I've been tagged...

Ok NOT really, I just figured I would jump in while on a roll. But I don't blame anyone for not tagging me. I'm sure you wouldn't expect an answer.

List 6 quirks about yourself:
1. I ALWAYS have to be doing SOMETHING. I just can't sit and watch T.V or just sit and relax. I have to be folding laundry or cleaning, or finding something to do if there is nothing. Jeramy gets so frustrated with this sometimes because on sundays even though this is to be a day of rest. I find myself not enjoying just relaxing with him and taking an afternoon nap. (ok I might slip a nap in every so often) but for the most part I feel like my resting is just simply folding laundry or organizing something. I ALWAYS feel as though if I don't accomplish something than I'm worthless and my day is ruined. I don't know if I was like this growing up or not, but I really have to tell myself that sitting and enjoying relaxation with Jeramy is a GOOD thing and that it's ok.
2. To fall asleep at night, I have to lay on by back. Otherwise I can't fall asleep for hours it seems. But then I wake up on my stomach... Go figure. I guess I have to hog the bed too, otherwise it's just not a good night rest:)
3. I'm really afraid of dark windows at night. I have had this fear of a boogie man. you can laugh all you want but it started out that I would just dream about this guy in a dark trench coat with a dark hat, and pulled over his head that I can't see his face but the shadow and he would just stare at me through the window while standing on my deck. Well then in turned into me seeing him while I'm awake looking out into the dark night. So I ALWAYS have to have my blinds closed the minute it gets dark. More so when I'm home alone. I get so freaked out. I joke that if I ever build my own home, I will NOT have windows put by the kitchen sink for this very purpose!!
4. I LOVE picking scabs, zits, pretty much any of that! (just as jos on the zit part) But I enjoy it even more when it's not on me. I know it sounds so sick, its unfortunate but hey we each have our moments.
5. I'm such a clean freak. Just as a few others, VERY OCD when it comes to cleaning. I don't know that I was this way growing up until the later years at home. And even more so since I've been married. Jeramy will always tell me that it's not dirty but I still clean it anyways. Maybe it's the fear that there will be bugs or dirt that I won't be able to see and will just disgust me.
6. I get way too self conscious about what others think of me. I analyze things way too much. I'm shy and don't open up and speak much. Unless you really get to know me I keep to myself alot, and my thoughts. I've been better at learning to just enjoy myself and not what others think, but I just can't resist sometimes when I get in an uncomfortable place and conversation.

I tag Julie, Megan, Samantha and anyone else that is reading this blog!

WOW- They can really grow up fast!

This is Kiana from the beginning through now. My how she has grown. We just love her so much. I must admit I didn't ever think I would love a dog as much as I do. She is such a companion, she LOVES to play and run. She is so good in the house too.





You can just imagine how big she's getting when she is on the same part of this couch.
This was her Birthday in May. She really hated the hat!
Oh, look at those cute puppy eyes. You just can't say no.

This is her now! I took her to the Vet and holy cow I did not think she weighed 55 lbs. For sure we thought she was only 25-30 max.... She doesn't ever get up on this couch like she tried when a puppy since she has her own pillow/bed. She was SO mad at me when I put her up there to give you just an idea so you can compare the before and now on the same couch! Can you just see her mad at me!!
