Tag your it!

So two of my dear friends (and right now I use that term loosely - just kidding) have tagged me. Rachel and Laurel have decided I need to share a bit more about myself and Jamie - so here it goes.

From Rachel-
7 Random things about me.
These are 7 things about me that are most likely not known by the readers. I wish I could think of something more juicy, but I think lack of sleep is getting to me. Here I go.

1. I have bungee jumped, not once but twice. The scary part is not going down but the feeling of being pulled back up. We have all fallen, but few have been pulled back up with a bungee cord.

2. I secretly always wanted to be a race car driver. Now if you have ever been in a car with me driving, you would laugh at this one. I rarely go more than 5 over the speed limit and have yet to receive a speeding ticket. Yet I want to race cars fast someday.

3. Based on the above secret desire, sometimes I like to watch Nascar races, but mostly just for the crashes. I do not want anyone to get hurt, I just love to see them crash.

4. I really like to cook if I have the time and am in the mood. I am not sure if I am a good cook or not, I do know that Jamie has put on 20 pounds since we met though - probably not a good thing.

5. My worst grade in high school was in cooking. Imagine that. How do you not do well in a cooking class?

6. I never watched an episode of Seinfeld when it was popular, come to think of it, I am not sure if I still have watched a full episode.

7. Finally, I use to love to watch Dukes of Hazzard on Friday nights. My sister Shelly and I would argue over who got to marry Bo Duke and who got to marry Luke Duke. What were we thinking?

and now onto Laurel-
I have to complete the following survey about my husband. So here we go, Jamie and I would probably disagree on most answers though ;).

1. What is his name? Jamie
2. How old is he? 36 - he is older than me by 1 month and 9 days
3. Who eats more? He does, except when I was pregnant I could put some food down.
4. Who is taller? He is, by about 4 inches.
5. Who sings better? Wow, neither of us sing well. Although he loves American Idol!
6. Who is smarter? Depends, he would say he is, but we are both smart, just in different ways (I think that is the politically correct way to answer that - after all he does read this blog).
7. Whose temper is worse? We both have a bit of a temper, it takes a lot to get mine going but it is there, he on the other hand does not like to lose and has a bit of temper issues when it comes to that.
8. Who does the laundry? Me for sure, Jamie never would separate his clothes before I came around - everything was gray.
9. Who does the dishes? Again me
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does.
11. Who pays the bills? Again me
12. Who mows the lawn? He officially does, but I have done it and have been told that the lines are not straight when I mow.
13. Who cooks dinner? Me, me, me.
14. Who drives when you are together? He does, see above my secret desire to race cars.
15. Who is more stubborn? We both are again, but I say Brady gets his stubbornness from his dad.
16. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Neither, we are both stubborn.
17. Whose parents do you see the most? Probably mine since they live closer, but we see his for longer periods of time.
18. Who kissed who first? He kissed me.
19. Who asked who out? He asked me out.
20. Who proposed? He proposed, finally after 4 years.
21. Who is more sensitive? Me for sure, no doubt about it.
22. Who has more friends? That is a tough one, I would say it is probably equal based on our friends around the country, but he has more locally.
23. Who wears the pants in the family? Well, it is a good thing that pants have two legs, because then we can each wear the pants part of the time.

So there we go, you have gotten to know a bit about me and Jamie both in one blog.

As far as someone else completing these, lucky Rachel and Laurel, you are the only 2 I know that have blogs, so I am tagging you to complete and pass on as well. Rachel, let us know about Chad and Laurel, what are 7 random things about you.

Hope everyone is well.

We are mobile now!

First, for those who read my blog regularly (not sure how many that is) I apologize for the delay in posting, I guess it has just gotten away from me. I also do not have any new pics to post, I promise they too will come soon.

Now on to the happenings. Brady has started to walk, yes my days of sanity are over (or did that happen when I met Jamie???). Brady took his first 4 steps on October 10, from his Dad to me. Each day we work on his walking, he is getting better. However, he tends to get so excited when he is walking over that he usually falls after 3 or 4 steps. He also likes to lunge for things which scares the daylights out of me.

It is hard for me to believe that in just over 3 weeks Brady is going to be 1. Time sure does fly. I guess I will have to get working on planning his birthday party. We will take lots of pictures.

We have also entered the rainy season up here. 7 day weather forecast is rain each and every day. Now those not too familiar with the pacific northwest, that is just not a few sprinkles, but a good downpour a couple of times and drizzling the remainder of the day. I am already looking forward to the end of the season in April and we are 2 days into it.

Rachel - I have not forgotten to do my 7 things people don't know about me, I just have to figure them out. I will post those later.

Hope everyone is well. Until next time....
