Show and Tell Tuesday's- How we met

I love this series show and tell. Sometimes prompted writing is nice and easy on the brain.

Linking up with Andrea!

This August Michael and I will have been together for 7 years and married for 6. 
Yes we only knew each other for a year before we got married. It worked for us.

So how we met. Well we both grew up in a small town and went to the same school and only lived two miles from each other so we did grow up together just 9 years apart. He was a senior when I was in third grade and when you put it that way it sounds really weird but we met many years later at the local bar. I was 21 he was 29 (just two month shy of 30)

My best friend was bar tending and since I was in town for the weekend between traveling for work I stopped in to see her. I was outside catching up with some people from high school when I saw this guy walking in the bar. I thought he was cute so I yelled to him something super cheesy like "Have a good night!" He looked at me like I was crazy and said "Oh I will", and walked in the bar.

I went  back in and was talking to my bestie when I decided to play the juke box. I turned to go put my money in and who was there already but the guy from outside! He couldn't get his $5 to go in so when he walked away (to exchange his bill) I ran over there to get my money in. He yelled at me and then karma happened my $5 wouldn't work either. However I used to work at said bar and went behind it to the tip jar and exchanged my $5 and his too. We raced back to the juke box and agreed to both put our money in and go every other song. Then he bought me a drink and we talked all night. It was like I had met my best friend. 

He took my number called the next day I ignored the call because I was very tainted about relationships and chose to wait it out. 2 weeks later I walked into that same bar and there he was, and we have been inseparable every since. True love it was. 



4 months later in December after working late I came to his house where he had made me dinner. BLT's because bacon is my love language. We got done with dinner and trying to decide on a movie when he started talking to me about how he was so happy and for this first time he felt like he was home and then get took out a ring and said "will you marry me?" I didn't even look at the ring or say yes I just hugged and kissed him and cried. After a few seconds he said "are you even going to answer me?" Of course I said yes and we spent the night talking about our future. I loved my proposal because it was just us. It was perfect. He even told me after I said yes that he had gone that night and talked to both of my parents to get permission. Obviously they said yes!

We were married 8 months later on August 29th almost a year exactly to when we officially became a couple.

God knew what he was doing when he placed that man in my life. He changed my course forever I was on the verge of moving to New Jersey and then who knows what would have happened. God's timing is amazing and always right.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
