Love Note #22

Dear Red Headed Fox,

This afternoon while we were taking down the pool in the backyard you started a mud fight with me, if it wasn't for Harper joining us I would have totally taken you down and you know it. You should also go get your Bieber Fever checked out sometime soon, I'm starting to worry about you. Love your face.

Dear Husband,

Tonight while you and Kaylee were playing "Just Dance" you told her her dance moves were like feet poetry and she agreed. I love you to the moon and so does she.

Love Note #20

Dear Husband,

Tonight you made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to pass out. Reason #465 why I love being married to you. Thank you for saying I could name our future child Beezus, I know you only did it because there will be no more baby Branam's for us. Nice try though. Love your face.

101 Things About Me!!

I recently saw this over at Lunie Bin and thought it would be fun, however I don't really think I'm that interesting so coming up with 101 things may be a bit difficult. We'll see how it goes...

  1. There were only 8 of us in my graduating class, crazy huh?
  2. I moved out of my mom's house on my 18th birthday so I could take care of my great grandfather who had Alzheimer's disease.
  3. When I was pregnant with Harper I ate peanut butter straight from the jar.....often. I'm still tempted to do it sometimes.
  4. I have had 7 different cars since I was 16, I am now 27.
  5. I like to read.....allot. {Nerd Alert!!}
  6. The first thing I ever learned to sew was a potholder. My great grandma taught me.
  7. I only have a couple of close girl friends. 
  8. It takes allot for me to trust someone.
  9. I met & married the red headed fox all within 6 weeks and it was the best decision ever. Our love story can be found here.
  10. I have quiet a few siblings, 1 brother, 1 half brother, 2 step sisters and 2 adopted sisters.
  11. I am the oldest of them all.
  12. I'm not a big fan of milk, unless peanut butter is involved.
  13. I get annoyed very easily.
  14. I used to get up and go to my great grandparents house almost every morning before school so I could have breakfast with my great grandfather.
  15. Turning 30 freaks me out a little, thank goodness I still have a few years.
  16. Having a kid that starts school this year freaks me out too, why does the time have to pass so quickly?
  17. Every summer growing up the whole family would go camping at the river for 11 days and it still remains to be some of the best memories I have of my childhood.
  18. If we named our children after the places they were conceived then Harper would be named Georgia and Kaylee would be named ghetto ass Killeen Pershing. Good thing we didn't.
  19. I carry pink pepper spray on my key chain.
  20. Driving at night makes me anxious.
  21. I love pistachio ice cream.
  22. I have to sleep with the fan on, it freezes the red headed fox out.
  23. No one can make me laugh like the red headed fox.
  24. I think of my brother as one of my best friends, he gets me.
  25. I think I'll always be a daddy's girl.
  26. I could watch Teen Witch over and over and over again.
Holy smokes that took a while to come up with all those. I'll do another installment again soon. Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

I have a confession to make....

I have never read To Kill a Mockingbird.  



I know, shocking right? Hasn't everyone read that book? Some of you may even be thinking "Wait a minute, isn't your son named Harper Lee?" Well hold on right there. Yes my son's name is Harper Lee, but he wasn't named after the author. He was named after his great great grandfather {Sammie Harper} and his dad {Christopher Lee}. So there you have it, no reading of Harper Lee books for me, that is until yesterday.

The red headed fox and I were laying in bed and I had just finished up Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris (True Blood anyone?) and I was looking at my stack of books I keep on the bed headboard. I picked up To Kill a Mockingbird and flipped through it but didn't really give it the attention it deserved. I mean come on, I had just finished a Vampire/Werewolf masterpiece (ok, lets be real, that last book wasn't near as good as I had hoped) but still. When I went to put it back in the stack the red headed fox looked over to me and said "Is that To Kill a Mockingbird? That's a great book, GREAT book" nodded his head and went back to what he was doing. Excuse me?!? You mean to tell me that the red headed fox (who doesn't read near as much as I do if ever) has read To Kill a Mockingbird and I haven't? Well, you all know I had to read it then.

So if you'll excuse me I have some reading to do. Hope you have a lovely Sunday night!
