So I begin with today - introducing myself and 15 "interesting" facts.
 
Hi, I'm Abby.
 
Okay, you've now been introduced. Here comes the facts. (there will be redundant and repetitive, as I don't think I can come up with 15 interesting things about me that y'all don't know already...)
 
1. I play the trombone. I was going to major in Music Education in college. But my 2nd day of college I switched to Nursing.
 
2. My favorite sport to watch is the Kentucky Derby. Why? The dresses, the hats, the drinks, and the fact that it is the only sporting event that doesn't take HOURS.
 
3. I pretend to be interested in NFL football to be a nice wife. But, really, it makes me yawn.
 
4. I'm running my 2nd full-marathon on December 12.
 
5. If I don't like a food - I will put mustard on it, and I will most like it enjoy it.
 
6. My little side-dream is to be a personal trainer, or a kickboxing instructor.
 
7. I talk, laugh, and talk some more in my sleep. I also kick the covers, throw the covers, and am probably the most annoying person to sleep with EVER.
 
8. One of my favorite hobbies to baking bread. Anything in that realm -- baking bread, home-made-pizza crusts, variations of pasta...
 
9. I was supposed to get an A in my Sophomore year Statistics class, but instead got a C b/c I only showed up to class on test days. I didn't know the teacher took "attendance points". Ouch.
 
10. I worked as a hotel-cleaning lady for 2 weeks during college at the Americ-Inn.
 
11. While my husband was out of town a few weeks ago, I was backing his car out of our garage and scraped the side of it on our wall. He discovered this a week later. Good times.
 
12. I am the worlds worst driver. I am confident in this statement.
 
13. I really want to be a Nurse Practitioner.
 
14. I enjoy cleaning in the shower and scrubbing floors. There is something that gives me butterflies about seeing it sparkle white with cleanliness.
 
15. My husband is most definitely my best friend in the world. Whenever we get to really spend time together - my face hurts from laughter/smiles. I always tell him "My face is going to be very wrinkly some day..." -- but that's okay with me :-)
 
And here's a recent picture......it was taken about 2 weeks ago when we went to the pumpkin patch with Ryan's family!

Fun! I might try to do this in January...

You are the wildest sleeper ever. I can def verify that! And you are the heaviest sleeper, too!!

Those were some fun facts! What is it about mustard?? It can totally make anything taste good.

That's a really nice picture of you and your husband. I like that necklace you have on!
Yay :) So glad you decided to do this too. I'm not really promising 30 days in a row either!

I am also crazy when I sleep- I mumble and kick covers all around. Good thing we have a king sized bed!

Also I don't even try to be a good wife when it comes to football. It's simply terrible. Eric knows I have that opinion, oh well!

Yup, that's you! You are quite honest! And you must have inherited your sleep tactics from your Dad! When he's gone, I crawl into bed on my side and the covers on his side are still in perfect shape so I only have to make half the bed! You inherited your driving techniques from me, sadly! :(

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c
