Dedicated to my Youngest Sister Lizzie :)

Well... today I was video chatting with my family (one of my favorite things) and my mom said I hadn't posted in a while and she was RIGHT! (like always :)) Anyways, my sister Lizzie was right there and she said I should write it about her. So here goes nothing.... Lizzie is basically pretty awesome for a whole lot of reasons....

FIRST: She is probably the funniest person in my family. She can make a joke out of anything and it is always hilarious!
SECOND: She can sing like nobodies business, she can sound like any artist in any song.. my favorite impersonation she does is miranda.. .you know as in miranda sings... here is a sample

I picked this video because Lizzie was singing the song that she sings in it today... so basically I had to.

THIRD: She is super loyal... like the dog in homeward bound or where the red fern grows (were they loyal?). Anyways, she is a great sister and I know she always has my back, and all of our other siblings too.
FOURTH: She could beat me up easily but she never does... probably because we don't really ever fight... I don't know.
FIFTH: She likes to spend quality time with me and she loves to shop just like me but she also knows when to tell me that something is too expensive and I don't really need it. Also, we both like the same kind of shirts so that is pretty awesome.

There are so many other reasons to love Lizzie but because my arm hurts from my mini golfing accident the other day I think I will stop there.

Oh and I made this recipe tonight... MAKE IT! It was sooooooo good!

When 2 is not better than 1...

So the title of this post may sound like this is going to be a post that is negative about marriage... but I would never do that because I love it so much :) This post is about being sick. It started out with me being sick... which was bad enough for me and Derek would take care of me and do the dishes and take care of things. Then he got sick too.... and our apartment is a mess! I had a little burst of energy earlier in the evening and I cleaned some bowls so we could have some canned soup (not so good) and I was thinking how when Derek goes to work (he is such a trooper) from 6-9 I would do the rest of the dishes, find a keeping place for all of our new gifts, and this last one I am embarrassed to say because I hate hate hate leaving clean laundry unfolded but I will admit I have a hamper full of clean laundry that needs to be folded. Then that burst of energy left and Derek left for work. He texted me saying I should get some fresh air and go on a little walk. I have been in our apartment for most of the past 3 days and hadn't been out at all today and for those of you who have seen my apartment you know that it is a lot like a cave except there aren't any stalactites or stalagmites hanging from the ceiling or that creepy dripping sound. So I decided that I needed some juice.. cranberry juice... which is weird since I only drink that on airplanes because it takes me a long time to drink the small cup. So I went on a walk across the street and to the little market to get some cranberry juice (apparently I have been drinking cran-apple this whole time on the airplane because this cranberry juice tastes way different) and I got some ice cream for myself because not much sounds good to me but that did. So tonight I will sit on our couch, drink tiny sips of my cranberry juice, and later dig into my ben and jerrys and watch the Thunder game until I fall asleep or Derek gets home and just hope that tomorrow both of us wake up feeling better or at least one of us!
