The Randomness

Okay, so I've been tagged by a few people to post my randomness. But, I think that I've posted that before so, I twisted the game a little. I decided to post 25 random things about my sweetie. Here they are:

1. He loves basketball.
2. He grew up on a cattle ranch.
3. He has the patience of Job.
4. His favorite color is blue.
5. He is an excellent tenor and can harmonize with just about any song.
6. He is an “early-to-bed-early-to-rise” kind of guy (like 4 am early).
7. He is willing to sacrifice everything for his family.
8. He only truly feels at home on the mountain.
9. He loves cookies to be cooked just enough to be done, but still soft.
10. He likes long hair on girls.
11. He has an extraordinary talent for killing and disposing of snakes without me even knowing (until the kids blab).

13. He is an amazing husband.
14. He doesn’t like to read, but loves books on CD.
15. He is a really good dancer, especially country western.
16. He does service in the neighborhood all the time.
17. He bites his fingernails (which drives me nuts).
18. He is devilishly handsome.
19. He knows what it means to be a real Dad and never ever thinks that spending time with the kids is “babysitting”.

Pay it Forward . . . for a gift from ME!

I got this from my sweet sissy-in-law's blog:

"Here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well-before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!"It will be fun and it will give me an excuse to make something!!"

Pay it forward, and I will send the first three to comment a homemade gift from me!!

Stupid

Have you ever done something so stupid you just wish you could go back in time and change it? Well, that's me right now. Ryeley and I went to a baptism on Saturday for one of her little friends in the neighborhood. Jaycey decided that she wanted to come, though I'm not sure why. I was leading the music and Ryeley was giving a prayer. Well, Jaycey is 4 and she doesn't sit still very well. In fact, she's really good at being a terror in meetings. She was wiggling and talking so finally, she asked to wear my ring. I thought, if it will keep her quiet then OKAY! I gave it to her and then went to lead the final song. I forgot to get it back from her before we left. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!! So, it's not hard to guess that my ring is gone. We searched everywhere, called everyone and have talked to the bishop of the ward that goes to that church a few times. I can't believe my wedding ring is gone. So, if anyone happens to come across a stray wedding ring at the new Harrisville Stake Center, please call. AARGH!
