25 random things!

I did this for Facebook and thought it would be fun to post here too:

25 Random Things:

1. I am the middle child in my family

2. My brother and I were both adopted. I look exactly like my dad's side of the family. I truly believe God placed me in the Berry family for a reason.

3. I am addicted to chapstick and have been for 10 years

4. I am a terrible speller. I am sure there will be 20 things spelled wrong on this "note".

5. I met my husband online. I dated enough jerks in TN and had enough of the regular dating scene. One of my girlfriends met her husband online and talked me into doing it. It worked! I married my best friend.

6. I am so blessed to have the same girlfriends I have had for 25 years! I have a great group of girlfriends as well in Knoxville. The one thing I miss the most about TN is my GIRLFRIENDS!

7. I am a clean freak however my car is never clean and I never make our bed. I leave those two things to my husband Drew.

8. I am a bit of a hypochondriac.

9. I worry constantly. See #8

10. I love to travel. Hawaii is my favorite vacation spot.

11. I still throw fits if I don't get my way.

12. I have bought 4 houses on my own. The last house I bought was before I got married. Darn it if I cannot seem to sell it.

13. My relationship with my husband is amazing. He shows me what true love is every day.

14. We have been through hell and back this year but we know we will get through it as long as we have each other!

15. I long to be a Mom one day and pray God blesses me very soon.

16. My dad is one of 11 kids. I have 23 first cousins. We have such a close family and it rocks!

17. I'm obsessed with Pottery Barn

18. I hate to work out. Call me lazy if you wish. I just don't enjoy it!

19. I hate to cook as well. I really want to like it but I end up burning everything so I usually just give up when it comes to the kitchen. Drew hates condiments- sour cream, ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, cream cheese, etc.-- maybe that is why I hate cooking??? He won't eat a darn thing!

20. I love my two labs like they are humans.

21. I love medical TV shows. I always wanted to be a doctor but was too lazy to pursue it.

22. Jon & Kate Plus 8 and House Hunters are my favorite TV shows. I even have the husband watching them!

23. My favorite meal (since I was a child) is hot dogs and mac and cheese!

24. I have never liked going to the movies. I don't have the attention span to sit through them. The last 3 months Drew and I have gone to the movies once a week. I don't know if I like the movies or the popcorn better!

25. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband, family, and friends. Love you all!

Someone else has a change in attitude!

Tyrone has decided to be sweet again. He is still a bully but at least he isn't eating dog beds at the rate of 1 per day!

Visitors and attitude adjustments!

RENA came to visit me this weekend! Drew headed to Vegas for a bachelor party so it was the perfect time for me to have an ALL girls weekend. We went downtown to some great restaurants, rented chick flicks, graded her 5th graders papers, and just caught up. Thanks for coming to see me Rena Shae!!!! This is the one and only picture we took. The two of us drinking our dinner at Rosie's Mexican Restaurant.

Have you ever been mad at God? I am going to admit that I have been VERY mad at God lately. I know that is so wrong but I feel like Drew and I have been screwed with a capital S in so many ways this year. I was so angry all week and had such a rough few days, and most of all a bad attitude. When I came home from my trip to CT on Thursday night I came home the below- flowers, wine, and my favorite cupcakes. My sweet husband surprised me once again! Now all of this stuff is so nice but it was the card that he wrote that meant the most to me. At the moment I read it I was no longer mad at God. I had such a calm feeling.... a feeling of freedom. How could I be so mad when I am so BLESSED to have the most amazing man as my husband? If everything in this world turns upside down, I still have Drew next to me. That is amazing! So there you have it. I am no longer mad at God ... He has a plan for everything and it's about time I give it up to him! So I am....

What's been going on....

Here is the scoop:

Drew bought me the roses on January 29. Today is February 16 and they are still alive. I cannot believe it! Most roses die within a week. These are our miracle roses. They make me smile everyday.

My dad and Sara sent me these flowers on Friday. Aren't they pretty? When times are tough you can always count on good ole dad to make you smile :)

We headed to Wild Dunes for Valentine's Day. We ate at some great restaurants and just relaxed. The beach is fixed so we took some pics of that. We cannot wait to go back Memorial Weekend for a week. Our new tradition we started last year.

It was freezing!


A couple of weekends ago I went to the circus with Kristy, Julie, and Sam. I think it is my last time going to the circus for a while. It wore me out and I just wasn't into this year.

Cute Sam

We hosted a Superbowl wedding shower for our friends Brent and Whitney. Have you ever done such a thing for a shower? It was really fun and different idea.

These two idiots that can't seem to stay out of the pool now that the temps hit 65. Hmmmm. I believe the thermometer in the pool is still reading 45. I don't think this girl will be swimming anytime soon!

Lots of babies! Two of my friends had babies this week. My friend Joy had a little boy on 2/14 and my friend Jennie had a little girl today! That makes me smile!

Heading out with the TIGERS!

Drew just left to board the Clemson team plane to head to Boston for a few days. Clemson plays Boston College tomorrow night and my sweet husband is going with the team. He is so excited! I am in Boston once a month so it shows you how well we communicate about our schedules. Where will I be this week... Washington D.C. Darn it! Look for him on TV! Have fun Drew!!!!

NO he didn't!!!!

Tyrone is officially in the dog house! We went to dinner last night and came home to this!!!! This damn dog is 5 years old going on 6 months! You thought I was kidding when we called him Marley. He is SOOOO BAD!

Tyrone left his bed alone and did a number on Jackson's bed. Seriously?

Now he sleeps on the porch sans a soft dog bed. IDIOT DOG!
