5 Things

Here are 5 random things that you may or may not know about me.

1. I'm totally not into music. Don't get me wrong, I love music such as orchestra, symphony, percussion, or choir. What I mean when I say that I'm not into music is that I almost never turn music on in my car or at home. The reason that I say almost never is because I listen to music during the holiday season. Speaking of which, the Christmas station starts on Nov. 1! WOO!

2. I don't really like movies. I can name the movies that I like on one hand and I can't remember the last time that I went to the theater. I almost never watch movies. The reason that I say almost never is because I watch movies during the holiday season. What's up with me and Christmas? Anyway, movies usually make me feel like junk so I don't waste my time or money.

3. I think about Germany everyday. My experience there impacted my life more than I could have imagined. I gained a lot of wonderful things from the time I spent there. The greatest benefit was one of my dearest friends. She will be an important part of the rest of my life no matter how far apart we live.

4. I want to be just like my big sister. Most girls that have big sisters probably feel this way but I especially do. I think I've looked up to my big sister my whole life. Even when she told me that I was a robot or that my parents had wished that I was a boy, I thought she was awesome. I have the best big sister out there and I would be willing to bet money on that fact.

5. I have this thing for Chick-fil-a. To the point where I once actually drove all the way to Toledo, Ohio in hopes of finding one. Pathetic, I know...especially since I never found a Chick-fil-a there. Maybe it's just because we don't have it here in Michigan that it's become more special than it actually is. It's just a good Christian business that happens to have delicious food. If you've never been, you're probably better off never going because it will become a new obsession. Plus, you'll have to drive further than Toledo to find one.

4 Months

I don't get much time on the computer these days which is why I haven't been posting much. I have 5 posts half way started that I'm hoping to complete in the next week. Wish me luck : ) Most importantly, I need to give a little 4 month update on the X-man.

- Although he's still quite serious, he's smiling and laughing a lot more.

- He rolls and rolls and rolls...when he feels like it.

- He weighs close to 18 lbs.

- He got to meet his Aunt Nave (more details in a post that is to come (see above)).

- He hates camera flashes, when people blow their nose, and anything that crinkles. When I say hate I mean HATE. He is terrified of these things and cries uncontrollably because of them.

- He still loves being outside even though it's colder out now. He really enjoys being all bundled up.

- He likes to do these really high pitched screams. He thinks it's hilarious.

- He's getting close to outgrowing his infant car seat, bath tub, swing, and changing table. Then what are we going to do?

- He's the most handsome kid we've ever seen : )
