Sometimes Andrew randomly does things that crack me up. For instance, he'll randomly start singing part of a song in a really goofy falsetto voice...and he'll have this really goobery look on his face. And it is hilarious. A couple of the songs that he does this with lately are "Apoligize" by One Republic and "A Pocket Full of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield. We'll be either laying in bed

Lately, we have been sleeping with the windows open and a big box fan blowing on us.It is glorious.This is my very FAVORITE sleep. I sleep so heavy.Also, it makes me think of sleeping with the attic fan on at home (KC). I miss that.

Sweet fancy Moses, this song rocks my face off. i totally love it. I have a live version of this on a cd from an old radio station in Kansas City (97.3 the Planet, which was awesome.) Sterophonics recorded it live in the Planet's studio one time, and it made it onto a "mix cd" that the station put out of live music from their studio. I also really enjoy their song, "Dakota." Which means I

So at about 5:20 this morning I am awakened by something. I realize my husband is stirring. Then I am being pushed off my pillow. I'm asleep and like, 'what the heck is going on?' Then I'm really pushed off my pillow and so I sit up and look behind me on my pillow, and there is my husband's head. He looks at me and goes, "Hi, Honey!" It was hilarious. I am thinking he is talking in his

I guess I really need to update, because a lot of people probably really have no idea what i'm up to these days.I'm still doing the 8 to 5 at the same place.Andrew graduates in May. Yes, this coming May. He will be done with school forever (unless he some day goes back to get his Doctorate, which is not on the agenda at all). He will have his Masters of Divinity from RTS.

Everyone... I have this great Hanson song stuck in my head. Check it out. go to itunes, search for "hanson" then scroll down to podcasts, click on "taking the walk" then go to the 2.5.07 episode of "taking the walk teaser 4." I don't know if this song is going to be on the new album out May 22nd but I absolutely love it. LUHVE. IT. I can't get it out of my head. I love the old school

Recommendations:1) Fetzer wine or Kendall Jackson wine.They're white and a little sweet and not dry, imo. I quite like them.2) If you haven't tried making this before, you have to. Buy a pork butt roast at the grocery store. (They are pretty big...the size of a crock pot...I'm trying to think of the poundage....4-8???)

Random...but....I pretty much love Nelly Furtado's song "Say It Right." Its one of those songs where I go a little bit crazy when I hear it.Correction...I have no idea what shes saying, mostly. So its not fair to say I truly love the song. But I love the SOUND of the song. Which is usually how I fall in love with songs, in the first place, anyway.

So....I ran into a door this morning. (And no, that is not code for "my husband beat me." heh.)This is what happened:...In the process of getting ready for work, I was in the study looking in the full length mirror to check myself, and then when I got ready to exit the room...Our study door closes by itself all the time because its on a slant or something.

I suck with friendships. Let me just ramble a bit.I am a total homebody. I like just sitting at home and relaxing when I have time, which feels like not often.

Andrew does crazy things in his sleep. He used to tease me about being a cover hog and such, but really, he is the true culprit. Lately, I've been robbed of all the blankets, kicked, & wacked in the skull with elbows, among other things. He is a grumpy sleeper. If I dare get him to try to wake up, or tell him what he did, or try to move one of his flailing limbs, or take back possesion of any

I am sick, yet again.(How is this possible???) I was sick less than two months ago.I started feeling pretty crummy on Friday. And I pretty much was dead to the world this weekend and slept and did nothing. And this morning, when I thought I was going to go to work, I had Andrew look at my throat, and he saw gross stuff, and combined with how I am still feeling (like death, ok not quite), I

guess what thirteen dollars of my dad's money got me last night?An extra two days in Kansas City over Christmas break.HECK.YES.So here is the story...I was thinking about how when we booked our tickets to go home, the best price we could find on our optional travel dates were to come back on the 30th, which is a Sat. That would leave two extra days, since I dont' work that Monday for New Years

I like these tee shirtsand i'll tell you why. because its just funny.because this is something my mom has said with me since I was wee big. this phrase made it on most of our home videos, circa the 1980s. this one is probably my favorite because of that fact.because I do.I already own this tee, but I like it so much, it made the list. i would love it if my husband wore thisa nickname my husband

best story ever (not really, but still good):My boss' name is Mike Baugh. People ALWAYS call in and mispronounce his name. ALWAYS. They ususally say it, 'bOw' or 'bow'. (Long O or short o.) In reality, it is pronounced, "baw." And I have a certain way I tell people how to say it.So a man calls in just a minute ago. "I need to speak with Mike....B-A-U-G-H.""Mike Baugh.

