Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day. -Ann Landers

And the fun continues...

So this year just like the two years before we hosted our annual Halloween party. I must say that the funness has finally caught on...if you actually dress up it makes the party more fun :)

So this year we had great turn out, and tonz of fabulous costumes. Here's just a peek at who was there:

Little Red Ridding hood, and the Big Bad Wolf were there: Chris and Shianne Dredge won this year's "Best Costume" award.
Also there from left to right we had a couple from Mexico (Lauren and Tyler Hicks), Me and Andy, A flower and bumble bee (Rachel and Wesley), A Chinese couple, A polygamist couple (Brett and Lisa Healey), Little Red Ridding hood and the wolf, and a couple of Nerds.

Here we have my parents... they dressed up as grandparents...get it hahaha. Us and Wes and Rachel.

We played tonz of games, and were exhausted by the end of the night!

Thanks to everyone who came, until next time....

Quirks

My cousins cute wife tagged me for this one and I just had to laugh. As I was reading about her quirks and giggling, I thought 'gee I have so many what would I say..' then I saw at the bottom of hers that she tagged me...thanks Catherine :)

So here are the rules...Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yourself and tag 6 fellow bloggers. Here we go:

1) I HATE waking up in the mornings, every morning after I turn off my alarm clock I say: "Ugh I hate waking up." Andy just laughs every time, and says "I know you do, good morning." Then I just glare at him for being so happy and bouncy right when he wakes up.

2) I have to plan everything in advance, it does not matter what it is or what's going on. It has to be planned. I don't 'go with the flow' very well, unless I've planned time for the flow. Andy has learned this the hard way, I've really tried to get better but recently I think it's gotten worse. I hate when plans change, and stress when things don't go according to plan. I know welcome to life.

3) I love the rain, and cold weather. I love the cool air as it slaps you in face and how it hurts your lungs if you breath in too quickly. I would much rather be cold than hot, I hate being hot! I usually don't wear a coat in the winter because I love to feel the freezing cold through my clothes.

4) I have weekly rules for my hair. Only twice a week can I wear it straight, twice wear it curly, and the other three days I can pull it back. I've been like that since junior high and I guess it just sort of stuck.

5) I am a locked door freak. I have to have the doors locked at all times, when I get home shut the door and lock it. When I get in my car first I do is lock the doors. I have to double and sometimes triple check the doors before I go to bed to make sure that all the doors are locked and dead bolted. Then when I'm ready for bed I lock our bedroom door. Andy's been 'locked out' on accident a few times. You can never have too many locks!

6) Lastly, I worry way too much. I think that the worst possible thing could happen all the time. If I can't get a hold of Andy on his cell phone, Reality: the batteries probably dead, or he's just really busy. My world: He's lying dead in the road somewhere. It's almost ridiculous, I've loosened up a lot since I've been married. It used to be so much worse.

Okay so wow if you read all that...
I tag: Megan Anderson, Lisa Healey, Andrea Griggs, Rachel Stuker, and Heidi Wing.

Excitment

What are little BOYS made of?
Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of!

If you didn't guess it, we just found out yesterday that we are indeed having a little boy. We couldn't be more excited, Andy was certain that it was a girl. I knew all along that it was a boy. I always wanted to have a little boy first, and I got my wish!!!
March 2nd feels like a lifetime to have to wait but, I know time will fly on by!
