I Feel Loved

Thanks for tagging me Britney!

Here's how to play: List 3 joys, 3 of your fears, 3 of your goals, 3 current obsessions/collections and 3 random, surprising facts about yourself. At the end of your post, tag more people.

3 Joys:
1. Spending my Saturdays getting the lawn mowed and getting all of our projects done. I feel a great relief when I do. I also love spending my Saturdays with Joe because that's really the only time I get to see him.
2. Lately I've been really interested in EVERYTHING! I want to ask about how everything works, why it works, and how it works. I think it just comes with going into my job and not having a single clue of what I was getting into. I did learn not to ask Katie and Colby my questions because the only answer they gave me was "google it"
3.I really like having Melanie live with us. It's nice having a 3rd opinion until she gives me the one I don't want which is usually most of the time.

3 Fears
1.I have an extreme fear of being tickled especially my feet. I feel like my body is being paralyzed and my hands and feet start sweating. Infact, my hands and feet are sweating right now just thinking about it.
2. I am PETRIFIED of sleeping in my house by myself. I have a pretty sick imagination and I think of everything bad that could happen to be me before and during my sleep.
3. I have a new fear of birds. When I was in California most of the restaurants are outside and they seriously just fly right past you or they eat around your feet.

3 Goals
1. To lose 8 pounds by Aubrey's wedding. Joe and I have a bet and if I do it then I get this ring I really want.
2. I want to be able to explain things better and have people actually understand me
3. To stand up for myself better and not bottle things up. I want to be more like Nichole. I really do look up to people that can handle situations without getting emotional and saying the wrong things.

3 current obsessions
1. Pink Berry. too bad I don't live by one
2. wearing hats
3. the color yellow

3 Random and surprising facts about myself
1. I hate doing laundry!
2. I love my truck!
3. Just because I have strong personality I am a shy person if I don't know you and if I'm in a uncomfortable situation. If I'm comfortable with you and if I know you I will be blunt, but for the most part I am shy person.

Only in Arkansas

We went and ate at Moe's yesterday and as we were leaving this is what we saw. This is for real too! If you can't read the sign it says "please do not disturb this bird she is nesting and needs no help"

Joe's 2nd degree burn

Ok so in my last post I mentioned that Joe had second degree burn on the top of his head but I didn't realize how bad it really was until he put his head down and all I saw was yellow spots all over. The poor guy! We read up on how to cure a 2nd degree burn but it pretty much said deal with it and don't touch it! So we went to church and about every 10 min Joe would turn to me and ask "is it running down"? And sure enough there was yellow nasty stuff running down his forehead. Just to let you know we didn't stay much longer. I brought him home and he is now laying on the couch with a cold rag on his head and I put lots of aloe vera on the rest of his face. I feel bad for him but were both frustrated that this happened two days before we leave for California. Oh well, we'll make it work.

P.S. dumb

I have heard all about the movie "P.S. I love you" so I have been so excited to watch it. Last night Melanie ordered it through red box and we watched it. I don't know if it was because I wasn't in a sappy mood or what but I thought the movie could not have been more dumb. The whole time I was watching it was thinking "I am so blogging about how dumb this movie is". I just didn't like the flow and it was just awkward. Don't worry though I wasn't the only one that didn't like it. None of the boys or Katie and Melanie liked it. Although Melanie was crying at one point but I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the corniness. I'm pretty critical of movies (I got that from my sister) so that may have been my problem but I don't recommend this movie to anyone.

Fort Smith Airshow

Yesterday we went to the air show with Katie and Colby. There boss is a col. there at the fort smith base and he gave them VIP passes to watch the show. They were kind enough to ask Joe and I to go. It was lots of fun and the weather was perfect. We sat out there watching the airplanes for 6 hours. Thank goodness Katie brought her sunscreen but we were stupid enough to just put it on our feet and then once we noticed we were burning after 5 hours of sitting outside it was too late and so here are our results (the pictures don't do justice as to how burn we really are)I burned on my one arm, and neck. Joe burned on the top of his head (which is now blistering due to 2nd degree burn), and face which he seriously looked like a tomato last night. I couldn't even look at him without laughing hysterically. Katie burned her arms, chest, and knees. And Colby burned his bottom legs and he got a little red on his face. It was all worth it though, watching Joe and Colby act like little boys talking about the airplanes and getting excited was priceless. Now we can't wait till the blue angels in Oct.

Look at the guy behind me. We couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. what's your guess?

Cinco De Mayo

For YEARS I have wanted to have a Cinco De Mayo party so this year Melanie and I actually made it happen. We invited pretty much everyone we know over and had them all bring one thing and made a party out of it. Joe grilled some carne asada and we had some mean carne asada burrito things (can you tell i'm no mexican). We of course broke out the croquet and horse shoes as our entertainment and we just hung out had a good time. It was probably one of the funnest parties I've ever had. Better yet it was the only party i've ever had. Joe bought 7 pounds of carne asada so we are still eating it. So if your craving any meat come on over!

Aubrey's Engaged!

So most of you already know partly because it's taken me over a week to post this blog but she is officially engaged and will be married on August 1st 2008 in Salt Lake. I have been dreaming of this day my whole life. I just can't believe how grown up Aubrey has gotten. I remember as if it was yesterday her beating me with papers while we fought during our paper routes and her not sharing her crayons because she was saving them till next christmas. She has turned out to be a beautiful person inside and out. hahaha! Aubs you know I love ya! No really though Joe and I are so excited for her and we can't wait to meet this lover of hers. We have only seen pictures and heard great things about him. His name is Kyle and he is from somewhere in Idaho. (Idaho U da ho) He has brown hair......haha I'm all trying to act like I know him but I really don't. Anyway, we are excited and can't wait to make another trip this summer to see them get hitched.

Toad Suck Daze

The first weekend of May is Toad Suck Daze here in good ole Conway, Arkansas. Joe ran his first race ever in the Toad Suck 5k with our nephew and niece Cooper and Mckenna. They all did really well. They finished I think around 35 min. After the race Joe and I tried to get an early start on the actual Toad Suck Daze. We left our house around 10:45 am thinking we would beat the crowd but we didn't it was pretty packed already. We only go for our once a year cravings. I always get a funnel cake and a chocolate covered banana. As for Joe he loves him some fried twinkies. We only go for about 3o min. just for the food and then we leave. It was lots of fun and we can't wait for next year!
