Get to know us!

I wanted to do another fun little post so Tanner and I answered these questions Monday night while watching The Voice (Cole Vosbury better win!). His answers are in blue, mine are pink.

1. What was your first impression of me?
She's wild.
Nice jeep. 

2. What is your idea of a truly romantic evening?
A back rub. That's it? Yeah. 
Anything with fondue. Lots of fondue. 

3. Which fruit or vegetable do you think I resemble and why?
A banana because you're hard to unveil....but you're sweet. ;) What does that even mean?? 
An apple. You're pretty solid. 

4. How have you coped with break-ups in the past?
Play golf. 
Play the latest Taylor Swift album over and over and ugly cry. 

5. Which decision do you regret the most?
Selling my first gun. 
Getting the Posh/Victoria Beckham haircut. 

6. What's the best decision you ever made?
Being baptized.
Getting involved in church again! 

7. What’s your favorite time of the year? Why?
Hunting season. But then I love golf. Next?
Christmas! I'm allowed to wear glitter. So much glitter. 

8. If you had one day left to live, what would you do?
Makes sure the dishes were done. Jk, spend it with family. 
Spend the whole day with my family on the river. 

9. What is something you did as a child that your parents don't know about?
In 7th grade when my class was selling candy bars I kept all of the money and never ordered the candy. 
When I was probably 7 or 8 I thought I was using the bathroom but I peed in the bottom drawer of my dresser while I was sleepwalking. 

10. What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?
(fart) I don't know, Racheal. I'm trying to watch The Voice. 
Some squid/octopus thing at a Hibachi Buffet. 

11. What things do I do that irritate you?
Your hair is everywhere. And you think Adam Levine is a good singer and good looking. 
You never close anything. Drawers, cabinets, drinks, etc. 

12. If you had to wear one color for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Blue. I like blue. It brings out my eyes. (His eyes are green.) 
Black. I love it. 

Documentation, Documentation, Documentation

I've always had a sense of respect for the people who always remember to take pictures. I can't think of how many times I've taken a trip somewhere and forgotten to get a single picture. Or prepping for a special occasion for months, only to leave my camera in the car throughout the entire event. Last year, for my birthday, Tanner bought us tickets to see Rascal Flatts and a brand new camera. After an hour of standing in line, we finally got to our seats and I realized I left the camera at the hotel. I want to be one of those people. So, as of now, I will take my camera and/or phone everywhere I go and I will document everything.

When I worked as a front desk attendant at a large hotel chain, one of the biggest things I learned was the art of documentation. There was a large red notebook that was to stay on the front desk at all times. We called it "the book" and it was the hub of all communications. Any time a guest had a request, complaint, or question it was to be written in the book. If there was a leak or a crisis, it went in the book. If two employees got in a fight, it went in the book. The weather? In the book. I mostly used it for drawings to make the night shift laugh, but there were times when it literally saved my job. Especially when we were under inspection.

I'm hoping this recent commitment will help me practice blogging more often. Today, I documented my lunch. A pb&j, carrots with ranch, yogurt, cookies and water. I call this gourmet dish "Brown Bag Speciale". It is important to note that the carrots and ranch may be replaced with grapes for a side high in natural sugar.

Bon Appetit!
