Finch

For my 20th Birthday Aaron bought me a little orange kitten. I named him Finch like Aticus Finch in To Kill a Mocking Bird. I like him.I may be a dork for liking him as much as I do, but he's a funny cat. I like dogs and cats, but cats do better at just taking care of themselves, they don't need as much attentions as dogs do. Finch is an intersting Cat. I think the only reason he's lasted this long without Aaron killing him is because he's fun. Some might say he's a wierd cat which is true but he's entertaining. I am writing all this down because when we have our baby, I more than likly will not feel the same about Finch when we have a baby, which is expected.

Top 10 Things We Like about Finch:
1. He's orange. All the best cats have orange fur.
2.He's declawed. This may be a wierd thing to like about a cat, but its funny to watch him pat at things and nothing happens.
3. He jumps really high. Every morning when I brush me teeth I lean one hand against the wall and wait for finch to jump the 4 and a half feet to try and attack my arm. Its really funny to watch.
4. He's lays on his back. If Finch is laying on the floor its on his back. I just think its cute.
5.He always greets me at the door when I come home from work.
6. He carries a little stuffed teddy bear around the house.
7. He sprints from one end of the house to other.
8. He can survive being thrown 8 feet across a room.
9.He's soft and snuggly.
10. He likes to sleep in wierd places like under the TV or the shower. He even still sleeps in the shower after Aaron locked him in there and turned on the water hehe.

The Top 7 Things We don't like about Finch:
1. He's naughty. He always jumps on the counters. I will walk into the kitchen and there he is, but as soon as he see's me he's off like a bullet. I have learned to stop leaving glass cups on the counter because he knocks them off.
2. He's a bitter.
3. He's a cord chewer. He chewed through our Christmas Tree lights last year. I am surprised he survived the shock.
4.Cat Box... need I say more.
5.He likes to wake us up by attacking our hands.
6. He likes to pounce at our legs in the middle of the night on a trip to the bathroom, which I have to admitt is pretty funny, but annoying.
7. He likes to be right in your face when your on the the computer, drives me crazy

One Year Anniversary Concert

Tiny Lady A

Tim McGraw on the big screen.

Half way though the concert.

Waiting for the concert to start.

For our first anniversary Aaron and I got to go to the Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum concert at Cricket Pavillion. I love that Aaron likes to do things. I like to do fun stuff too, but he is proactive about actually getting out and doing it, unlike me. Anyway he found some pretty good tickets on line and we decided why not. It was SO much fun! The only downside was the lady who made me throw away my Bugels before we went in. It wasn't really that hot and when the sun went down it was perfect. And I have to say both Aaron and I were impressed with how good both Tim McGraw and Lady A sounded live.

It's Late....

It is almost 11:30 on a Friday night, and I am blogging for the first time. Aaron is working until midnight tonight. That is so late. I am feeling sentimental tonight, but that is probably because its late and my prego hormones are making me think. I am thinking about my best friend. Aaron is my buddy. We have been married over a year now. I occasionally think about what my life would be like if I hadn't married him. And I have decided it would have sucked. He works so hard to make my life easier. He is the best best hug giver (even if he is stingy about when he gives them... just kidding, but seriously). He makes me smile and and he is patient with my wayward brain. He makes me laugh too, which is very important to me. I miss him tonight. He got to go with me to my ultra sound appointment today to find out the sex of our little one, but he or she wasn't in the mood to give us a peek. The ultra sound tech said he thought it was a girl by the fact that he couldn't see any specific parts necessary for a it to be a boy. Aaron and I have both felt that its a girl, but you never know. So from now on until we find out if it is 100% a girl, I am just going to refer to "her" as a "girl". Anyway "she" was curled up in a tiny little ball in on the right side of my uterus. We were both a little bit disappointed to leave without knowing for sure what we are having, but everything looked in place and healthy, which we are thankful for. I am writing this down because the fact that this little one was curled up in a tight little ball, just reminded me of myself. I can get a little "tight" about somethings and Aaron is the best remedy for my "tightness". He helps me see things more clearly and helps me relax. So for the fact that this little one was curled up in a tight little ball makes me feel good that if that is a sign that this kid is like me, "she" will have a great Dad to help her have fun and see things more clearly.
