Friday Link Up

Hey there! Today I’m linking up with Miss Kimmyyyyyy!!  But first I have to tell you about our bizarre 15 minutes before bed last night.  It was about 9:30, I was just shutting off the TV and picking up a few things when we heard a car peeling out and driving like crazy down the streets of our small town.  Think lots of tires squealing and lots of acceleration.  We could tell they were on the ‘main’ street our dead end intersects with.  All of a sudden we hear what sounds like a crash!  I’m worried it’s some bad guy who was trying to get out of town fast but Andy thinks he needs to be nosey so he goes outside in the dark IN A BRIGHT WHITE T-SHIRT (yea, they won’t see that glowing in the street lights!!).  In the house I can hear people talking, so I man-up and bravely go outside in the dark with Andy.  We decide he’s going to get in his truck and drive down to see what’s going on. *side note, not once did I consider someone might actually be hurt and we should be good citizens and go check on them.  I obviously have no heart.*  5 minutes later Andy gets back and says there is a truck that is all jacked up half-way in the ditch just around our corner.  And the one and only cop in town is there.  So no one was hurt, it was just some idiot going on a joy ride, trying to impress someone. So that was 10 minutes worth of the 15 minutes.  The next 5 involve Andy going in to check on Brennan and finding a disgusting tick stuck to his sweet little head.  We had to turn on Brennie’s light, rip that little booger out and apply some Peroxide to the sore left on my little guy’s head .  Luckily the kid was so asleep he just sat there mostly out of it and didn’t know what we were panicking about.  I hate ticks.  Ick. 

Ok, now onto Kimmy’s link up!!

Describe your relationship with your spouse

• Oh wow, not sure how to describe our relationship.  We are sort of stuck in the 16yr old phase where we are goofy and weird and act bizarre with each other.  We have been together for 16 yrs so we are very comfortable with each other, no secrets, nothing hidden (ahem, bathroom duties) from each other. There is a ton of laughter in our relationship.  We still hold hands.  We like being together so when we go shopping we rarely go separate directions.  There is so much love between us.  We like to razz each other. I do believe we are perfect for each other and I know we have a great marriage.