Secretly, one of my very favorite things about Wednesday is the fact that the Kroger Ad comes out. I get to look at it online. I always can't wait to see what the sales are going to be that week. My favorite sales are on meat. I particularly enjoy it when they have boneless, skinless chicken breasts for 99 cents a pound. This doesn't happen often. We have a small freezer. It is pretty dang

I made the pie last night with Peaches instead of Apples...and let me just say...It is as fantastic as the apple-version.(I used some canned peaches and some frozen peaches, because thats what I had on hand.)I'm happy it turned out.

On Sunday, we used the grill we got for our wedding for the first time. Or shall I say, Andrew used it. Yes. He grilled. Which is totally hot and manly. Oww. We had chicken. Andrew had barbequed chicken, and I had hot sauce chicken. (Andrew doesn't like spicy things). And the hot sauce, I made from scratch, using a recipe I found online. It was compltely tasty.

Guys...I've been really sick the last few days. Which sucks for multiple reasons.I woke up Tuesday feeling like crud...went to work...left at 11.30 am....long story short...haven't been back to work since. Which stinks....because I have more than used up my three vacation days. (yes, three. sucks.)ANyway...finally decided to go to the doctor this morning. I went to this walk in clinic place.

So...a song just came on my playlist that I haven't heard in such a long time. More Than Anything by Hanson. And it makes me feel a little melancholy. I really love this song. I don't even care...I truly think this is a great song. And it makes me miss having my piano. :( Not that I played ALL THE TIME or was that great at it, but I really miss being able to sit down at the piano at 2 am or

If I bump a glass against my front teeth, I panic that I've either chipped half my tooth off or knocked it completely loose and its going to fall out of my head.

I made a fruit smoothie at my house this morning. And it tastes EXACTLY like the ones I used to pay 4 dollars for at the Juice Stop in kansas city. I used a banana, some frozen strawberry, some frozen peach, a splash of OJ and a big ole scoop of nonfat frozen yogurt.YUM!!!such a tasty breakfast!

I know I talk about marriage a lot.Marriage...is SO sanctifying. Man, I love it.My husband isn't a perfect man. He is a sinner just like you and me. But he knows. how to. love. me. Sometimes I have a really crummy attitude about something. Sometimes I'm kind of mopey and pouty if I don't want to do something. But he always makes me laugh and smile, even if I don't want to. He will hug me

Being poor is definately not my favorite thing about my life right now. I also know that it is just a season in our life, more or less. In that I am working and Andrew is basically not working much to speak of, but we are paying for him to go to Seminary full time (no loans). I know it is "just one of those things" that goes along with going into minsitry. This season may or may not change,

Watching Rockstar Supernova a couple of weeks ago, I re-realized how much I love Live's "The Dolphin's Cry."I honestly have no idea what the song is about. In fact...I haven't even really listened to the lyrics that closesly, to be honest. (I didn't mean that "I can't figure the meaning out." I just haven't paid attention.) But I love the melody and the rhythm and all of that.Don't tell

for some reason, kate thinks i need to update..what to say..what to say..last night, as i was reading my book on the couch and watching the tyra banks show wherein they were discussing how pretty much everything you touch has fecal matter on it and everyone has approx. a quarter size of a peanut worth of turd in their underwear, Andrew came in from having been studying outside and asked me to

Weirdness of the day...At the post office today, a man there asked me, "Are your toes insured?"I asked him to repeat himself. That couldn't possibly be what he asked me.But thats what he had said."Uuuuum.....no." *go on about my business....not even going to go there and ask why...**man waits for me to ask why....* *I don't ask*"....Because you sure do have nice toes.""......thanks..." *...oh

The one thing during the other night's budget-making session that made watching our grocery money and utility money and health-care money dwindle away to nothingness, bearable - Andrew saying the following:"Guess what?! We can be like...from Russia...and we can be poor...and thats what we're gonna be!!!"I actually laughed. A lot.

ok. so, the pork wasn't done enough last night for dinner, so we were going to eat leftovers. so i ate leftovers and made oatmeal choc chip cookies last night. andrew wasn't hungry when i ate leftovers. so he waited. except then he decided to just eat cookies for dinner. he ate about 20 of them. SICK. I was like "honey you can't do that. thats so bad for you." but he just kept eating

Two things:one, apparantly, our wedding pics came today. andrew got them from the mail but hasn't looked yet. i can't wait to see them tonight!!!two, this morning, i put a pork roast in the crockpot to cook all day on low for pulled pork (bbq) tonight. i asked andrew to check on it and tell me what it looked like. he goes, "its still cold." um? so i ask, "what does the timer say?" "9." oh

