There's Just Something About MATT....because...

In honor of all of Matt's witty comments..I decided to write a blog about him.

There's just something about Matt because

1. He likes to sign wedding guestbooks with fake names. Joel and I were trying to figure out who Tom Jones was for FOREVER.

2. He makes fun of the fact that I'm trying to sell my iPod on facebook...

3. He convinced me to make gift bags for all of my wedding guests staying in hotels.

4. He's one of my husbands best friends.

5. He likes to ride sub-par roller coasters.

6. He looks for cheap prescription medications in Canada.

7. He's finding a cure for cancer. That's pretty amazing.

8. His suave phrases just say it all..."Any single women making the trip to MN? I'll meet you on the dance floor."

So, there you have it...if you have anything to add...please leave a comment.

There's Just Something About.....BETHANY!!!

I decided that Bethany deserved a write up this week, because she did so much at my wedding...but received ZERO recognition for all of her work. So here goes. There's just something about...Bethany because:

1. She has a laugh that will bring you to tears. I don't think there is anyone in the world who's laugh can make me laugh that hard.

2. She's been known to not let people step on her bathroom rugs when washing their hands or brushing their teeth :)

3. She brings a new definition to the word sunburn.

4. Holy Moly...watch out for her dance moves! Especially if there's a pole nearby ;0

There's Just Something about....Joel!

I decided that it's time. I've steered away from writing a blog about my future husband because I didn't want to sound like a love sick fiancee' People are asking me lots of questions about him though, and therefore the time has come.

There's Just Something about Joel because:

1. He makes duck lips when he's studying or thinking really hard. He claims that this is an inherited trait. I don't know...I never see his parents making duck lips?

2. He was forced to do the Mexican hat dance with my mother and he still asked me to marry him. That definitely screams quality.

3. He shares my love of travel and even took me to New York City to visit some friends for Christmas.

4. He is really intelligent. He has proof read my papers and helped me with my Logic homework in an airport.

5. Even though it took him a while, he came up with the best first dance song for our wedding. It made me cry the first time I listened to it.

6. He stores Diet Coke with Lime in his fridge for me.

7. He's perceptive.

8. He's going to be a great principal at the high school he works at.

9. He has a huge capacity for forgiveness.

10. He's going to be a great husband!

There's Just Something about...GRAHAM!

There's just something about Graham because...

1. He's excited to wear a tux in my wedding. He's going to be the best ringbearer ever!

2. He was calling birds by their scientific names by the time he was four!

3. He writes sweet notes on mirrors!!

4. He finds creative ways to pick up people that are 5 times as big as he is!

5. He lets me know when he "feels better" in the middle of a play. (that's an inside joke!)

6. He makes me laugh.

What a great nephew...I have great neices as well...and I'm sure they'll make it on my weekly posting soon! :)

There's Just Something about KALEN!

I was asking my sister for ideas on lists of things that I should write about. Of course she thought I should write a list about Kalen. I think this will be one of the easiest lists I've written because she's so amazing. I've also decided to add a weekly "There's Just Something about _____" to my blog. So watch out...next weeks blog may be about YOU!

Kalen's List.
1. Kalen's smile will brighten ANYONE'S day.
2. Kalen knows more sign language than I do. (She's only 2)
3. Kalen has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen!
4. She says "I hold you!" when she wants a hug....I think that's about the cutest thing ever!
5. Kalen LOVES church...which is something I wasn't excited about at her age.
6. She's funny...when i was watching her the other day I was throwing her up in the air and twirling her around. I was tired and dizzy so I told her I was too tired to try again. She said "okay" then two seconds later she patted my leg and said "AWAKE!" Of course I couldn't say no to her.
7. She's so outgoing. She says hi to all of the neighbors and is always excited when "Uncle Joel" comes over.
8. I think she may be a child prodigy someday :)
9. She's the cutest and I love living with her!
