Mr. Pendley

What is his name? James, Jimmy, Jim...Hey You
How long did you date? Our first date was July 6th
2001 and we were married December 29th 2001.
So 5 1/2 months.
How old is he? 28
Who eats more? I eat more chocolate hands down.
But he kicks butt with the ice cream!

Who said I Love you first? Well..he did, but I responded quickly!
Who is taller? James is taller but it's not much of a contest with me being 5'2".
Who sings better? Um....James isn't much of a singer. I pretend.
Who is smarter? I think it depends on what you want to know. He's an electrical engineer but I bet he wouldn't know the first thing about a flat felled seam.
Who does the laundry? That would be me.
Who pays the bills? Um...me again
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? James does.

Who mows the lawn? James mows the lawn and
being here in the south he gets to mow clear up
through November!
Who cooks dinner? I do but that's mostly because I'm
kind of anal in the kitchen. Although, he usually makes
some sort of breakfast food for Sunday dinner.
Who drives? We usually share the load.
Who is more stubborn? I am.
Who kissed who first? I think I did because I
was tired of waiting :)
Who asked who out first? He asked me and
he only did so because he figured that my family
was moving to MS and I was "safe". He wasn't
too keen on getting married young. Ha Ha!

Who proposed? James did but I already knew
what was coming :)
Who is more sensitive? I am
Who has more siblings? James does...he is the
6th of 7 and I am the oldest of 6.
Who wears the pants? Oh I don't know...probably
both of us. Although being the oldest in my family kinda
made me controlling. He might give a different answer.

I want to tag: Laura, Sharon, Kami, and Aubrey

Beautiful Natchez Trace

The Natchez Trace is a road that stretches from Nashville
Tennesse clear down to Natchez Mississippi. Whenever
James and I drive down to see my parents, we always
drive the trace. It's so beautiful in this part of the country.
Wow...I get to live here.....well not exactly here but you know
what I mean!

Christmas Vacation

Christmas found us traveling once again.
After being stuck in Denver last year, we vowed
never to travel during Christmas again. But I
suppose we're gluttons for punishment! We
started in a little town in Mississippi a few days
before Christmas. Of course before we could get
to my folks' house Spencer managed to throw-up
3 times! I'll tell you what, cleaning that up is not
the most joyful part of parenthood! The kids were
grateful to be out of the car. I guess being in a car
seat for 6 hours starts to get pretty "boring".
We had such a great time though! It was a mad
house of course but that was half the fun. All my
siblings camped out at mom and dad's. We ended
up being short on port-a-cribs so Madelin slept in
an "under the bed"storage box! I didn't mind though.
We had a great time with my family. After keeping
the secret from the kids for a couple months, we
told them about our trip to Utah. We had saved
that bit of information for Christmas morning
being as how that was a huge part of our Christmas.
So after presents and Santa we loaded up and
took off for the airport. Now the airport isn't too far
from my parents' home but we still managed to
get to the luggage check only 30 minutes to take
off! The whole flying thing is kinda overrated when
out of the 6 people four of them are under six years old!
We made it to Utah all in one piece and then drove
the last 20 minutes of our trip to James' parents
house. Again, chaotic, but wonderful! Evelyn and
Caitlin got along so well with their cousins this time
around. I loved every minute of it! You know,
we really didn't do anything special in particular,
but just spending time with family was really
all I wanted. All in all our trip was wonderful
except for the fact that we all contracted the
"super plague". That was fun!
