My Eleven Facts:

1.  I hate talking on the phone.  If you know me well, you are already well aware of this.  I just hate it!  Since I've gotten my Blackberry, texting has made communication so much better.  So, if you call and I don't say too much, don't take it personally!

2.  Another hate (but one Matt loves about me!  :) ) - I hate to shop!  Hate it!!  My mom and sister wish badly that I weren't this way.  And I don't know where I inherited this.  Because my dad likes to shop as well.  I don't know if it has anything to do with me not liking to spend money, but girls, don't ask me to go shopping with you.  I may say yes, but I will be miserable the whole time!!

3.  I love to scrapbook, but I never do it any more.  I dream of one day having a scrapbooking room at another house.  It would be awesome!

4.  In college, I took a test to tell me what career path I should go down since I had no idea.  Some of the top choices were construction worker and landscape architect.  Being a teacher was no where on the list.  When I took my personality test, it also said that teaching would not suit my personality!  :)  But alas, that is what I chose to do!

5.  I've always wanted to own a Hummer and a Ford Mustang.  Neither of these will ever happen unless I win the lottery which I don't play...

6.  I don't like the ocean or lakes.  I do prefer creeks or rivers.  Whitewater rafting and tubing are my adventure sports.  :)

7.  My favorite candy is Resees cups or Snickers.  My favorite drink is Diet Dr. Pepper.  Frosty's from Wendy's make everything better.  I always have a box of brownies in my pantries for emergency chocolate needs.

8.  In high school I decided that I wanted to marry a youth minister.  Not really thinking this would ever happen until I fell for Matt. 

9.  Each morning before work (I only work one day a week), I go to Chick Fil A and get a buttered biscuit and hashbrowns.

10.  I take WAY too much Tylenol and Ibuprofen (when I'm not preggo).  My heating pad is also my best friend.

11.   I hate cooking, baking, and grocery shopping.  I do it only to survive and because I like to eat!


Erin's Eleven Questions:


1. What would your dream vacation be?

- to go back to Italy.  I studied abroad in college without Matt, and I've always wanted to take him back over.  It will definitely happen, just not anytime soon!
2. If you had a whole day with no electronics… what would you do?

- READ!!!  I LOVE to read.  I can read for hours if it is a good book.

3. What is your favorite meal… what you would ask for on your birthday?

- I love chicken parm from Olive Garden.  And then top it off with cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory.
4. What makes you feel closest to God?

- when I am struggling as a mother.  I feel as though I have prayed more since becoming pregnant with Cooper than at any other time in my life.  I have never felt more helpless and rely on HIM for guidance.  I seriously do not know how people do parenthood without HIM!
5. What do you do to keep your feet warm at night? (Mine are ALWAYS freezing!)

- mine are always hot!  :)

6. Pepsi or Coke? Why?

- Diet Dr. Pepper or Coke Zero.  I can't stand the taste of regular!  (Sorry Erin!  :) )
7. Name one thing in nature that makes you happy every time you see it.

- flowers or butterflies.  I know that's two, but I couldn't choose.
8. What’s the most physically challenging thing you have ever done?

- well if we aren't counting labor (come on, you know we should get a medal for that!), then I guess it would be training and running a half-marathon.  I did this in college my junior year.  I wish I had kept up with it!
9. What is the best gift you have ever received?

- my engagement ring.  It is so perfect for me.  And oddly enough, I would have never picked it out, but as soon as Matt slipped it on my finger, it was perfect.  I can't imagine having a different ring.  It suits my personality so well.  My husband really knows me!!
10. What’s your idea of a great date?

- right now, anywhere without Cooper!  It doesn't take much to make me and Matt happy on a date these days.  And it is even better if we can stay over-night in a hotel.  That really makes me happy!!
11. Warm or cold weather? Why?

- definitely cold weather.  If I lived up north, this would not be the answer.  But since I live in Alabama, winter is not really winter.  We can still get out and do things.  And the warm weather in Alabama is sweltering!  Unless you are in the water, you don't go outside in the heat of the summer.
