A Whole Bunch of Randomness

I'm really trying to get back into regular blogging - I promise! I'm really enjoying my summer and blogging has been the last thing on my mind. As you may know, Mat and I don't live the most glamorous of lives (which is fine) but I never have much to blog about. Well, today is different! I have a lot to say. Ha ha

First, I don't remember how I got to this blog exactly but please go check it out - Ward 57.
It is a blog created by Liz (who I don't really know but would love to meet) after her husband Dave was injured when he stepped on a land mine in Afghanistan. It tells how he is recovering at Walter Reed (in DC) and how they are doing. When I found this blog today, I sat down for like an hour and couldn't stop reading. Liz and Dave have only been married a year and are now dealing with this. I can't imagine what they are going through and its all because Dave was fighting for OUR freedom. So, show them that you care. Stop by their blog, leave a comment, and remember that there are many other soldiers out there like Dave who need our thoughts, prayers, and thanks.

Now switching directions completely, you have to try this! Go right now, make a bag of popcorn, put it in a ziploc bag, cover it with cinnamon and sugar, and shake it up really good. It is complete awesomeness in a bag! Yeah I think I just made up the word awesomeness. I'm sure that you've probably all made this before but I just did for the first time today. How did I ever live without it?!



Next, I love reading the blog, Jenna's Journey. She hosts "I Don't Wednesdays" in which you list things that you don't do (duh). So, I thought today I would join in on the fun.

*I don't know how I ever lived without cinnamon sugar popcorn. Ha ha.

*I don't have children unless you count my two spoiled rotten dogs.

*I don't like asparagus. My husband and I have this in common.

*I don't eat seafood. When I was a little girl I remember my mom giving me popcorn shrimp and fish sticks but I now hate all seafood. If it swims I just don't want to eat it.

*I don't like snakes, spiders, or bugs.

*I don't drink coffee. I LOVE some of the Frappucinos from Starbucks (Java Chip is my fav) but I don't drink "real" coffee.

*I don't know what I would do without my summers off. Even though I teach summer school, I love my summers!! How do people work at jobs when they have to work during the summer? Ha ha.

Well, I hope you enjoyed "I Don't Wednesday".

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!

P.S.- How many people have known that "Little" on my blog header is mispelled?! I've had it up for months and I just now realized it. I guess I have to tell Faith (the lady that created my blog design) to fix it because I surely don't know how.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Mat and I are celebrating our 4th Anniversary today. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by and how much our lives have changed in just 4 years.

Here are some pictures of us. Unfortunately I don't have any of our official wedding portraits on my computer. At least you get an idea of what we looked like on that day.
