The Very Wed Game! A Valentine's Day Link-Up Post

In honor of Valentine's Day coming up, I am linking up with The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife for a Valentine's Day Link Up. This was so fun to do. I sat down and asked him each question after I filled it out myself. So much FUN!

You can view Our Love Story HERE. :D


How long have you been married?
Her: Since July 15, 2007, so 5 and a half years.
Him: Six years in July




Where was your first date?
Her: He wanted to take me ice skating but they closed down, so we went bowling, out to eat, AND to the movies instead. ♥
Him: [A Bar-B-Q place], bowling, and the park. AND we went to the movies because we saw Shrek 3. It was a very expensive date...

Where was your first kiss?
Her: On top of a play ground slide. Most random, I know.
Him: On the slide at the park..I told her there was a toll.

Who first said, "I love you"?
Her: He did. ♥
Him: She did...wait no...I did.

What were your wedding colors?
Her: Pink and white
Him: pink and white

What is her most commonly used phrase?
Her: "You know what I'm saying?" - At least that's what I think he will say. :)
Him: "Like"
*I do say both a lot, he did shake his head in agreement when I told him my answer.*

Who is her celebrity crush?
Her: Paul Rudd. Funny, cute, absolutely adorable.
Him: Seth Rogen. I disagree about Paul Rudd, it's Seth Rogen more.
*This was hard. They are both in my top five. I just like funny guys!*

If she was ordering drinks for both of you what would you each get?
Her: Jack and Coke or a Long Island Iced Tea. Depends where we are. Those are what he drinks in Vegas. :)
Him: A Jack and Coke, Duh!


Las Vegas, NV - Paris Hotel - 2008


What is the best meal she has ever cooked you?
Her: Island Pork Tenderloin or Enchiladas
Him: Enchiladas

What is the worst meal she has ever cooked you?
Her: One time when we lived in our apartment back when we were still engaged, we had just moved in and he was late coming home from work and didn't call and I tried to keep the hamburger helped warm by keeping the eye on the stove low. Burned straight to the pot. I also had an ANCIENT crock pot and we ate way under cooked pot roast. :/But this is why I am a Stouffer's Lasagna kind of cook. :P
Him: That roast at the apartment that was raw and I had to cook Hamburger Helper while she cried the night away.

What is the most-played song on her iPod?
Her: N*Sync - pretty much anything 90's.
Him: She doesn't have an iPod. What is this 2005?

What would she say is your most annoying habit?
Her: Picking his nose in front of me, go to the bathroom for goodness sakes!
Him: Thinking about myself.

What is the last thing she does before she goes to bed?
Her: Check E-mail. :P
Him: Checks her social media. Her phone in general.

If you could throw out one item of her clothing what would it be?
Her: I think he would say my nursing night gowns. I still wear them sometimes because they are so comfy but they are huge and aren't even a very cute pattern. He always complains about them but I love them. :)
Him: Those damn night gowns.

What would you say is your favorite thing about her?
Her: I have no idea what he would say. Use to be my hourglass figure but that went out the window two years ago (I'm more pear shaped now). Maybe my eyes?
Him: Her personality. She has a dry sense of humor that not many people get. But they don't matter.

What's her go-to drink at Starbucks?
Her: Tall Caramel Frappucino
Him: Tall Caramel Frappucino. Are they (referring to these questions) suppose to be hard?

What's her blog's name?!
Her: I don't think he would get this right...but I did just buy a dot com...
Him: NannyToMommy.com

He did a GREAT job!
I am so proud! This will make our NINEth Valentine's Day together and I can still remember the first one together and I am looking forward to so many more.


For bonus points: Anyone know where the phrase, "He's her lobster" is from? :)

Weighing In, I lost a TODDLER!

LilySlim Weight loss tickers

According to Wii Fit, I am as fit as a 20 year old!



I haven't officially weighed myself in a few weeks but since then I have lost 3.4 pounds!
So glad to see the numbers going down again. :D

What I have been doing differently?
My cravings subsided after Aunt Flow's visit but I was noticing that I was eating the same even though I wasn't hungry. So that was the FIRST thing I changed!

I still want to get a day planner and get better organized so I can get beak into a regular work out schedule.

The biggest inspiration for me, is my wonderful friend has lost 10 pounds since she started her weight-loss journey around a month ago. I am so proud of her!

The other picture up there?
Well that's Sweet Pea and I talking because everyone else has been lazy! HA!
BTW my daughter weighs almost 27 pounds according to Wii.
I have lost more weight than she weighs!
I can officially say I lost a toddler. ;D

Thank you all for your kind encouraging words along this journey.
I had a doctor's appointment Thursday
and I feel my goal is so close I can almost taste it.

I posted these pictures in my Wordless Wednesday post this week and on Instagram.



I was 15.
I can not believe I thought I was fat!
So sad what society warps your to believe. :(

Still randomly using MyFitnessPal.

I am so proud, these were shorts that were SNUG during the summer! :D

Anyways I had some great shopping trips this week!
The first Publix trip was actually a leak over from last week but
we have been fighting colds so I was pretty lazy plus I have been trying to get my blog, diet, exercise, couponing, and everything else in my life organized.
So although I have been saving money where I can,
I need to get back on the Dave Ramsey band wagon! :)

Kroger Trip:



I had intentions of getting with coupons but they were out AND I forgot my $0.50/1 Cheerios coupon that would have doubled but did manage to use this Saving Star one making them $1.49 instead of $0.49 that it should have been. I spent too much - $39.61 OOP (if I didn't have a $10 gift card from a campaign, it would have been more) but it's okay because I stocked up on the veggies needed to do the Copy Kids DVD review and some special items for Valentine's Day. :)
