Happy Halloween!!

 Have you carved pumpkins yet? We can't wait to give out candy to the trick o' treaters and see our girls in their cute Halloween customes! My one stepdaughter is going to be a bumble bee and the other will be a love bug (looks like a lady bug). They are really cute customes for teens. Are you dressing up?

I know Christina @ At least we have each other is going to love our Steelers Pumpkins!!

It's the weekend and it's been 6 months already!

What are your plans for this weekend? Guess what we're celebrating...6 months!!! Wow...that means it will only be 6 more months until we celebrate 1 year! I love you my husband!

We're at six months since getting married at Glen Foerd Historical Mansion and Sara @ First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage is getting married this weekend at Glen Foerd!! CONGRATS!! ♥

Tag...I'm it and so are YOU!

I love being tagged...it makes me feel like I have friends! LOL!

So I haven't been on much because we're still in the middle of moving, unpacking, setting things up, but Im glad I popped on today because I might have missed the chance to play the Blog-Tag game that one of my fav bloggers Nan nominated me for! Check out her New York, fun loving, sports fan, post wedding blog @ Dancy Days because she's awesome and makes us all feel like we're friends! So here is the game....are you ready to be tagged?!



1. What was the first CD/tape/Album you ever bought with your own money?

Ok so these questions require some memory, which I never seem to have! I know we loved New Kids on the Block...had the big buttons, posters, CDs, and my dad bought Pay-per-view so we could watch their tour on TV! My fav was always Jordan, though I have to say his brother Jon is probably the cutest member these days! My sister had a crush on Joey...I think most girls did! But I don't know if that was the first CD I bought with my own money, it could have also been Mariah Carey...who was classier and not so crazy in the late 80s, early 90s...omg that makes me sound young! I always loved her voice and continue to love pop artist with real vocals like Christina Aguilera (sad about her divorce) and Alicia Keys (congrats on baby boy!).

2. What is your favorite piece of jewelry and why (wedding/e-rings don't count)?

I love wearing my sterling silver necklace and changing the charm that I wear with it. I have so many; a heart charm that my husband gave me when we were first dating, a four leaf clover that I bought in college because I used to be obsessed with the Good Luck Care Bear (I have stickers, a magnet, keychain, and an actually plush Care Bear (don't ask!), a 2005 charm from when I graduated college, a best friend charm from my MOH that says "Love, Loyalty and Friendship", and an aquamarine charm for my birth month (March)...I have other charms just can't remember right now! I have a few different sterling silver necklaces and one I have from my mom that I used to wear all the time...well in high school I was walking to the mall with my friend and I lost the necklace when I took my hoodie off. I was freaking out when I realized it was missing and looked all over but couldn't find it...when we walked home from the mall a few hours later, guess what I found on the ground! Can you believe it was still there?! And can you believe this Care Bear plush is going for $69.98?!

3. What's your favorite holiday & why?

I've always loved New Years Eve, you still have the wonder of Christmas with all the lights and decorations but you don't have all the hassle of shopping and worrying about what to buy everyone. Oh...and fireworks...wish I could have had fireworks at our wedding...that would have been cool! I would put Christmas because I love getting together with the family, watching the holiday specials on TV, and singing Christmas songs like Alvin and the Chipmunks, "Christmas Don't Be Late"...but I think it's horrible and tragic the way everyone rushes into the stores on Black Friday...lately I've heard of people getting seriously hurt and dying because they get trampled on. New Years Eve is fun, exciting, and always nice when you have your love to kiss at midnight! This New Years Eve will be our first as a married couple! YAY! And who doesn't love New Years Eve in Philly where you get to bang pots and pans!

From Dancy: "The next few I'm gonna steal from James Lipton. I always thought they were cool Q's."

