---------------------------------

SO NOW, the next part of this award is to share with you 10 things about me.

Since I did that not too long ago in another post,

(see that here to learn more about me)

I decided I'd list 10 things about me AND my hubbs!

(Ill keep it short and sweet)

1. Parker and I will celebrate 8 years of marriage in August!

2. We love to just hang out, stay up late talking about serious things, and almost every morning we say we shouldn't have stayed up so late...but then we do it again!

3. we actually went to the same high school, but are 5 years apart

(6 grades...scandalous right? hehe :))

dont worry, we didn't meet until I was in college!

4. We have been through a ton of medical issues (including 8 surgeries), and a lot of financial struggle in our life together. More than most our age it seems.

But God has proven faithful through it all.

5. Parker LOVES being a daddy to his little princess.

He laughs about how he was so "scared" of this baby in my tummy and what it would bring,

And then when she came, he was so instantly in love.