This isn't a new occurrence but I haven't told you about it yet and I want to vent.There is a makeshift storage unit across the street from the Seminary, which the seminary owns. This storage unit used to be a grocery store, and it is next to the Seminary Library. The storage unit is available to all the seminary students to put their stuff in. As much room as you need, only open to seminary

I seriously love being married. I feel like I was born to get married. To Andrew, in particular. I feel settled and at home and wonderful. I highly recommend marriage. I wouldn't want to try and make it sound like everything is flawless or that we never argue or fight or have our moments of utter selfishness, etc, but absolutely all in all, things are wonderful. I am very blessed. We

I'm listening to Pandora right now. I really like the concept behind it. But its making me think, "Man. I wonder how so many crappy artists get record deals."

Andrew and I played Taboo last night with 4 other people. Andrew and I were on seperate teams, but were sitting next to eachother, so we were in charge of holding the buzzer for eachother in case we said a word on the card and scratched. The funniest part of the whole game was when I was trying to get my team to say a word, and in the process, I used the word "Y'all" (the word being used, not

A few things:1) It is two and a half weeks until the wedding, and we still haven't heard from about 30 people as to whether or not they're attending the wedding. This really aggravates me. Mostly, because I need to let the cake and food people know something, and I can't. 2)Buddy and Frenchie had a prayer luncheon for us on Sunday and invited several people from church that we're close to,

I ran across this intersting article on MSN today. Although I certainly do not buy into some of the points they made in the article, I thought a few other of them were quite amusing:The secret to a romantic night is…So it’s date night and you want to set the mood for romance…what’s the right plan to make? Interestingly, you should go to a movie, but not any old flick. If you want kisses after the

random stuff:i hate running on the treadmill. i seriously hate it. but i'm forcing myself to do it. HATE. IT. i'm horrible at making friends. this is true. i really am not good at this at all. in fact...i pretty much suck at it. i'm not letting myself bite my nails for the next five weeks and two/three days. its maddening. i bought those cuticle-pusher-backers and have started using

alright. a little wedding-math nerdiness for the day:48 % of our wedding guests have responded thus far.based on the response cards we've received thus far, we have a 72% acceptance rate.that means that if we have the same acceptance rate as it is now, at the end, we will have 156 wedding guests.hehe.i guessed we'd have right at 150 wedding guests attend. i'll keep you posted.

About a month ago, I had the first fitting for my wedding dress, and I didn't tell you about it. Which is a shame.I had mentioned to Frenchie that I needed to locate someone here in Jackson to alter my dress for me. She mentioned a woman named Carol that they've known for years and does lots of alterations and lives right down the road from them. So I decided to call her up and see if I could

So....apparantly I don't know Andrew as well as I thought I did. If you will remember what I wrote a couple of posts down, apparantly, I put Andrew in the wrong box.Because the other night, he definately came through the dog door, as well.But see, the lights were off, and I didn't know what was going on, and he scared the poop out of me, and I took off running to the other side of the house and

I haven't talked about Buddy and Frenchie Graham, the people I live with, yet. Allow me to talk a little about them.In many ways, not nearly all, Buddy is much like me and Frenchie is much like Andrew. It is comforting to see and it makes me smile. Buddy and I...are just plain retarded most of the time. We're pretty much outwardly loud, obnoxious, goofy, and you never know what we might do

Facts about Jackson Mississippi:1) People do not know how to drive around here. They either poke around (less likely) or they do about 120 MPH on the highway while riding your rear bumper. This is true.2) The roads suck. It is pothole city here. 3) I can't understand a darn thing people say most of the time, especially when I call businesses. The combination of southern speech and/or

Latest news:*99 days until the wedding. yay. this means its crunch time. There is SO MUCH TO DO! I don't have anyone to help me do things like address invitations though, so that sucks. On that note, i haven't really made any "real friends." I mean, I have aqquaintances and people I like, and such, but you know what I mean? Yeah. I think I'm not good at making friends. *Andrew finally

In "honor" of Valentines Day...Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcasticWhat turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card"

Well, I am here in the Deep South. AKA: Jackson, Mississippi. I love it here. I am staying with Buddy and Frenchie Graham, and they are the nicest people you will ever meet. I feel so at home and I'm not the least bit homesick. I dont' know what to talk about. I am slowly finding my way around. Which, if you know me, is a great accomplishment! I'm making dinner tonite. It is wonderful
