Okay all, I have nothing to talk about today, but because of my Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies with the nest, I just HAAAD to post anyway. What a goof. Anyway, since I am lacking in creativity I thought I would pull from Christina’s and fill out her Fun with Forwards. I got started, and then realized how terrible I am at filling these things out because I have about 3 million “favorite” things that change with my mood and the day… so while I tried to be as consistent as possible, ask me the same questions 6 month from now and who knows what you’ll get! J

What were you doing ten years ago?
In October of 1995 I was in my first semester of being a Seventh grader. I was twelve years old and finally in junior high! April D. was my best friend and we were totally inseparable.  I had the biggest crush on “WW” and I would stay Seventh hour any chance I could so we could practice our cellos together (what a dork). Yes, that’s right, I was an “orch dork.” Seventh grade was lots of fun and I did lots of learning. It was the days of “knowing everything” and figuring out where I fit.

What were you doing five years ago?
October 2000 was the best. I was in my senior year of high school and having more fun than ever. High school was so much fun! I was involved in a million activities that constantly had me on the go. My best friend was Sarah C. and every Friday night during the fall we would have a date out to dinner before going to cheer our on our Wolverines! My h.s. football team was on its way to state, and I was dating “SS,” the guy I ended up dating for 2 ½ years.

What were you doing one year ago?
During October 2004 I was into my last semester of college. I was taking my fun and easy classes since I was almost done, so things were pretty calm. I was working in the transcripts department and everyday was so much fun there. I worked with the greatest group of girls. Will and I had been married for 7 months and Will was serving as youth minister at Central. This job kept us very busy. Every Saturday we would load up and drive to Norman for OU game day, which was the highlight of the week. Afterwards we would eat at Ted’s- the best Mexican place in Oklahoma. Last year was lots of fun. I did lots of learning as I became more of a wife and began to contemplate just what I wanted to do with my life once I graduated.

Five of your favorite snacks-

(this is so embarrassing because you will think I eat nothing of nutritional value… sorry guys, I’m being honest with the below list! But I promise I do eat healthy and these 5 things aren’t on my daily menu… at least not all together at the same time. )
1 - Cereal
2 - Chocolate
3 – French Fries
4 – Pasta
5 – Thin crust cheese pizza

Five favorite bands or musicians

(I have a million. Like I said- I’m never good at narrowing anything like this down because I have way too many things I like…so here are just a few…)
1 - Radiohead
2 - Incubus
3 - Trapt

4- Passion cds (this Christian conference every year that comes out with awesome worship cds)
5 – Charlie Hall

Five things you’d do with $1,000,000
1 - Tithe
2 –Save/Invest a LOT of it so we could retire really early and live off what we have acquired
3 – Buy a beautiful lake home and decorate it
4 – Buy Will his GMC truck and whatever it is that I want to drive forever… I should probably factor in about $999,000 of it for gas money, right!?
5 – Give money for Will to shop for football cards and OU memorabilia, and then take a portion and have a hey day at the Limited.

Five places you’d like to run away to
1 – Maine in autumn, I would so love a fall foliage
2 – England’s countryside, when it is cool and misty and foggy
3 - Home
4 – Italy

5 - A big cozy log cabin in the woods when it is cold and drizzly outside and we’re warm and snuggly inside. <3

Five of your biggest fashion faux pas

Just 5!!!?? Man… okay…
1 – Wearing clothes that were too big. Not freakishly big or anything, but a little big and thinking they actually fit- how weird
2 – Large t-shirts tucked in, worn with a belt and with loafers and white socks… why didn’t someone stop me before I walked out the door!?
3 – This dorky Christmas vest- I even wore it in junior high! What is REALLY embarrassing is that my mom wore it after I finally got rid of it… that is something you NEVER want to see as an adolescent hormonal girl- your mom loving your clothes.
4 – Permed hair… what were we thinking?

5- Big chunky plastic rings

Five favorite TV shows, past and present
1 – KING OF QUEENS- admit it, you want the box set too. ha ha

2 – Nigella Bites
3 – Beverly Hills 90210- I had the biggest crush on Dylan

4 – Semi-Homemade, Paula’s Homecookin’… almost EVERYTHING on the FoodNetwork
5 – Home and Away (currently a new show I like. I’ll be honest and say I don’t think it is an all time favorite, but it is a show I Really like at the moment. It’s this Australian soap)

Five biggest joys in your life
1 – My salvation and faith in Jesus ( <--just type in my name)
2 – Willy!!!!!
3 – The thought of going home for Christmas and seeing family and friends and doing a million things that we miss while we’ve been in Kuwait

4 – Lazy weekends with Will

5 –Being my crazy self with the people I love and laughing for hours

Five favorite toys
1 – THE NEST (wow. That’s a shocker)
2 – Our DVD player- it is the only thing we use on the weekends!
3 – Boxsets of our favorite shows
4 – Our Kuwaiti living allowance!!!!
5 - I can’t think of anything else… I can list a few toys I WANT, but all I can think of right now are the first 4. 

So that’s pretty much it. Not much left to say, like I said today was pretty boring! J

Hope you are having a good day back.
