Wednesday Wishes {1} ...

I recently stumbled upon Brooke's blog Bright Wishes and it happened to be a Wednesday...she has a link-up called Wednesday Wishes and I thought I'd try it out this week!

ONE~ I would love a cute pair of wedges for this spring/summer...

TWO~ I want to learn how to bake pies...my Dad and grandma have just planted all kinds of fruit trees at the lakehouse and this summer I would love to be able to use some of them to make pies as pretty as this...

Recipe a la Annie Eats

THREE~  SUNSHINE!!! It's been dark and cloudy here all week and I could really use some warm sunshine...it's almost May for goodness sakes! 

FOUR~ for the Bridal shower I'm throwing on Sunday for my BFF to go well

FIVE~ to start growing some vegetables and herbs, especially if I can find some cute herb stakes like these...

For those of you who would like to link up and share your Wednesday Wishes...

Album love...

We have gotten such a tremendous response on twitter (and everywhere else) about the new album that I thought I'd share some of what people are saying. You guys have really blown Dave and I away with your responses...I mean I knew this album rocked even as it was being made during our time in the studio, but to hear all of you getting as excited about the album as we are is truly amazing...

100 things about me {part 2}...

26.  Until Dave and I got married I had lived in Kansas my whole life…

27.  …I have now lived in Maryland, Tennessee, and soon to be Texas! (maybe)

28.  I’m addicted to Sriracha hot sauce…I use it on 99.99% of the food I eat and I use it until I hurt (my nose is running, my eyes are watering, and my tongue is on FIRE!)

29.  I collect angels 

30.  I’m a vegetarian, have been for a year now…

31.  I went to a very small high school…I graduated with 50 people in my class...

32.  …I went to that school from pre-school through graduation, most of my classmates did the same…we’re like family

Our Pre-school graduation :)

33.  I have only broken bones they don’t put in casts (nose, tailbone, toe)

34.  Dave proposed to me after knowing me 4 months 

35.  Anytime I need a really big smile, I just go look at this picture…seriously people how can you not smile when you look at this? You can’t.

36. I'm a snuggler

37.  Mexican food is my favorite and I NEVER get sick of it

38.  I’m blind as a bat…once I take my contacts out at night I can’t see anything…       

39.  ...someday I hope to have Lasik surgery so I can see when I wake up in the morning, how wonderful that will be!

40.  My hair is naturally curly, but I prefer to wear it straight or curled because then it's controlled

41.  ...but I've been trying to wear it curly more often because Dave likes it best that way, and it's much better for my hair

My cousin AJ and I trying on Grandpa's hats circa 1987ish

42.  I make a lot of faces when I talk, I feel like that combined with different voices helps me get my point across :P (see above pic)

 43.  My favorite movies are Pretty Woman, Garden State, and Across the Universe…

44.  ...favorite TV shows are Everybody Loves Raymond, Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill (yes I still watch that show), Dexter, and Weeds

45.  The best present I’ve ever gotten was my Canon DSLR Dave gave me for Christmas ‘09

46.  I love to read and I usually have about 5 books going at once...

 47. ...my favorite books are The Giver, Prozac Nation, The Giving Tree, When God Winks, Only a Woman, and The Fountainhead

48. I love animals and can't wait until Dave and I get a dog...I love big dogs like Golden Retrievers and all black German Shepherds...

49. ...but some day I would also love to have a little dog like my Mom and John's Chihuahua...Libbie is queen of the house...

My brother Logan and I with Libbie, Easter '08

50.  Sometimes I miss taking college classes, but I guess that's a good thing since eventually I want to go back and get my Masters...

...ok next 25 to come a week from today, let me know if there's something you want me to answer or something you think I should add! And in case you want to link up...or go here to see Part 1
