New Project!

If you know me at all, you know I love lists, I love checking things off lists, and I love making and achieving goals.

So when I saw this project idea, I just had to do it!

I ran across this on some random blog a couple months ago, and I've been waiting until my birthday to start it. I always like to have a specific starting time that feels right in my mind - it gives me a sense of organization. But I have 6 days left until my birthday, and a Monday on the 1st of the month works for a good starting point as well.

I am going to complete 101 goals in 1001 days!

So here it is!

The Husband Quiz

Here's a chance to see how well you really know your husband. Cut, paste and fill in the answers.
The real challenge is to send it to your husband to see how right you really are!

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? It could just be some random thing on TV to have background noise, but often lately its National Geographic Channel - he thinks it makes him smarter!

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? Ranch, but on the side

3. What's one food he doesn't like? Anything from the ocean, unless it is fress from Hawaii

4. You go out to eat and have a drink. What does he order? Generally water with lime, but sometimes a coke

5. Where did he go to high school? homeschool - he graduated at 16 yrs old!

6. What size shoe does he wear? 11, but I think his feet are still growing somehow

7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? sports equipment, expensive toys (dirt bikes, monster trucks, cars, quads, boats, etc)

8. What kind of sandwich does he like? leftover turkey from thanksgiving dinner and mayo

9. What would he eat every day if he could? Pizza, but only if it is slightly undercooked with extra cheese and fresh tomatos on the side if possible

10. What is his favorite cereal? he's not a big cereal eater, but he goes through phases - captain crunch, cheerios, honey bunches of oats, honeycombs

11. What would he never wear? I honestly don't think there is anything he has never worn. He doesn't get embarrased. At all.

12. What is his favorite sports team? Phoenix Suns or Brazillian soccer

13. Who did he vote for? Palin

14. Who is his best friend? Jonathan, Drew, Quinn...oh, and ME of course!

15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do? sit on the computer while watching TV instead of cuddling him

16. What is his favorite color? baby blue

17. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind of cake? No cake. He'd much rather prefer his Dad's brownies. And I probably wouldn't be making them.

18. Did he play sports in high school? Um, yeah, everything. Mainly soccer, basketball, swimming, and at least a little of everything else.

19. What could he spend hours doing?playing basketball

20. What is one unique talent he has? he can break the zipper of every pair of jeans or shorts he owns. I don't know how he does it, but I literally have a stack of 4 pairs that need repairing right now.

Congrats, Grad!

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the husband of my best friend since jr. high - Brett! He graduated from ASU yesterday, with a degree in mechanical engineering.

I saw his homework a few times...I didn't know math could have more letters than numbers!

Their family has been there for Anthony and I on many occassions, and we are so grateful to have them as friends. We love them so much, especially their little ones!

Here's me with Kinz. She's such a little cuddle bug!

Oh yeah, and I got glasses. I've been wearing my contacts a little too much. You can sleep in them, but I kind of took it to the extreme. But I haven't had any glasses to wear, and every time I tell myself to remember to take them out for bed, I forget. And I can't see without them, so I try to remember for the next night, or the next, or never. So when I went to the optomologist, he took one look at my eyes and said I needed to have glasses or I might have serious permanent injury.

So, now I have glasses!

Anyway, the graduation was great. Well, ok, honestly, it was just as boring as mine! LOL!

But we were so glad to share the night with the Glenn's!

Love you guys!!!!

This is your garden....this is your garden on drugs

Yeah, so miracle grow really does work. My zucchini's have shot up like a rocket recently.

This picture we'll call DAY 1:

This picture was taken only 24 hours later:

And then just 10 days after that:

Oh, and look at these tomato plants! I took pictures of them only 3 weeks ago, and now this is where they are:

I'm so excited for the fresh vegetables I'll soon be having!!!

BBQ

We've been procrastinating the final project in the yard - the BBQ. There's a built-in set-up that came with the house, but unfortunately, the empty spot that was left open when the house was looted was too small for our grill. Too small for any grill we could see in the stores, actually. So we had to make it bigger.

Another reason why I love my husband.

He can do things like this.

And how cute is this?

Well here's where we are. When the concrete dries, we can slide the BBQ in place!

He looked pretty dang hot out there swinging a sledge hammer, bending rebar with his bare hands.

Yeah, that's my husband!

Photo Shoot

So now that I'm going to be a Realtor, I needed some good pictures to use on my business cards. So I called Elisha, the amazing photographer that took all the pictures at our wedding, and asked her to do some headshots for me.

Isn't she so talented?

Staring Death in the Face

Yeah, this bird has some real cajones.

And Prinx is soooooooo mad!
