I KNOW I KNOW.........................................

Ok so I've been tagged again. I can see the eyes rolling already and the big sighs coming out of your mouth.
It's a short one.
Bare with me, maybe you'll learn something new.

3 JOYS
Family, Friends, Gospel.

3 FEARS
Dark, Spiders, Horror Movies

3 GOALS
Loose 45 pounds, keeping on top of housework, scriptures and prayers daily.

3 OBSESSIONS
Blogging, Eating, talking.

3 RANDOM FACTS
I CAN'T STAND my hair on the back of my neck and around my face, which is why my hair is always tied up. Anyone have any suggestions for a cute hair style for a soccer ball face which I can wear OUT.
I'm VERY lazy at heart.
I'm very nearly ALWAYS late for things. Dru asked me why one day and I said "I guess I just don't see it as important to be there on time, the world won't come to an end if I'm not there"
He said "Don't you see it as a sign of disrespect?"
I had nothing.

Technical Difficulty

Hi there- I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I just don't have what I need to download my stuff. I need a new cord for my camera as the old one just isn't working and I can't transfer anything from the camera to the computer. I have fun stuff to blog about, and no way to do it. I will order the cord today and hopefully will be up and running soon. Stay tuned...

Fun road trip game!!!

So I've been tagged. I was explaining to Dru about it and he said it sounded like a fun game to play on a road trip with each other or a mate.

COME TO THE DARK SIDE LADIES.

Mozart, here we come!

Many of you know that I've been looking for just the right piano for about three years. I know, three years is a long time, but truthfully, it really just comes down to money. I wanted an old upright grand and I'd hoped to get one that was already restored, but eventually realized that I might have to settle for something that I could restore bit by bit, as I could afford it. Anyway, we found this piano in Boise and drove up (and back) last Friday to pick it up. It is arts & crafts (mission) influenced, which seems very hard to find and is what we love. We may not even need to restore the exterior as much as we'd thought since it cleaned up so well when we brought it home. The inside needs considerable work, which is ok with us since we both love it. Several of you asked me to post pics, so here we go.

7 years baby!

Look what's happend in the last 7 years of the 'Dru Melissa, hook up' Dru's hair is as short as the day we were married, I've put on some pounds and would you look at that, we've got two more tag a longs!

We celebrated 7 years yesterday, well we were married in NZ so really if you going by NZ terms, technically it was Saturday! Anyway we went out on Friday night to dinner at the cheesecake factory and a movie at the gateway. We saw the new batman and we LOVED IT. Man the Heath is one good actor mate. It's a sad tale he's no longer with us.
I ended up buying 2 hats for me out of a bargin bin. I couldn't believe they were in the bargin bin. I guess one man's junk is anothers treasure right, and we also got the kids some fun things to do in sacrament from boarders book store.
Man we spent like a hour just in there. I'm a sucker for book stores.

I thought this middle picture was appropriate as Dru is either working really hard or sleeping. That's been our whole marriage!
Dru's the hardest worker I know. Our marriage is no exception. I know Dru will forever work just as hard on our union as all the assigments and houses that has and will come his way.
I hope everyone feels the same way I do in their marriage and that's the luckiest girl alive!
I have a feeling this 7th year is gonna be a doozie!
I hope we're still smiling like this on our 8th!
Jokes man jokes. I'm sure everythings gonna be fine. It's just law school. I mean really, how hard can it be?
