what do you know about that!

I am gathering up some blog posts for y'all, but for now I am going to share a little something that I saw over at Wifestyles.

If you really knew me you would know...

- not many people call me by my first name (Hannah)
my dad and brother: boo or boo boo
my high school friends and my mom: Han
my college friends and sorority sisters: Hannah Neal
my last job (wedding and events florist): fluffy -I prefer my floral arrangements full, lush and fluffy!
my 2 year old niece: something that sounds like Aunt Hannie
and my husband: shim or shimmy (don't know where it came from, but it has stuck!)

truthfully it sounds so weird when someone does call me by my first name only

-I DVR every show that sounds interesting to me and don't always watch the show later on (my husband does not care for that habit of mine)

- I rarely ever buy a piece of home decor or furniture and leave it be, I like to give it my own touch

- I have an obsession with all things weddings and would do my wedding over (to the same man) in a heartbeat

- I had a different major for every year I was in college, but it only took me 1 extra semester to finish

- I am a slight germ a phobe - the bottom of shoes and jeans gross me out the most, as well as any uncooked meat or eggs

- I am messy but clean

- I love bling, crystals, feathers and big hair - I believe that I belong in Texas!

- I have a pretty colorful personality, but hardly any color in my home. Our apartment consists of brown, black, silver, gold, white and a little red.  I would like more color but I am...

- very indecisive. BUT when I do know what I want - you will know it!

- a crier, it does not take much to get the tears flowing.  I am quite sensitive.

- one of my most prized possessions are the cowboy boots my mom gave me in high school - they were hers in her early twenties.  I have worn them during some of my most memorable moments, including our wedding.

- I don't like ground beef or really beef in general and I don't eat much chicken either.  I stick to turkey and pork - I think it is a texture thing or something??

- I could craft for a living.  Give me some glitter and paint and I am set for hours.

- I would do anything for my nieces and nephew - they bring me such JOY!

- my husband is my best friend - if he is by my side I can do anything!

- I don't enjoy the outdoors during the summer - bugs, sweating, my allergies and more sweating.  I do love the fall and winter!

- I love sleep, but have problems sleeping at night.  A friend once told me that it is called FOMO: fear of missing out or INSOMNIA! 

- I love CHRISTMAS, it is such a magical time of year and makes me so happy!  I love celebrating the birth of Christ as well as listening to and singing Christmas songs, decorating and being with ones you love!  I even have a countdown on my phone, right now there are 158 days, 6 hours, 49 minutes and 56 seconds til Christmas!

There are so many more things, but that is just a glimpse!

What are some things people would say they knew about you? 

Jeeeeep!

 We have inherited Matt's dad's Jeep since the move to Thailand and have been having so much fun taking the doors off for the first time and cruising down River Road here in Louisville.  We also took a road trip with the top off to Indianapolis and got quite the sun burn!  It has been record breaking hot here lately so we have put the doors back on and the soft top on for now, just too miserably hot to ride around with no air (spoiled much?).  

Matt's new toy

 Gracie girl (our crazy cool and adorable niece) LOVES the Jeep and ALWAYS wants to ride in Unc Matt's Jeep.  We took Gracie to see her new baby sister in the jeep and got to cross the river over to Indiana where she was born.  Grace loved going over the bridge with the wind blowing her hair.  So much fun!

Gracie is too cool!

This video cracks me up!  We watched Gracie for several days while my brother and sister in law were at the hospital and getting acquainted with new baby, Ruthie.  Gracie was "eating" the wind/catching flies and yelling "JEEEEEEEP" and I gather that she is saying "SMILE" towards the end because I guess she thought I was taking a picture with my phone.

Gracie kicked back

We are so fortunate to have such an awesome "new" car!  Matt loves it and can't wait to get a new water toy to pull behind it (someday!).  It is so fun seeing what joy this machine brings to our sweet 2 year old niece - we are blessed!

Needing to post some pics of our new niece, Ruthie and our handsome nephew Teddy!  On my to do list!
