Friday Five!

5 Random Things!

1. Something you are OCD about
I am probably going to sound crazy here, but I am OCD about my Shampoo & Conditioner. I have rules for them:
1) They HAVE to match! Can't mix and match different brands/scents/kinds.
2) The label has to be facing me. Weird, I know.
3) I always have to use slightly more conditioner than shampoo!

2. Your favorite quote
Thanks to my sweet hubby forcing me to watch the Rocky movies {which really are fantastic, I must say} my favorite quote comes from Rocky Balboa because Chad and I relate to it SO much! We've been through a LOT both as a couple and individually. We have learned it's not WHAT we go through that builds our character, it's HOW we go through it.

"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward -- how much you can take and keep moving forward."

-- Rocky Balboa

3.What is the farthest you have been from home?
DUBLIN, IRELAND!! :)
When my brother finished his tour in Iraq with the military, he received a nice bonus... He wanted to destress {for good reason!} and knew I needed to as well so he surprised me for Christmas with tickets to DUBLIN! So the two of us went for a week after Christmas that year and it was absolutely amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat.

4.Do you do a real or fake Christmas tree? If I had MY way, we would do a real one every year! Chad, however, can't stand pine needles so we have used a fake one every year since we've been married. I'm starting to get used to it... ;)

5.First Blog you ever read? I don't know, really. I used livejournal FOREVER, since 2002/2003, and can't remember the first journal I read there. Here I've read some on and off but don't remember the actual first one.... hrmph! Sorry kiddos!


Yes, I am posting this a day early. ;) I know tomorrow will be crazy and I needed to blog tonight but had no inspiration. I'll link up tomorrow at some point though!
