100 things II

You've Got to love her...Sarah was so excited to reach her 100th blog post of her "blogging life". Then a few days later she hit delete instead of post on some of her most heartfelt drafts and that brought her down to 91. So here we are at our "100th" for the second time. So that makes it my turn...SO for all you fact-crazed bloggers...this one is for you.

1) Sarah not only eats Oreos all the time...she drinks Chocolate Milk everynight before she goes to bed....even on our honeymoon.


2) Madyson looks like me, and acts like Sarah.


3) Aubrie looks like Sarah, and acts like me.


4) My biggest flaw is leaving soda cans where ever I set them down.


5) If Sarah could describe me in one word it would probably be supportive.


6)Madyson is getting to that age where she can do everything "BY HERSELF"...breaks my heart.


7) the first 3 months of Aubrie's life I had a hard time bonding with her...Sarah finally reminded me that she wasn't going anywhere and I better start building a relationship with her. So whenever I was off work she stayed home with me. She is now a daddy's girl...and I am wrapped.


8)For the first time in my life I am driving a car that I own, that I picked out, and that is not a piece of junk.


9)Sarah is Italian and sometimes this is great (passionate) sometimes this is scary (picture raging 5ft 3 girl with a handgun)


10) jk about a handgun...that would be considered a "weapon" in her book.


11) Speaking of weapons I like pocket knives. They come in handy at work and when packages need to be opened. Sarah freaks and tells me I am going to be arrested for caring it.


12)My first wedding ring was a cheap plastic..bendable circle. I wore it with pride until I got my real ring.


13) Madyson does weird things sometimes that makes me wonder where she came from..


14) Aubrie will copy her now...


15) Then sarah walks by and does the same thing....then I remember...my wife is weird so my children will be weird too.


16) Sarah loves to teach Aubrie new "tricks" this was cute until she started rewarding her with mini m&m's. She wanted a dog and got 2 kids but she still tries to train them.... j/k


17) The First Time I held Madyson I knew that I was supposed to be a father.

18) The First Time I held Aubrie I thought I am the luckiest man in the world. Two beautiful healthy girls and a loving wife. I do not need anything else.


19) I am the parent the girls go to when they want something...Sarah is the Time-Out Cop. If we have a boy Ill let her be favorite parent to him...maybe.


20) I would love 2 more kid(s). Children are our contributions to the world.

21) Sarah always tells me she likes me in my glasses, makes me wonder what she thinks of me when I don't have them on?


22) Each day I thank God for my family.

23) The first thing I do when I get to work in the morning is look at the results from the prior day.

24) If I could travel anywhere in the world it would be Europe.

25) I love steak...Sarah likes Seafood. Surf and Turf was created for us.


26)If you were to ask Sarah, "What is the sweetest thing Todd has done for you in the past six months, she would probably say surprising her with Hot White Chocolate the night of the Christmas Parade. She had been working on 2 floats all day and was freezing.


27) My favorite thing about mine and sarah's relationship is how we know what the other is thinking without having to say anything.


28) When Sarah and I first started hanging out she had a book she had created called "How to date a princess" It has things about her in it like favorite scents, candies, goals and dreams. I stole the book...hoping to steal her heart, but I think she thought I was creepy.


29) I picked out Sarah's engagement ring 2 weeks after meeting her. I knew I loved her and that she was my one.


30)Sarah likes to sleep with the TV on and the Fan off. I like to sleep with the Fan on and the TV off...You can imagine our conversations EVERY night.


31) Aubrie Kate loves to watch Toddlers and Tiaras or Little Miss Perfect. It is right up there next to Sesame Street and Yo Gabba Gabba.


32) Speaking of...what is going on with children shows today? Sesame Street is "New Aged"...Yo Gabba Gabba is weird. Kai Lin has friends name rentwo and ho ho....What happened to the Flinstones, Smurfs, and Jetsons?


33) I never had the "birds and the bees" talk.

34) Sarah tells me all the time the reason we have two girls is because of the way I treated girls growing up...she says now I am the father that is going to have to comfort girls.


35) As silly is it sounds, Sarah saves all the fortunes from our fortune cookies. I guess she is waiting to see if they ever come true.


36)She also saved all the cards, roses, and stuff I gave her when we were "hanging out".


37) Our first dinner date was to Outback. She likes the crawfish tail appetizer.


38)I was a car salesman once....worse job ever.


39) I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.


40) Sarah calls our family the "Jerry Springer Family" She has Her Parents (Johnny and Debbie) her half sister and half brother (wesley & shannon) Her BioDad (Bob & his wife Paula) her 1/2 brothers (gauge & tristen) her biomom (becky & her husband..even though they have never talked to each other)her 1/2 sisters Renea & mary...then I have my Mom & Stepdad (Rusty) my dad (Ricky) his exwife who is still like my step mom (Donna) together they had Nick (my little brother) and Donna had Corey & Casey from her first marriage...confused yet?


41)When you ask Madyson "Where does Jesus live?" She responds with "In My Heart."that makes me so happy, even more happier that she learned this at Sunday School and understands it.


42) The greatest thing Sarah has ever done for me was say yes.

43) I prefer to start my life from age 20 that is when I figured out who I wanted to be, who I wanted to be with.

44) The thing I miss most about high school is sports.
