Blah-g Week

Lame. I know. 

I have been busy cleaning the house to be shown. I remember from our last house how much work it is having a house on the market, but having two children whose biggest talent is making messes makes this even harder.  I've started telling Noah that people are coming to look to see how clean our house is and that they are going to be looking at his room as well. I'm not sure how much it's helped, but... hey. 

Today we were at Target and Noah made a scene. When we walked by the bras he yelled, HEY MOM,  THOSE ARE DA FANGS THAT WE PUT OUR BOOBS IN! And then he whipped his shirt off and started demonstrating how to use a bra. I couldn't stop him fast enough, he had a crowd of people laughing. Boys (sigh).

Jennifer emailed me and let me in on a huge story that I somehow missed. All this time, I was thinking that I was no mother of the year, yet I was so wrong. Ha! Check this out. It's pretty funny. 


Tomorrow is our anniversary! From what I've been told, we have a fun afternoon planned. I'm excited!!! Brad and I have been married for four years. We dated for six years before we got married and so I feel like we have been together for so long. We have. I can hardly remember life without him. awwww.

Has anyone date longer than six years? It's not for everyone, but it worked well for us. How long did you and your husband date before marrying? Let's see who the earns the shortest and longest dating award...

Noah cracks me up! Jeremy and I started dating Feb 1997 and we were married Dec of 2004. So we dated 7-1/2 years and we have been married 4-1/2. It does seem like such a long time!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Jeremy & I dated for 3 years and we'll be married 8 years on the 18th...crazy!

That boy of yours always cracks me up! And that video is awesome. I think they must have seen this blog in order to give you such a wonderful award.

Jeremy & I dated for almost 4 years before we got married and we've been married for a little over 2.

Of course, if it makes you feel any better, I think Mark & Layne have been together for about the same time frame as you and Brad. About 6 years of dating, and 4 years of marriage. :-)

Happy almost anniversary! We'll be married four years too on June 18th!

We dated for 3 years before getting married. :)

You are in my thoughts as you show your house. I remember thinking it was so hard to get things together for a showing because saylor seemed to know that I needed to get busy and she HAD to be held. I can't imagine how difficult it must be with two kiddos that can probably destroy a room in two seconds flat. I hope it sells fast and you don't have to deal with it for long.

Love the bra story!!

We dated 5 years and have been married almost 3.

Josh and I got engaged after 2 months and got married at 9 months of dating. We were married 7 years this last December.

Ha your kids are too cute.

Amy C said...

OUR boobs, huh? :)

You and I were on pretty much the same schedule when it came to love-dated for 6, married for four.

It is hard to believe that our first date was almost 10 years ago. Definitely doesn't seem like it's been that long...

Ashley said...

Happy Anniversary!!!

Jim and I dated for 6 months when he proposed. Then we were engaged for 6 months and we were married. Yes, I planned a wedding in 6 months! :)

I love your story about the bras. So funny! My husband, Heath, and I dated for 9 months and engaged for 7, so 16 in all. And I was only 18-19!!! Crazy. We celebrate our 5th this summer!!!

Audrey said...

I don't know you that well, but we were in Phi Lamb together, and maybe you remember me?? I'm not sure! Anyways, I have been dating my boyfriend for 9 years! Still no ring on the finger yet. If we ever get married, it'll probably be in another 2 years. So, we will have been dating possibly 10 or 11 years before marriage! So, don't feel bad about your 6..we'll almost double it!! ;) But, I have finally realized that everyone is different and there's no need to feel guilty about it. Dating is fun..although, I can't wait for marriage too!! :) Congrats! ~Audrey Roland http://audeli.livejournal.com

That is so funny! Zayne keeps talking about "boobies" and I'm so afraid he's going to say something in public... Noah just demonstrated something that I've barely been holding at bay for months :)
we dated two years... average... I'm average at everything... for once I just want to be either really bad or really good at something :)
How's your PRECIOUS family?

Fuuuunny boy!

Happy anniversary a few days late!! Man, I'm not sure Justin would have married me if we had dated for 6 years. We only dated for 4 MONTHS before our 3 month engagement!! We got married in Jan. and had only know OF each other for a year at that point. Crazy!!

Oh my goodness...I laughed out loud reading about the Target incident. That sounds like something Kaden would do...You got to love boys! :)
Keenan and I started dating in November 2001 and got married in May 2006 so y'all got us beat! :)
Hope all is well. Good luck on the house and hope you had a great anniversary! Ours will be here in a couple of weeks! Wow...3 years! :)
