25 Random things about me

I have also seen this going around on facebook, Ali and Becca brought it to the blog, so I guess I will partake.

1. I am becoming very annoyed/tired of facebook, people update their status everytime they blink.

2. I love holding my girl dog, Charlie, like an infant baby; if I had a rocking chair I would rock her.

3. I love the smell of my dogs' faces, and rubbing my nose to theirs'.

4. I love boy names for girls (which is why Charlie is Charlie).

5. My husband proposed to me half naked, which is SO Cory and I love it.

6. I don't like walking around barefoot, must have socks.

7. I LOVE seeing my dog Chase's nub tail wag, just knowing he is happy gives me one of the best feelings in the world. Cory and I ALWAYS point out to eachother when it wags. (Most Bostons don't have tails).

8. I hate the side profile of my face.

9. I love eating plain pasta while cooking an italian meal, it grosses Cory out - that and cake batter.

10. I love picking out and giving Cory gifts - anything to see those dimples when he smiles.

11. I don't like to read.

12. I love receiving flowers.

13. I drink way too much soda and not near enough water.

14. I have lived in my house for almost 8 months and still have not decorated.

15. I am very hot-natured, and can't stand to sweat unless I am working out.

16. Swimsuit season stresses me out more than anything....especially this year since I will be a whale.

17. I can't stand football...ok not the actual sport, but the hype that surrounds it and how it RUNS peoples' lives from August to January...and makes grown up men get into fights (drunk men). - I mean come on! Grow up!

18. I need a maid/cleaning service, but Cory won't let me hire one. I don't like cleaning bathrooms and cleaning floors, etc...so obviously it doesn't get done often enough.

19. I get carsick pretty easily, always have.

20. I hope my baby has Cory's beautiful brown eyes.

21. I constantly worry about Cory's safety, he is on the road A LOT.

22. I don't think I could ever get tired of watching Sex and the City, everyone who knows me will agree.

23. I love bad weather, not that it can bring harm to people but the science of it, its fascinating.

24. I love being sunburned just a little to have some color.

25. The best moment of my life was also on the worst day of my life- when we were told that there may be something wrong with our baby - the Dr. left us alone for a bit and I cried, and Cory just hugged me and told me that this is OUR baby and we would love it no matter what. And I felt so lucky to have such a sweet man to share my life with, and knew that we would be ok.

My new look

So I got my hair cut short the other day. I like it so far, still learning how to fix it. I typically like my hair long but these days I can't get up in time to fix long hair, I have fallen into a rut of wearing in a wet pony tail to work. So I needed something to get me excited about fixing it again.

Back from Christmas!

We started our own traditions this year since it was our 1st Christmas in our house. On Christmas Eve, Cory and I ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast, watched Christmas movies all day and decorated a Gingerbread house. We also made Christmas shaped cookies. It was nice, I can't wait until our little one is here! Then we visited my sisiter, Scott and Andrew on Christmas Day- Cory fell in love with guitar hero and now realtes every song we hear to that game. Then to Berry then to C-ville. The baby racked up on gifts too, my mom got some pacifiers, a Christmas outfit for next year, a little stuffed lamb, and some cloth diapers that she will have monogrammed later on. Cory's mom gave us some bibs, Caroline and Scott gave us some money, Becca gave us a book, and Misty and Shawn gave us a Christmas baby blanket. I didn't expect all of that, but it was a nice surprise! We also racked up on Home Depot gift certificates so we will be able to do some work to fix up our house. I didn't get any pics of Andrew; we were so preoccupied with Charlie escaping from the deck, I forgot to bring my camera in, so I am hoping my sis will post one.

THANKFUL

I saw on another blog a list of things she was thankful for and thought it was a good idea to write it down. So here's my list:

I am thankful for:

1. My wonderful husband who is so good to me even when I don't deserve it, I am so lucky to share my life with him, I love you Cory!

2. My sweet dogs Chase and Charlie, I don't know what life would be like if they weren't there to greet me every day when I come home; they always want to be near me and snuggle with me and I look forward to that everyday.

3. I have such a great family that I get to spend Thanksgiving with!

4. I am thankful to have a house that I adore and love to come home to.

5. Great friends that I also get to see this weekend.

6. A great job that I am so lucky to have, I could not ask for better co-workers, some of which have become my closest friends that I can always lean on (Kelly and Ali- I love you!) and a kick- a$$ boss who is so easy to work with, get along with, who's fun and cares about me.

7. And finally for the blog world; it has been so nice reconnecting with old friends!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Just Couldn't Wait!

Last weekend we put up all of our Christmas Decorations, it was so fun and we were the 1st in the neighborhood! We overheard some kids saying " Look they have Christmas lights up ALREADY!" It was funny!
