Day 1: 15 facts about me

Since I haven't had a lot to blog about lately I'll try doing this... we'll see how it goes.

1. I am a clean/ocd freak.
2. I love my dog way too much.
3. My mother is my best friend even though we drive each other freaking crazy.  We are two peas in a pod.
4. I slept with my doll till I was 19 and I still get upset that she was closet-ed.
5. I wish I still danced.
6. My biggest regret is distancing myself from some amazing old friends.
7. I get embarrassed way too easy.
8. I'm very shy, which usually comes off as bratty (dang it).
9. Cheese is my comfort food.
10. I cannot fall asleep without blowing my nose 800 times and making sure I have a good coat of Mentholatum on my nose and Carmex on my lips.
11. If you ruin the sheets on my bed, you will suffer.
12. I hate when people ask when Derek and I are getting married... strange I know.
13. I hate scary movies.
14. Crafting and Decorating is something I wish I could do.
15. I feel a lot better about life when I forget we are building a house. (ha)

House.

I've been the biggest slacker ever with this dang blog thing.  Lately I feel as if I have nothing going on in my life and nothing to blog about.  I could blog about having to pick up Chloe poop on the tile or something like that, but I don't think most would find that too interesting.  Except a funny/annoying little thing- that dog is a brat.  I recently had a new roommate move in and Chloe has been so territorial.  She poops in her bathroom, room and on the tile in the kitchen.  What a little stink.  She knows exactly what she is doing too.  I can just picture it now... D walks in the door first and Chloe is FREAKING out because she is so excited to see him, but when she is too excited he just looks at her and say, "Chlooooeeee what have you done?"  Then she bolts under my bed as fast as she can.  That little bugger is a smart one. 

As most of whoever reads this blog, you will have known for a little while now that we are planning on building a house with the Self Help Program.  I guess I could have blogged about that but as soon as I even think about building a house I get sweaty palms and have a mini anxiety attack.  So I try to avoid talking about it too much since that's all we'll be doing for the next year of our lives.  I can't imagine trying to do that, plan a 'wedding' (whenever that may happen, its like we are doing everything completely backwards) and anything that pops up in our lives.  Here is the house plan we are thinking of doing... we have to let them know by the 5th.

I am very grateful that we are getting this amazing opportunity to build a house and very blessed to have amazing families that will be there to help us through it all... but if I have to take a Xanax every once in a while... don't judge.
