Tagged!

Well I may be new at doing my own blogging but I've been blog stalking long enough to know what all this "tagging" is about. But instead of answering the same long tag Amelia did, I'm choosing the '6 Things About Me' tag. sorry Amelia, hee hee.

1. I always try to peel an orange in one peel. Kinda OCD, I know, but it is challenging. I think I'm maybe 4 in 10 with normal sized oranges but probably 9 in 10 with the little clementines.

2. I'm constantly thinking of funny things that I would never do. Like really rock to my music while on the treadmill at the gym- seriously, how do people run so unaffected by the music they work-out to? or start up conversations in the stalls in the bathroom.
One time Stef and I actually carried out one such plan to fall off the ski lift. But when it turned out more hazardous then hilarious to the people around us, we were the only ones laughing. but boy did we laugh!!

3. I rarely can witness a fall without laughing. Even hearing about them makes me giggle. The ultimate- Ashlee at the Howl!!

4. I've been known to eat large amounts of food and once ate almost an entire chocolate better-than-sex cake. The feat ended up not lasting long in my stomach and I threw it up. gross

5. I have 36 nieces and nephews and 2 more on the way!! Bruce and I can't wait to have 13 kids of our own someday!

6. It was actually my belly flop from the high dive and not my abs that really made Bruce fall in love with me on our first "un-official" date.

A YouTube Favorite

I can't get enough of these British Biting Boys. I want one!



and not to be mixed up with this Charlie...

2007

This is a late pictorial recap from 2007 (and it goes kinda backwards) but in a loyal attempt to again reenter the blogging world, it's our best for now. Enjoy!



First snow!
Bruce with some Burmese refugees we met through the International Rescue Committee. I've been interning there and love it! The woman in the pic made that shirt for Bruce (and a bag for me) Unfortunately, Bruce is much bigger than the cute Burmese. Sadly you can't even tell how tight it is but I was laughing really hard!
Bruce's favorite: The Hunt



Halloween-skunks (and this blue line just appeared?)




The Summer!! Havasu Pie, Chicago/Nauvoo, canoeing, hiking, loving the sun








The Honeymoon! Scotland




The Engagement- January
The Wedding! May 10, 2007

psyche.

Actually, looks like we won't join the blog-o-sphere just yet afterall. We had great ambitions of posting wedding/honeymoon pics and some summer photos but who's really going to care? Bruce is busy with his business and I'm busy with nursing school, working and finishing up my internship at the IRC. Things are going great. We're very happy. Blog later.

Kabooom!

Welcome to Bruce and Melinda's Blog!
Well, we figured we should get with the times and create a blog. SO, here ya go. Since we don't have any pets or kids I guess we'll just have to talk about ourselves. Hope you don't get too bored. (Bruce is writing)
This pic was from the 4th of July.
love + fireworks.
We love summer!
