Name: Rebecca
What does it mean: "Tied" or "To Bind"
Weirdest Nickname(s): Nanna…yep, in the 8th grade all of my friends were giving each other nicknames from the story Peter Pan.

Jen stopped calling me that after we moved closer to my grandparents since it confused my Nanna.

What's your biggest pet peeve? I dunno if I can pick my biggest… parents who continue to shop at 11 pm at night while their toddler is screaming bloody murder cuz they are so tired and should be home in bed, the toilet seat cover being left up - maybe I think I'll fall in, a cashier talking smack to another co-worker and ignoring the fact that you are standing right there...

Happiness is: Sitting in the sun reading a book. Seeing some place new with my husband by my side. Holding Ethan's hand as we go for a walk. Ethan seeing me and smiling a big grin cuz he recognizes me. Josh talking to me as we head out of town somewhere. A Scrap Day/Night with Jen (those are always fun… ya know we don't get much done but we have many laughs), having a piece of Gerry Frank's Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake with a big glass of milk Sitting down to dinner with Josh's family. Starbucks with Kati drinking a coffee and talking like old times. Funny… I used to hate geraniums (Santa Maria's city flower which was planted everywhere) but I like seeing them now since they remind me of my home town. Looking down and seeing my wedding ring. Watching anything Jane Austin.
Three interesting things you have in the fridge: Sun dried Tomatoes in a jar, Margarita Mix, and Pomegranate Juice (hey, our fridge is pretty bare)
The cheesiest thing you secretly love? I love getting flowers and candy. I used to think that was pretty chessie….I think that was because I was never given any.
If you could be one appliance, what would it be? A refrigerator. It is the one appliance that I can think of that doesn't clean or cook…hey, I'm a little lazy.
I've always wondered why... the sun just can't come out and stay out.
When I want to laugh I…hang out with Jen. If she isn't in a joking mood, we watch something like Anita Renfro together and then we laugh so hard we almost pee our pants.
The craziest thing I ever did for love was say, "I will." and "I do."
The last thing I think about at night… did I turn out the lights? …seriously, I fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow.

Wow! I'm impressed!!
You know I recently learned that the Chipotle Burrito has like 1200 calories in it!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY BELLY FAT BATMAN! I cringe every time I drive past one now......they suck you in with their good tasting food only for you to discover that you'll have to be on a treadmill the rest of your life!
So, with this new news, I am a little happier that the nearest Chipolte is in Portland and we only go once every few months and it usually is the only meal for the day! They are so good!
yeah we have several around us.......and for some reason the thought of going there makes me ill..so we haven't been. which bumbs jared out!
