My Hubby!

Well, apparantly Mr. Alford has been reading my blog. My secret is out! haha JK! He is constantly throwing sayings I have used in this blog about his hunting obsession to prove to me that he has in fact read it. So, in honor of him being such a good husband (although I constantly seem to be complaining about his hunting craziness), I do truely love him and don't know what I would do without him!

So in honor of my husband, I thought I would answer a few questions about him:

My Husband!
1. What's his name? Andy

2. How long have you been married? 9 months

3. How long did you date? We dated 4 and a half years before our wedding day

4. How old is he?24, he is 6 months older than me

5. Who eats more? DEFINITELY HIM. Hands down. We constantly joke he has a tape worm.

6. Who said, "I love you," first? He did

7. Who is taller? He definitely is.

8. Who sings better? haha well I love you babe but I will have to go with me here. Not that I am the greatest, but he knows his singing voice is not the reason I married him! haha


9. Who is smarter? Well it depends on what the topic is I guess. He is very smart and full of useless information about anything you want.

10. Whose temper is worse? I will say mine. He has a temper but it takes a lot to make him mad. My temper comes out a lot more often I must say.


11. Who does the laundry? Well we usually share that chore, but only because he is so picky about his clothes. I hate putting up laundry so he helps with that.

12. Who does the dishes? Mainly our dishwasher. That was the first thing on the list when we remodeled our house, to install a dishwasher!


13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does


14. Who pays the bills? Most of the bills I pay. I mean we have a joint account so it's our money paying the bills, but I actually physically mail the payments.


15. Who mows the lawn? That is definitely Andy's job.


16. Who cooks dinner? Usually I do. He doesnt mind to cook and if we grill which we do alot, he grills the food.

17. Who drives when you are together? Most of the time I drive but only because he drives me crazy when he drives since his eyes are glued more on the side of the road than the actual road. He is always looking at everything but the road so for my own sanity, I drive most of the time.

18. Who is more stubborn? I will go ahead and say myself. =)

19. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? I would have to say probably Andy. Remember I said I was the most stubborn? He is really good about compromising and I try to be.


20. Whose parents do you see the most? Well we live really close to Andy's grandparents and Aunt and Uncle so I would say we see them the most. Although I work with my mom everyday and we see my family a lot as well because we are always doing something together so that might be a tie.


21. Who has more friends? Well I dont know. I think that Andy has more friends that he talks to on a regular basis than I do. You know, about hunting and such. =)

22. Who has more siblings? I do although I only have one. Andy is an only child.

23. Who wears the pants in the family? haha Well I think we try to compromise on a lot of things so I would like to think it would be eqaul but I think most people would think I do. Andy is just very laid back and I am a little more demanding at times but we do compromise a lot which I think you have to do.

Love you baby!

Meet the Flinstones...

This weekend we attended a halloween party at our good friends Kelley and Tates house. This is the second annual halloween party they have had. And as most halloween parties go, a costume was required. Now I love dressing up for halloween but every year it seems to be a nightmare (literally!) to figure out the perfect costume for Mr. A and I to wear! Here are a few photos from the last couple of years:

Halloween 2005

Halloween 2008:

I went as a cowgirl (I am missing my hat in this photo) and Mr. A went as Dale Earnhart Jr. as people tell him he looks like him all the time.

This year another couple we hang out with a lot that I have mentioned before, The Coleman's were attending this party with us. So we wanted to find something really fun to be. Michelle and I went on a search for the perfect costumes and this is what we came up with:

THE FLINSTONES!!

Mr. A and I were Betty and Barney and Peck and Michelle were Fred and Wilma.

Here are some more photos from the party:

Me and my hubby Barney Rubble

He was a good sport, unfortunately in this photo you can not see his BIG FEET!

Me and Kelley, she was a sorcoris (spelling?)

Some of the girls of the night dancing in the garage!

We had a great weekend and are really getting in gear for for the holiday seasons coming up! As I have said many times before, Mr. A is an avid hunter and the hunting season extravaganza's are upon us. This means that our mournings are spent with him in a tree stand and me still in bed! And many of you know how this is I'm sure, you have to listen to the friends talk for hours about what they saw and their whole day in a tree. Then if they do actually kill something you have to talk about it for months after they actually drag the carcus in, cut the meat out and store in in the freezer and most likely mount its poor head for everyone to see.

Don;t be jealous ok! haha It could be worse I say, and I love him just the same! Happy Fall Everyone and I hope you have a great halloween party to dress up for as we did!

Is is Over Already??

Why is it that vacations seem to fly by so quickly??? As they say I suppose, Time Flies When you are Having Fun!



We did have a fantastic vacation and are sad to be back to reality. The weather in Florida was great last week, they apparantly had record highs in terms of heat. It was over 90 degrees every day which for October is not the norm. We went to the pool, played golf, wondered around Disney World, played miniture golf, shopped til we dropped at outlet malls, ate seafood, went to Universal Studios, ventured through scare zones and haunted houses at fright night, got sunburns, etc. Now we need a vacation from our vacation!



Yesterday was spent catching up on laundry and relaxing. Today we are back to work unfortunately. I will have to say that all in all our vacation was great and I am sad to be back in town! It was definitely depressing to get off the airplane in Tennessee in the 50 degree weather! Although I am excited about the holiday season to come! This will be our first married Thanksgiving and Christmas!



When I have more time I will post the photos from this years trip. Until then I will leave you with a photo of us from this same vacation in 2005 (This is an annual trip we take every year):
