I got tagged

I have been tagged by Rachel to do a post where I list 6 facts/habits about me. Then how it works is at the end of this post I will tag 3 people to do the same thing on their blogs. I will also leave a comment for each of them on their blogs to let them know they've been tagged. So, here it goes:

1. My favorite thing to do is to laugh. That's why my closest friends have always been ones that I laugh a lot with. That's one big reason I was so drawn to Marc...he is always cracking me up.

2. I like talk radio...and that makes me feel old:) I listen to KFI whenever I am in the car between 12:00 and 6:00 (for Dr. Laura and the John and Ken show). I love Dr. Laura! I know people either love her or hate her...I think it is just so refreshing to hear her putting out such high moral standards when everyone else I hear in entertainment has such a loose moral code...ie: The View...between Rosie and now Whoopi I just can't watch that show anymore because I get too angry when I hear them talk.

3. I love to scrapbook. The funny thing is, I actually feel stressed out that I am not caught up in scrapbooking...who feels stress about something like that? I try to remind myself that it is my hobby and shouldn't give me stress! But really, it is always on my mind that I need to get caught up in my different albums.

4. I poured myself a bowl of Lucky Charms this morning, and then picked out about 20 extra marshmallows out of the box to add to my bowl....umm, sorry Marc

5. I am a picture fanatic. It gets so bad that I actually have picture envy sometimes...usually over wedding photos. If I look at someone else's wedding photos, and they have ones I really like...I feel jealous. It is crazy enough that I have seriously considered at times having Marc and I get in our wedding gear again and go take the photos I wish we had.

6. My FAVORITE time of year is Christmas...and it's coming soon!!! There is just a certain feeling I get all through the month with everything from going to the mall and seeing all the people in the "hustle and bustle", the stores all decorated for Christmas, to all the Christmas activities--seeing house's decorated with lights, the giving, time with family, nativities, Christmas carols, decorating our apt. for Christmas....just all of it. It makes me feel excited, and romantic, and just so happy.

Ok, I tag the Hawkins clan...Ashley, Stephanie and Natalie!

We're Moving!

Well, it is official...we will be moving to Torrance in 1 month! We found a nice place...I'll take pics when I can and post them. I am sad to be moving...I will miss my friends in our ward, I will miss Brea, I will miss being in Orange County, I will miss living so close to all my family in Whittier, I will miss our 1st apartment...but there are a couple definite upsides to moving to Torrance. Marc will have NO commute...that will be incredible! It will literally take him 2 minutes to get home! (Compared to 1 1/2 hours!) So that will be so different and awesome. Also, we are literally 5 minutes from the beach...can't really complain about that!













Here's when we moved into our 1st apt. (our current place) back in April of '04.

Here's a link to a map of Southern CA (if you're curious to see where Torrance is...there's an arrow pointing to Torrance...also, if you didn't know where Brea is...it is labeled on the 57 freeway...on the right)

Growing Baby

The 1st pic is me at 3 mos. and the other is at 4 mos. In both of the pics I am sucking in...so it's crazy for me to see the change of not being able to suck in like before. I'm excited to really start showing...I don't know why, but I am. I can see the difference now, but in clothes you can't really tell. I bet in about 1 more month it will be a lot more obvious.

It's a BOY!!!

Yep, we will be having a little Marc:) We went to this ultra sound center and at 13 weeks they can tell you what you're having...SO, I am focusing on the color blue and preparing myself to be outnumbered by boys:)
Here's the boy kicking his feet up and relaxing
We told some family and friends by inviting them over and having them all bite into cupcakes at the same time...I had filled the cupcakes with blue frosting...so they were prepared to see blue or pink...it was a fun moment.

Eyeballs for 10 cents

Last Saturday our husbands went golfing and so us girls hung out and made a Halloween craft. I was very excited about this because I have been sad ever since Relief Society did away with homemaking...

Creative Date Night

Marc and I were trying to figure out what to do after we went out to dinner this one night. And I remembered an idea that is in this book I was given with FHE ideas for Newlyweds. There's some cheesy stuff in there but I decided we'd try this one idea out. We went to Target and had 20 minutes to split up and pick out something under $4 that would be fun to do. When we met back up at the register he had picked these juggling balls and I bought a baseball bat. So we went home and tried to learn to juggle...and my idea was to compete in seeing how many tennis balls we could hit against the door into the bucket. We really sound like dorks, I know, but it was actually pretty fun:)
Marc did pretty good at juggling...I was pretty good at getting hit in the head by balls I'd forgotten I'd thrown up in the air.
