FOUR - cuatro - 4 -shi

My bff Shalyn over at Laugh Until Your Cheeks Hurt tagged me in this fun little questionnaire :) I've known Shay since we were in middle school, but it was so fun reading her answers...got to know her a little better! And if you want a good laugh (i KNOW you do) go and check out her blog!

Without further adieu...

FOUR shows I watch:

(heads up: i don't have cable...)

1. Friends

...semi-old school, but my all time favorite. The hubby actually got me a set of all 10 seasons a couple years ago for Christmas...boy did he score major brownie points! :)

2. The Office

...if Michael Scott's character leaves (that's what I've been hearing) I'm going on a hunger strike!

3. Biggest Loser

...I love seeing the transformation INSIDE the people...their whole demeanor changes :) Very inspiring!

4. Extreme Makeover Home Edition

...I cry on almost every episode. Adam and I love this show.

FOUR things I am passionate about:
1. My marriage

...doesn't get much better than marrying your best friend. It takes work, but I'm up for the challenge of staying in the newlywed stage for life, scratch that, FOREVER! :)

2. My faith

...I feel so blessed to have the knowledge of my living Savior. And that I can keep learning about Him in this book.

3. Motherhood

...I am VERY passionate (and still extremely intimidated) about being a good mom and raising my Brooks (and future children) in a LOVING home, teaching them good principles by my example. I love my job :)

4. Photos

...in no way am I photographer (in my dreams) but I love capturing photos of people I care about...whether it's at home, on vacation, or on a fun date. Photos hold memories still to enjoy over and over.

FOUR phrases I say a lot:

1. "What's love got to do with it?"..."Everything."

...Adam & I ask each other this all the time

2. "right-o"

...i don't know why

3. "good job buddy!"

...praising Brooks for his accomplishments. From eating solids to shimmying around the couch to a "good" diaper (lol), I'll be his cheerleader for life

4. "seven-seven-seven"

...only Adam would know that one ;)

FOUR things I have learned from the past:

1. Don't ever stop smiling...you never know who's falling in love with it. ;)

...funny story. Back in college I had a guy friend who worked with me. When I started working at the little smoothie/bakery shop on BYU-Idaho's campus, I'd get kind of stressed out when I couldn't figure out how to use the register, or forget what ingredients were in which smoothies, the line would get backed-up...and I wanted happy customers! One day my friend told me that I should smile more, sometimes he'd catch me "in-the-zone" and I'd look way too intense. From then on I put more of an effort into smiling and it made my time at work, and life in general, that much better! AND I just so happened to meet my future husband at the smoothie shop the next year. Was it 'cause I was smiling?? who knows ;)

2. Forgive and forget...

...if my husband can forgive me for having the messiest closet on the face of the planet, then I think I can forgive him for going to work and leaving the oatmeal & brown sugar open. every. morning. lol

3. ALWAYS follow a prompting to help someone.

...we're here to help each other.

4. Karma.

...believe it baby

FOUR things I did yesterday:

1. Went to a baby shower

2. Made a trip to the grocery store with little B
