Well it’s that time again, kidos! Time for my weekly list of 13. Here’s a list of things you may or may not know about our little family.
Thursday 13
1. Steven and I love to play card games and board games together. Our favorites are Scrabble, Uno, and Spades. He has beaten me at Scrabble twice, and I will never be allowed to forget it. 🙂
2. Steven is re-roofing our house by himself! It looks darn good, too. I’m helping, but I don’t have the carpentry skills. My job is to keep him company, keep him fed, and make sweet tea. : ) Oh, and I get to pick up old shingles.
3. Minnie Pearl has the worst gas of any dog I have ever met! It’s horrible. We’ve even changed her food; it doesn’t matter. She’s just a silent-but-deadly, stinky dog. One night, I honestly sat straight up in bed, freaking out. I thought she had gone to the bathroom in my bedroom floor. Nope! She was sound asleep at my feet!
4. We’ve been married 4 months, and I have only ordered a few 4×6 prints of our professional wedding photos. I have even designed an album and haven’t ordered it yet.
5. Steven didn’t like country music before we met. I converted him. I’m pretty sure when I met him, never in a million years would he have thought he’d ever be excited about Johnny Cash and bluegrass music.
6. I hated bluegrass music when I was younger, but now I really like it. My dad tried SO hard to get my sister and I into, but we resisted. It didn’t last forever though. We got sucked in eventually. I’m pretty sure one of my dad’s proudest moments was when I told him I wanted to go to a bluegrass concert. He took me to see The Peasall Sisters! I got to meet them, too!
7. Steven can do the splits.
8. I wanted to sing with the praise band at church since I was about 13, but I was too chicken. It took my dad forcing me when I was about 17. Now I love it! I just hope my children sing better than I do.
9. When I was 7 or 8 I caught a minnow in the ditch at my Big’s house. I named “her” Kelly and kept her in a small tank in my room. I was really sad when she got too big, and I had to set her free. I was really concerned that she wouldn’t know how to catch her own food or that someone would catch her and eat her! haha, I’m sure someone would want to eat a nasty ditch fish…
10. Steven has a piece of metal lodged in his arm from a hammer.
11. Steven, myself, and 3 of our 4 pets sleep in a full size bed.
12. I’m trying to learn to sew. So far, I stink at it.
13. I’m pretty sure the staff at the Urgent Care on Stadium remembers Steven every time he comes in. If not, they take a look at his file and it comes back to them. He’s been there for a few random/strange injuries (see #10). The last time he was there because he was sick, and the doctor asked me if he’d been skateboarding lately. haha
my sister’s dog has bad gas. to this, she says: i have to feed him organic plain yogurt with his dog food because he has bad gas, and it helps his tummy.
