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

5. She's got a great sense of humor.

6. She's got an amazing lake behind her house. I'm so jealous!

7. Any girl with 3 sisters is definitely one that is dear to my heart.

8. She reads my blog...and likes it!

9. She's an amazing person.

10. She's a great friend! (if only she lived a little closer!)

How to Become FAMOUS.

At my wedding I had sooo many people come up to me and say. "I feel like I got to know you through your blog." It was kind of crazy. So here is my list on how to become famous.

1. Start a Blog.
2. Post your Blog entries on facebook.
3. Post your Blog on your wedding website (or another equivalent website)
4. Write on your Blog every day.
5. Write on a million other people's blogs.

Follow my instructions and people will be telling you how they got to know you through your blog in no time! Don't blame me if you become infamous through your blog though...Unfortunately, I'm not famous for being as intelligent as Einstein...I just happen to write lists.

The Comprehensive List of Airport Needs.

1. I believe that airports NEED lazyboy chairs. I was so sick the last time I was in an airport and they decided to delay my flight for 4 hours. I would have paid for a comfortable chair.

2. Hand held heaters. SHEESH....they make airports sooo cold in the summer. Layers just aren't enough to keep you warm.

3. Movie theaters. It's exactly what you need to fill your time while you are waiting for your connecting flight.

4. A gym. Why not work off all of those holiday calories while waiting for that next flight?

5. A better system. I feel like something always happens to my flights. I've sat on a runway for 6 hours before. This just should not happen.

6. Free internet access. Every other business has free internet...why do you have to pay $10 to check your e-mail at the airport?


What do you think airports need?

You Know You've Gained Weight When....

So, the reason I am posting this blog is because my husband and I just got back from our honeymoon. We went to a resort that had huge buffets for every meal. There was no way I couldn't gain weight. I therefore thought this post was appropriate.

You know you've gained weight when...

1. Elastic has become your new best friend.
vorite pair of jeans make you worry that you have become a "muffin top"

3. You are afraid to step on the scale...living in ignorance is so much better!

4. You know there is no way you are the same skinny weight you were on your last license...so you up your skinny weight a few pounds and hope you're not lying too much.

5. People ask you if you are pregnant.

6. Cankle Queen is your new nickname.

I LOVE Being Married!

I love being married because:

1. My husband cooks me breakfast and supper. He also makes my lunches. I am so spoiled.

2. I now have someone who can tell me all the crazy things I do when I sleep. This morning I ordered a "Chai Tea Latte" and the other day I continually poked my husband in the side to get his attention while I was still sleeping. CRAZY.

3. I no longer have to use mapquest....my husband IS mapquest.

4. I now have a very dedicated workout partner. No more slackin' for me!

5. I always have someone to talk to!

6. No more setting up printers or changing the oil for me!!!

7. There are sooo many reasons I love being married...these are just a few highlights!

Did You Really Just Ask That?

Today, was an interesting day. Here are few of the questions that were asked of me.

1. "You're from MN?!? What state is that [in]?" -Apparently, people down south don't know that MN is a state and not a city. J/k....just this one person I guess.

2. "I'm taking calculus three in the fall...does calculus have formulas in it?"-I'm thinking that maybe he skipped calc 1 and 2.

3. "Was coach filmed in MN?"-I don't even know the answer to this one.

4. "You're married? Do you cook?" You just look so young to be married!

5. "Are you pregnant?"

Back to the Nitty Gritty

So, I'm now a wife on top of being a student nurse AND a blogger. How am I ever going to keep up with everything I have to do? J/k...Marriage has brought on new responsibilities. Here's my back to the nitty gritty list.

1. I now have to iron shirts. My mom always made this look so easy. I spent 40 minutes on one of Joel's shirts the other day..and it still didn't look that great.
Grrr...I guess I have a lot to learn.

2. It's my job to do all the dishes. Fortunately, I get to load the dishwasher any way I want! (See www.hollytriedit.blogspot.com)

3. Thankfully, I do not have to cook!!! I have the best husband in the world who has agreed to do all of the cooking. My mom spent years trying to get me to like to cook and sew. Don't lose heart, mom! I did win the crocheting contest at Kansas City!

4. I have to write blogs that don't sound too wifey!! I guess this blog is not going to cut it....I figured one wifey blog would be alright though
