Fast Fact Friday

Thank you Shelby for reminding me.

We are still as busy as ever around here, but life is about to get a little less stressful! We are almost done with the yearbook. I just have to work on the index and then we'll have it. I am so excited! I am glad to be done with it for a few months, before we start back up again!

I can't say I am very good with movies, but we'll give it a whirl!


1.  What was the last movie you saw in the theaters?
2.  What was the last movie you watched at home?
3.  Who is your favorite movie star?
4.  What movie can you watch over and over again and not get sick of it?
5.  What movie will you never watch again?


1. Um... I am thinking it was Breaking Dawn Part One. While I liked it, I found it so disturbing. The special effects were too good. :) Looking at Bella made me ill. I kind of would like to see it again, just for fun.

2. Meet the Robinson's. Seriously, Gage loves it. He begs for it. :)

3. It seems to be what ever actress/actor I am watching at the moment. I am guessing in a few weeks it will be Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. ;)

4. Blue Crush (and many other romantic comedies)

5. The Lord of the Rings. All of them. Kill me now. I slept through an entire movie in the theater. Best nap I ever had.

Can you tell that movies are not my thing? Weird, I know.

Fast Fact Friday (late, of course)

Shelby even texted to remind me that it was Fast Fact Friday. I was excited! I was going to do it the minute I got home. Instead? I packed, got in the car and drove to St. George so that I could attend my Uncle and Aunts sealing. Their beautiful daughter was sealed to their forever family. I love adoption. I may or may not have sobbed while I was sitting in the Temple listening. I was remembering the feelings of the day Gage was sealed to us. What a blessing. Saturday was an amazing day and I am so thankful I was able to attend. So happy for you guys! Love you!

It was so great to catch up with family that I don't see often.

SO here we are, fast fact friday!


Questions:
1.  How do you like your chocolate?
2.  What dessert or treat can you never say "no" to?
3.  What is your favorite meal?
4.  Which food do you dislike the most?
5.  What do you think is the healthiest thing in your pantry right now?

1. Chocolate. Hmm... that is a tricky one. I have a love/hate relationship with Chocolate. Most of the time, I don't love it. Other times, I just want chocolate. I could never go out and buy a candy bar and eat it though. Ew. I do love chocolate covered pretzels, but I am very picky about them too. Chocolate shakes are my favorite, but they cannot be creamy. I do not like creamy. I usually have to have something with my chocolate. No plain chocolate here.

Confused? Me too. :)

2. Most. Seriously. I love dessert. My favorite is probably ice cream or an oreo shake. Okay, so as I sit here and think, I am picky about dessert too. I won't eat most baked goods (besides cookies, I love cookies). Apparently I am just plain picky.

3. Favorite meal would probably by my chicken parmigiana. Again, I am picky. I won't eat any Italian food unless I make it. If we go out to eat, I would never order pasta. Pizza is hard because I am a pizza snob.

4.  Mushrooms and yucky ham. (Yes, there is a good ham. Before this, I never thought as myself as a picky eater.)

5. Um... probably flax oatmeal. Or something like that. :)

Fast Fact Friday (Tuesday)

We all know my blogging habit is lacking. Especially since my camera phone no longer works. Sad day. (I can get a new phone in three months. I will start back up then! :)

My favorite friend Shelby posted a Fast Fact Friday on her blog. Perfect way to remind me to blog, right? Shelby will remind me! (right, Shelby?)

So here we go!

Week 1 Questions:

1.  How long have you lived at your current residence?
2.  What is the exact shade of your favorite color?
3.  How much sleep do you get at night?
4.  Have you ever been able to do the splits?
 5.  What is your favorite breakfast?

1. We have lived in our current home for just over 7 years. I don't mind our house, but I do hope that someday we can upgrade to something a little newer and a little larger. If all else fails, I would like to add on and maybe invest in city sewer. Someday. :)

2. My favorite color? Black. It's the only color I like consistently. We are hoping to paint our house this summer. A dark grey (almost black), white trim, and a yellow door. I am excited about that. I hope it looks good! We've had the plan for two years and haven't painted anything yet. It better happen this summer! I already bought the yellow and the white back when.

3. I generally go to bed around 1:00 a.m. Sometimes much later. I hate going to bed. If I have to work, I wake up at 6:40 a.m. If I don't, usually it's 7-7:30 a.m. Lately I have been going to bed at midnight. I've been exhausted.

4. Um... no. I have always been really flexible though. Maybe I could have if I would have tried. ;)  I always did really well in the flexibility test in Fitness for Life. It made up for my terrible scores in running.

5. I love breakfast foods. This is hard one. I love breakfast burritos, eggs and toast, hash browns, german pancakes, bacon, pancakes, waffles. I basically love all breakfast foods, as long as I make them. :) (Except sausage. Ew)

Well, that's it for this edition of Fast Fact Tuesday. Make sure you remember to remind Shelby to remind me to blog, okay?

I haven't given up...

on blogging yet.

My camera on my phone is no longer working... so there goes my photo a day (for now). I was enjoying that!

We have had a really busy couple of weeks. I have been working far too much (ha ha) and it most likely will continue for the next couple of months. It's that time of year for teachers to take time off, apparently. Today has been spent trying to catch up on my house. We won't talk about how long the dishes had been sitting in the sink. But, the laundry is done and it's not even Laundry Monday, so just maybe I will find some time next week.

Gage has been crazy funny. The kid keeps me laughing. That is a good thing, otherwise I might be crying. Oh the life as a parent of a toddler. I do love it. I am, however, thankful for bedtime. (That means lots of kisses! ha ha!) He has become so affectionate. He is a complete Mommy's boy and the cutest trouble maker around. I don't know how toddlers learn so much so fast, but he amazes me everyday with everything he knows. He never stops talking and singing. He looooves to dance and I wish I could get it on video. It's the best. He is completely camera shy though and it is nearly impossible to get a photo or video of him. He loves to help and even more he loves to make messes. He cannot stand it if we do not get up and throw the diaper in the garbage the moment we take it off. It's a HUGE deal to him. He makes sure we do things just how he likes them. ;) If we don't, he makes sure we know about it. He says HI to everyone we meet or walk by and then follows up with a BYE as we continue walking. The kid has more personality than I know what to do with and I love it. Never a dull moment.

So that's it for my random thoughts. I hope to try again soon. :)
