  

3. Does your love have a special ringtone on your cell?

Nope. We both just use boring plain ringtones. We used to have our wedding song, but we got new phones and we don't have the song on there anymore. But, it says, "Hubster" when he calls :)

 

4. What are you attracted to most in your special someone?

Physically? His eyes! He has nice blue eyes. I love his eyes. Oh. And his smile! He has a fake smile and a real smile. And his real smile is so nice. He is such a handsome man!! :)

Non physical......His humor. His is pretty funny most of the time. Especially when he will suddenly break out in some goofy dance to whatever is on the radio. lol. And you gotta love his, "You can't see me" dance! Haha. He cracks me up.   

5. Did you know when/where he/she was going to pop the big question?

Yeah. I didn't know EXACTLY when. But I knew it was coming. We had just gotten back to Louisville from him meeting my family for the first time. And while we were in Chicago, he asked my dad if he could marry me! Talk about a crazy first meeting!

Wordless Wednesday!!- My Valentine!!!

In light of Valentine's Day....My love :)

As requested: Ghost story

This is just going to be a quick story. But I figured, since I was asked, I would tell.
Let me tell you the grandparents first:
Grama- Dad's mom (living)
Grampa- Dad's dad (passed away when I was really young)
Gram- Mom's mom (passed away when I was in high school)
Grandad- Mom's dad (living)

I got a text message from my friend Katie after her and her mom left my baby shower (which was held at my parent's house). She asked if there was a lady staying at their house. I told her no and asked why. She said her mom saw an older lady while we were eating brunch. Her mom just assumed it was my other grandmother (she knew what my Grama looks like, but she never met my Gram). She thought it was strange that this lady just came down the stairs, looked into the living room but didn't join the group. But she just thought maybe she was napping or something. She didn't think anything of it until she asked Katie about it and Katie said my Gram had died a few years ago. I asked what the person looked like, and it sounded like a good enough description that matched my Gram. 

That following week, Katie asked me to send some pictures of my Gram to see if it really was my Gram that her mom saw. I found a few pictures online that were of a few different stages in her life. She said the lady looked more like the younger pictures, but it did look like the same woman.

But if you think about it....If you die, would you want to look like you did when you died, or how you would like to be remembered?
I personally would like to believe that we "end up" the way we are best remembered. Soldiers killed would be in their formal dress uniforms. Grandparents would be the way they were best remembered. Etc.

But anyway. That is the story. Not much too it. I thought it was very interesting. And I liked that my Gram made an appearance at her first GREAT- Granddaughter's shower! :)

Five Question Friday

1. What are you most afraid of?
Right now, I would say not doing a good enough job raising Kylar. But, I don't think I should start worrying about that until she is a teenager when Karma kicks in from my behavior :)


2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?
I hardly do my hair. When I do, it depends on how much time I have. The last time I curled my hair it was about a 90 minute ordeal. So, usually, it is flat iron.


3. Hands-free or phone to the ear?
Phone to the ear. I hardly drive, so it is not much of an issue. But mainly I do not use hands-free bc the ear buds really hurt my ears!! I have not found any ear buds that do not hurt my ears.


4. Do you have a matching bedroom set?
Our bedroom is ridiculous! That is one of our goals for the spring. BUT, we want to do the living room first. To answer the question, no. We do not. We have a tan quilt and 3 sets of sheets (brown with white, green and blue). But we do not have a matching set.


5. Do you believe in the paranormal?
Considering my friend's mom saw my dead Gram at my baby shower, yeah. I do. 
I have never experienced anything myself. But I have heard a lot of stories from people that have experienced it. 

I think it is also true though that you have to believe they can really happen. And I think kids experience it more b/c they do not have all the doubt that adults have and they still believe!

 

Wordless Wednesday- Where is the baby??

5 question Friday!

1. Would you ever vacation alone?

No. I would get bored. If I was the person I am today but without a husband and baby, I might. But I would want someone to go out to dinner with, shop with, lay out by the pool with and whatever else we wanted to do. 

  

2. Do you go the speed limit?

 In the Camry no. In the Explorer yes. But I have definitely cut that down to rarely since we have Kylar.  Randy on the other hand!!! He needs to work on that! He drives fast when he should drive slow and he drives slow when he should go fast. 

3. Why did you start blogging/following blogs?

Mainly b/c we live so far away from my family. It is a way for them to read what is going on in our lives without being a daily part of it. 

I got hooked on reading blogs when I was on the bump while I was pregnant. The main blog was about this little one pound baby. It broke my heart, but I couldn't stop reading about her.  Here is the blog. Kayleigh's Story 

My new blogging obsession is crafts! I have so many crafting blogs bookmarked it is not even funny. There are 20+ links!

4. Where do you shop for yourself?

I have not done much clothes shopping for myself since Kylar was born. But for the most part, when I do, it is Old Navy. I get to kill 3 birds with one stone. I can get clothes for the whole family there. Besides, have you seen some of their clearance prices??

5. What was the song that you danced your first dance with your spouse to at your wedding...or...what song would you like your first dance to be to?

 We danced to 3 Doors Down's Your Arms Feel Like Home.
