random 11...

hmmm what to blog about when you are still trying to edit a million pics from photo sessions and from a California trip that you wanna blog about? i know! 11 random facts about Brett and i!
i started a post like this a few months back but for some reason i never published it. maybe i thought it was stupid, or lame, or that it would bore you to death. well, i need to update the blog with something but my Cali pics aren't ready yet, this is the day that you get to read our randoms list. we have about a million random facts about us and our relationship and us separately, but here are just a few to tidy you over and get to know us a little better :)

1. thanks to brett and his refusal to get out of bed in the morning (to give him a tiny bit of credit, he does have to wake up at 5:30) and snoozing his alarm every 3 minutes for 20 minutes straight. i have to wear earplugs to bed. and not to mention his snoring is impeccably loud! i don't know how i have slept with him without earplugs this whole time. thanks to those two foam squishies, i usually always get a good night's sleep.
2. we are soda addicts in our house. water just doesn't cut our thirst people. our fridge is always stocked with Caffeine Free Diet Coke and Voltage Mtn. Dew. If you are ever in the need for a beverage, come on over.
3. i have owned a Crockpot since the day we said "I Do" but it didn't come out of the box until a couple of weeks ago. i never knew how easy and scrumptious a meal could be just by sticking it in that thing and letting it sit for 8 hours. genius. that thing is my new best friend.
4. some couples talk in baby talk. some don't have any cute voices at all. when Brett and i are in a really good mood to joke around, we always do it in a voice with a lisp. i have been doing that with my sister for as long as i can remember, but i am not sure why Brett joined in since we sound ridiculous. but i must admit, i love it.
5. even though i am a stay-at-home mom, i never feed our dogs. go ahead, call animal control on me. i don't even know why this is, but i just don't want to. Brett always feeds them when he gets home. if he is getting home super late that night, i will drag myself the 5 feet it takes to feed them. but other than that, it's Brett's job.
6. we love to read books out loud together. a couple of Sundays ago we started The Hunger Games (wish we would've read it before we saw the movie but what can you do) and we literally, for 7 hours straight, sat in our backyard after Church and took turns reading to each other and eating snacks and cuddling with our pups and baby when he wasn't napping. definitely one of the best Sundays i can remember.
7. when we choose a place to eat out, Brett, without fail, every time, always says that he will eat wherever sounds good to me. and every time, without fail, i know that he will disagree with my first 3 choices. this happens every.single.time. and even though this has happened for as long as i can remember, i still manage to name places off. why? i don't even know.
8. Brett sings constantly. and not your regular songs. he makes up songs. every single day. to the tunes of church hymns and Christmas Carols only. those are the only tunes he chooses to sing his serenades too. it can get annoying, but mostly it makes me laugh because they are usually hilarious and ones that he knows will put me in a good mood or make me smile.
9. adding to #8, besides him making up songs by himself, we have gotten on a kick the last few months of when we talk, we sing what we say. sounds stupid i know, but it's a good way to laugh together. just picture yourself having an argument with your spouse, and all of a sudden they burst out in song the point they are trying to make. trust, it makes the argument disintegrate almost immediately.
10. one of our favorite things to do, if it's a holiday weekend, is make a midnight run on a Sunday night to a fast-food joint. we used to do it a lot more before the babe came along, but it's still fun to wake him up and go, because he doesn't mind being woken up for 15 minutes then goes right back to sleep when we get home so it makes it even more fun. i don't know why midnight runs are so fun, but we have been doing it since we were dating so it's kind of tradition.
11. our biggest pet name for each other is Pup. we are weird, i know. but i called him it within the first couple weeks we began dating and it totally stuck. and when we talk about Dylan, we refer to him as pup as well. we are so weird i know! i feel weird just writing this out. but, we love it, and it's us, and it's fun.

oh, and here's one from California to get you excited for my Cali post when i get done with the pics...
