Redemption-kind of!

On Saturday night we had some friends over for a BBQ and then we played Cranium until 12:30am. This is super late for Chris and I, we are usually in bed by 10pm. It was a very fun night, we had some good food and good memories.

Sunday morning came and we woke up at about 8am. Chris got up and went into the living to watch tv and I fell back asleep. I woke up at 11am and went in on the couch with him. We had lunch and then I fell back asleep on the couch until 4pm.

I am an old married fart who can no longer party until 12:30am-if I do the result is sleeping the whole entire next day It was still worth it!

The Joys of Marriage

I remember in high school I used to be out very late at night on weekends. My nights consisted of grabbing some fast food dinner, hanging out at friends houses, traveling the neighborhood streets, watching movies, more fast food runs to get ice cream and other random things. Then college came and things changed a little bit. A little more studying, less staying out late. Then I got married.....

Here we are on Friday night. Chris has been watching the Jazz game in our bedroom and fell asleep. I was in the living room watching Food Network, made myself some Mac & Cheese and played on the computer all night. What happened to having fun and staying out late doing fun and crazy things? We are the most boring couple ever!

I think that you get married, get jobs, work your butt off all week and then crash come Friday night! I have decided that we need a child to give us some energy and something to do. Until then...anyone want to hang out Friday nights?

Aunthood

So my sister told me today that I will be an aunt again! She found out earlier this week that she is expecting her 3rd baby this November. I am very excited for her and I am excited to be an aunt again!

My Hubby

I saw this on someones page and though it was cute.

What is his name? Christopher Glenn Gillespie ( I recently learned that it's spelled with 2 nns and not one)
How long have you been together? Married for almost 3 years (wow, time flies!)
How long did you date? Over 4 years
How old is he? 25
Who eats more? I eat more. His stomach is the size of a pea. He makes me look like a fatty when I down my burger and my fries and he barley eats his burger.
Who said I love you first? I told Chris that I loved him after 2 weeks of meeting him. It freaked him out. 2 years later, he told me that he loved me. And now we are married!
Who is taller? Chris by a few inches (ok myabe like 5 inches)
Who can sing better? I can. Chris can't sing at all.
Who is smarter? Tough one..I would say Chris is.
Who does the laundry? We both do the laundry. It's team work! He can't ever remember to take pens, change and chapstick out of his pants though so I have to check them first.
Who pays the bills? I do, but with his money!!! He always calls me to see how much money we have.
Who sleeps on the right side? Chris sleeps on the right side of the bed because it is by the windows and that's where the spiders come in, they can get him first.
Who mows the lawn? We don't have one yet, but when we do it will be Chris. I hate yard work and he loves it.
Who cooks dinner? I do the most cooking, but I let him do the grilling. And I usually have him cook the meat that goes into our meals.
Who drives? Chris does. I can't see very well when I drive.
Who is more stubborn? I really don't know. We both have things that we are stubborn about. Someone let me know.
Who kissed who first? I kissed him first.
Who asked who out first? He asked me out first. We met 1 week before Valentine's Day so our first date was on Valentine's Day.
Who proposed? He did on Christmas Night in front of my entire family. He was so upset that I didn't cry, but I was shaking because I was scared about my dad's reaction.
Who is more sensitive? Oh my gosh I take the cake on that one. I cry over everything.
Who has more siblings? He does. I have 2 and he has 3.
Who wears the pants? I think that I do, but he probably thinks that he does.

100 Things

So my friend Tracy did a post where you have to list 100 things about yourself. She didn't think she could do it, but she did. I don't think that most people care or want to know 100 things about me, but here it goes.

Thanks for reading ALL about me. I really will never do this again. It has taken me 4 days to come up with my list. But it was kind of fun!

New Hair

I am not a huge fan of pics of me lately (due to the weight gain in the past year) but I got my hair cut and thought I'd show it off. I cut about 3 inches off, put tons of layers in and colored it again. Please do not leave comments about the fat round face, just the hair, thanks!

Seattle Baby

Our anniversary is in June and every year we try and go away for a couple of days. For the past 2 years we have only been able to go to Park City, but not this year! Chris loves the Boston Red Sox and was looking at their 2008 schedule and noticed that they are playing in Seattle the end of May. Somehow he talked me into going to Seattle for 4 days to see the Red Sox play and tour Seattle, so our countdown begins (it's at the very bottom of our page). It won't be on our actual anniversary, but it's close enough. I am actually very excited and can't wait to go!

New Fav

I am sorry to say that lasagna is no longer my favorite food. The Southwestern Egg Rolls from Chilis are now my all time favorite food. They are so good that I have been ordering them almost once a week for the past month for dinner. I love them!!!!

Thanks Gangstas

Thank you to the gangstas who decided that it would be fun to tag their logo on our $8,000 fence! We appreciated the thought and am now so excited to get some chemicals and clean it off. If you could just skip by our house next time we would appreciate that even more!

The Knee

Chris' knee is doing better. He had a really bad week with a lot of pain last week, but this week has been great. He is off the meds and off the crutches. He is walking on his toes but can not quite put his foot flat on the ground. The swelling moved from his knee to his foot so we are trying to get that down now. He has therapy Thursday and can hopefully go back to work after then!