4. What sound or noise do you love?

This is an interesting question. I'd have to say I love the sound of children playing and a child's laughter. It just makes me smile and makes me happy. It also takes me back to when things were simple and you didn't worry about anything...well maybe you worried about whether or not your best friend was going to let you play with her pretty Barbie because you had cut all the hair off of yours! But you didn't worry about boys just yet, or how much your wedding dress was going to cost, you just laughed and had fun because that's what kids should do.

                                                                        (Adorable kids!)

5. What's your favorite curse word?

This is funny! I def curse way too often but I'm trying to cut back! I use the word Bitch a lot...esp when driving! If you drive too slow, cut me off, get in my way...watch out because I'll call you names...in the comfort of my car with the windows up that is! I remember in high school I used to call my best friend a Bitch just for fun! "Hey Bitch what are we doing today?" LOL for some reason I hear Paris Hilton in my head right now saying, "Bitches" in her annoying little girl voice! I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "Yea I'm That Bitch"...but she didn't drive too well! If you are That Bitch I want to see you take control and drive like you mean it! Ok...that sounds wrong?! Did you know there is a magazine called Bitch?

(Bitches Rock!)

6. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? I would LOVE to become a fulltime writer...esp about weddings and the couples who are planning those weddings.  I would love for readers to get advice on marriage and why people take the big leap...lets get behind the couple, the marriage, and look further than just the wedding day. I know it's really the thing to do right now and that many brides find inspiration from their own weddings to become fulltime wedding bloggers, but I've always had a passion for writing. I love blogging on here and for AllWomenStalk and would really love to push my career in that genre.

7. What profession would you not like to do?

Hmm...Sales?! If I had to I would...you know to pay the bills! But trying to get someone to buy your product just seems like an annoying job. I was actually just talking to a coworker about his wife who was getting yelled at by her boss because she wasn't getting enough customers to open other accounts at their bank. So because people just want to come in to cash their checks instead of opening a savings account, get a loan, etc. it's her fault? People don't want to be bothered and they don't want to buy your product if you push it on them. They want to get from point A to point B in little time as possible and not be hassled by you to buy your hand lotion, cell phone contract, AS SEEN ON TV crap, or anything else they don't need! Don't you just love those people in the mall! It's not just the Sales people at the mall either, big corps have to have a Sales team as well, and even Realtors are in Sales...they want you to buy their home right?! I would just feel like I was always bothering someone...it's a cruel world out there!

8. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
 
"Here is your family....they've been waiting for you."
 
I don't care to hear about what I've done right in life or what I've done wrong, I just want to see my family in the afterlife and know that we will always be together. I would love to meet family members who died before I had the chance to meet them like my mom's parents and my husbands grandmother. I would also really love to see the loved ones who I have lost and who I miss with all my heart. I want to know that I will see my Aunt Ruth and my grandparents again and that my cousins are finally together again and hanging out like brothers should. I also hope that my friend Danielle isn't suffering any more and that in heaven she is cancer free. GOD BLESS THEM ALL. ♥

Please leave a comment when you post your questions! Thanks for playing!

Goodness...it's been a while!

I didn't forget about you and I hope you didn't forget about me! We're still unpacking...wow I didn't think we had that much stuff. How did we cram it all into an apartment? Thank you ladies for all the wonderful comments. It was a pain to pack or so I thought, because now I think unpacking is worse! With packing you just throw it in a box, with unpacking you have to find a spot for it all and then change that spot ten times! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Is it as windy where you are as it is here? We had 50 mile an hour winds today and tomorrow should be just as fun! We're hoping to get some pumpkin carving in while we unpack as well! What are your plans?

Moving...

We are so excited to be moving...but packing is not fun!! Will probably be offline for a few days while we get everything together. I hope my bloggers have a great week...and how wonderful that Autumn has shown! But for everyone in the Northeast...this rain is not wonderful! Hope all those getting married have a beautiful sunny day or had a sunny day this passed weekend! I know there was flooding in some areas. Hope all is OK now. 

PS thinking of my MOH and her husband who just went back to Iraq from his 2 week leave at home.
