TIM is 24!!!!

Today is my wonderful husband's bday! So in honor of his bday I thought I would share 24 facts about Tim:



1. He is an awesome drummer. Well ok everyone knows that...
2. He is the most patient person I know. Sometimes that makes me mad.
3. He goes to school full time,
4. works full time,
5. and has been on the Dean's list almost every semester. WOW.
6. He drives a car with no AC-and we live in Alabama where it is hot all year round.
7. He is very handy- he has installed new heating element in our water heater, built a shed in our backyard, fixed our toilet, fixed our plumbing, installed crown moulding, and fixed both of our cars on numerous occasions.
8. He loves Andy Griffith-I hate it.
9. He is a great gift giver. He buys me cute clothes.
10. He studies more than I ever thought about studying in college. EVERY night from 7-11PM. Crazy I know.
11. He is obsessed with the stock market. Well more obsessed really with researching stocks. The he tries to explain it to me. I smile and nod and pretend I am listening as I daydream.
12. He makes the best over-easy eggs I have ever tasted.
13. He says when we have kids he wants a boy first, but I know he secretly wants a girl.
14. He likes listening to books on cd when we go on road trips. Not action packed fiction books that keep you on the edge of your seat- books about Real Estate, Finance, the Stock Market, and Investing. I like them becuase they put me to sleep really fast.
15. He encourages me every day and keeps me going when I want to quit.
16.In High School he drove a Volvo station wagon, which for awhile smelled like fish guts-because some of his friends put fish guts IN the dashborad of the car to be funny. Kids at school smelled him coming from a mile away. Poor guy.
17. He used to have dreadlocks. They stunk. Thank God they are gone. (I will find a pic and post it)
18. He used to have gages in his ears-they were huge. He took them out about 4 years ago and they have closed up ALOT but he could still fit my earrings through his ears.
19. His alarm goes off every 5 minutes for about an hour every morning. It drives me nuts, but I am used to it now.
20. He is a pack rat. When we got married, we were going through a bunch of his boxes and I found his Trapper Keeper from 4th grade. 4th grade people. That was a LONG time ago. And when I tired to throw it out he said and I quote, " Don't throw that out, it has a lot of good notes in it!!!" I'm sure he is going to go back and study his 4th grade Science a lot... I threw it away.
21. He is very sweet and romantic and I love that about him.
22. He is very disciplined and I wish I could be more like him in that regard.
23. He plays hide and seek with Bear. It is cute.
24. He is the best husband and best friend I could have ever dreamed of!

Happy 24th Birthday Tim! I hope its the best year yet!!!!! I love you!

Friends...Bowling...and Birthdays....

WOW. I haven't blogged in forever. Not that anyone even reads this but whatev.

Alot has happened since I last blogged...

1. Bear and I finished Dog Obedience class with flying colors. He was great for about.....a week. No really he is ALOT better but there are still issues to work with him on like...don't run away from me when I take you outside. But I love him!

2. Our good friends Ryan and Elita Friesen had another baby! They already have Noah who is 3 and the cutest,smartest kid! They had Jackson Pete on July 28th and he is so little and cute! We are so excited for them!

3. Tim and I went to Auburn in August to visit Phillip and Deborah (who needs to start a blog b/c it would be hilarious!). It was so fun! Bear and their dog LuLu are in love, so they had fun playing non stop all weekend. it was so cute. Bear passed out on the way home and slept the whole way and for three days after! While we were there we went to Sylacauga, AL (about an hour outside of Auburn) to a lake house their friend owns. It was so fun! We went out in the boat, went jet skiing, flooded the jet ski and had to tow it back with the boat (it was hysterical), went horse back riding, and just hung out. It was so good to see them and their cute house.

Bear and LuLu sharing a bed...they are so scandalous.

4. My little sister left for college! She is a freshman at Southern Miss. I can't believe she is already in college! I remember when she came home from the hospital and all the years of torture Elissa and I put her through. haha-let's just say we did things like make her eat rabbit poop and we told her they were raisins and she would say "MMMMM Ray-Ray's". WOW we are mean.

5. My dad, who has been working in Mexico for the past year and a half, and only gets to come home about every 3 months :(, came in town for a visit! It was he and my mom's 27th anniversary. Cute. One night when he was here we all went bowling as a Family (everyone but Matt, JulieAnna, and Jonah), plus my nephews brought a friend, so there were 10 of us. I hadn't been bowling in forever so I didn't do so hot. My 10 year old nephew beat me. Sad. Elissa and Allan on the other hand are professionals. They even have their own bowling balls, shoes, and a handy dandy rolling bag. All they are missing is those hot bowling league shirts. HMMM maybe that's what I will get them for Christmas. I think even my mom did better than me. She has never played a sport in her life. It was quite hilarious to watch her bowl.

6. I turned 23!!!! I know that's not old at all but I feel like I am getting old. Tim was so sweet and got me flowers, cooked me breakfast, took me to dinner, and got me a Bissell Steam Vac (don't worry its not a clue for me to clean the house. I actually really wanted it!). I have already cleaned the couches and WOW they look amazing. I should be on an infomercial for it and they could show before and after pics of my couch. Its amazing the difference...now on to the living room rug.....

Bear and I on my birthday. He even got me a card. He is so sweet.

Well I guess that about does it for my 2 month update. Hopefully it won't be that long before I post again.....
