Secret Shames

So, I have been tagged by Chelsea about 3 secret shames that I have. I thought long and hard. I hope no one thinks less of me :) Here it goes


1. First, when I have nothing planned for the day and I am just sitting at home, I don't ever get out of my pajamas. Most of the time I don't shower either. I know it is gross, but I figure I'm not going anywhere.


2. Second, I love Hannah Montana. Ok, I'm not one of these crazy 14 year old girls that is obsesses with her. But I do love her tv show. I think it is hilarious and some good clean tv. Ben makes fun of me all the time, but I secretly think he is starting to enjoy it :)


3. Third and last, I hate shaving my legs. This one drives Ben crazy. In the winter I can go a couple weeks without shaving my legs as long as I wear a long skirt to church on Sunday. I see no point in shaving all the time in the winter here because 5 minutes after I shave the chills make the stubble grow. Plus it keeps my legs a little warmer.

So, now that you know my secret shames I tag Jessica, Ashley, and Heather.

1st Anniversary



Today is Ben and I's first anniversary. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday and sometimes it feels like forever ago. It has been a pretty fun and exciting year and we couldn't be happier! Here is what seems to be the anniversary tag I thought I would fill out.

What is his name? Benjamin Caleb Allen Fuller

How long have you been together? Including dating 1 1/2 years

How long did you date? 4 months (but I met him about a year before that when I was dating his roomate)

Who eats more? Definitely him, he always eats what I don't finish plus his.

Who said I love you first? He did...but i couldn't quite understand him the 1st night so he said it again the 2nd night and I said it back then.

Who is taller? He is

Who sings better? He definitely does.

Who is smarter? He is. . . it amazes me the random stuff he knows

Whose temper is worse? I think we are both pretty calm. I get irritated more though.

Who does the laundry? Unfortunately me

Who does the dishes? It depends on who cooks. Whoever cooks doesn't have to clean up, so I usually do them.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do...not sure why.

Who pays the bills? I do.

Who mows the lawn? He does.

Who cooks dinner? Actually both of us. Ben is the better cook though.

Who drives when you are together? Ben, he doesn't like my driving.

Who is more stubborn? Ben, I always have to give in first.

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Definitely me, I think it's a guy thing to not be able to admit when they are wrong :)

Whose parents do you see the most? Ben's, but they only live about 1 1/2 hours away.

Who kissed who first? Ben kissed me first, but apparently I was giving him the look, whatever that is.

Who asked who out? Ben asked me, he took me to Tennessee to watch the Florida Gators play Vanderbilt in football along with his brother and sister-in-law and their 7 kids (which he failed to mention until we were already there)

Who proposed? Ben did. On New Year's Eve at midnight he made me get up to kiss at midnight and got down on his knee and said all these sweet things and proposed.

Who is more sensitive? That would be me by a long shot.

Who has more friends? He has more that lives close, but overall I think I do.

Who wears the pants in the family? Ben thinks he does, so we will just let him continue thinking that :)

I love you and can't wait to spend many more happy years together!

Opening Weekend!

So, this past weekend was a milestone for Northwest Arkansas. We finally got a professional sports team. It is the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. It is only AA baseball, but hey it's a start :) They are an affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, which for those of you who know who they are know that they aren't the best, but we were so excited that we decided to buy season tickets. I don't think either of us realized how many games there really are, but we are way pumped. They are front row down the third base line. The only down fall is that the tarp to cover the field when it rains is right in front so no reaching over the fence for foul balls. So opening night they went all out. Joe Nichols sang the national anthem (he is from this area)

They did a flyby and they brought the mascot, Strike the Sasquatch, to the field in a helicopter(he was supposed to skydive in, but the wind was blowing too hard).



We know the girl that is over promotions, so Ben got suckered in to racing an adult size tricycle from first base around the home plate to third base. He came in 2nd, but he still had a blast doing it. He is the one on the red trike in the blue jacket.


The cutest thing was this golden retriever that would take water to the umpires in a basket. I wasn't able to get the best picture, but here is one.

They only won one of the three games, but over all it was an exciting weekend for us!


Also, the weekend before was my birthday! Nothing too exciting, but my parents did bring me their boat! Ok not really, but they are letting us use it until it sells. It will still be a month or so until it is even remotely warm enough for me to get into the lake, but we are looking forward to it. We watched conference, went shopping and went to an Arkansas Razorback game. As you can see in the picture it was freezing. I think it was like 43 degrees, plus a wind chill. Needless to say we didn't stay the whole game, but it was a very enjoyable time.

Bittersweet!


For those of you who haven't realized it yet, Ben is a HUGE Florida Gator fan. Well this year in basketball they didn't quite make it into the NCAA tournament, but in Ben's defense they start all underclassmen (he always has to point that out). And as all you in Arizona know ASU got screwed in the whole tournament selection and didn't get in either. So both these teams met last night in the NIT tournament. For me it was a bittersweet meeting. Deep down I wanted to see ASU win, but for the sake of a happy household I needed Florida to win. Ben is not a happy camper when they lose. In fact, I kept telling Ben I was going to wear my ASU shirt, even though I don't have one. The Gators started out with a pretty good lead, but ASU fought back and in the 2nd half gained the lead. Lucky for Ben though, the Gators came back to win the game. It was an exciting rival for the Fuller household, considering it is a rare occasion when Florida and Arizona teams get to play each other! This is for Ben, GO GATORS!!!
