Du Jour…

photo du jour, a nod to the oh so talented Jeff Newsom

In leu of Five Senses Friday, I thought I’d sing you the ABC’s instead….

A – Age: I’m 24. Nate is 26. I’ve decided that I’m going to have a big birthday party this year (quarterlife crisis and all). And rum cake. Definitely rum cake.
B – Bed size: Queen. One day I’d love to upgrade but right now buying a new mattress is low on the priority list. (Directly under file receipts and go to the dentist.)
C – Chore you hate: We both hate vacuuming. Which is handy since we just moved into a condo with zero carpet. Victory dance!
D – Dog’s name: Between the condo association’s rules and our busy schedule, we just can’t swing it right now.
E – Essential start your day item: Coffee with delicious creamer. My favorite is the Belgium Chocolate Tofee. Nate likes Vanilla.
F – Favorite color(s): Right now I’m loving jewel tones and neutral earthy colors. Nate loves royal blue.
G – Gold or Silver: Neither of us wear a lot of jewelry.
H – Height: I’m 5’3 and Nate is 6’2.
I – Instruments you play: Nate is an amazing drummer. Melt-your-face-off-amazing. Not even kidding.
J – Job title: CEO ;)
K – Kitchen wish list: A magnetic knife strip. Those are fancy.
L – Living arrangements: Currently in a small condo in downtown Orlando.
M – Moment you’ll never forget: Nate stealth-proposing on our cruise ;)
N – Nicknames: I just realized that I haven’t called Nate by his old nickname in about a year. What happened to that?
O – Overnight hospital stay: I’ve never been in the hospital *knock on wood like 15 times*
P – Pet Peeve(s): Double standards. Can’t even stand em. Oh and passive aggression, seriously just tell us what’s wrong.
Q – Quote: “When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it.” That was my daily mantra for over a year! I still love it.
R – Right or left handed: Right.
S – Siblings: Me-None Nate- 1 sister
T – Time you wake up: Too early because Nate sets his alarm to go off every 15 minutes starting an hour and a half before he actually needs to be up. (See the coffee response listed above)
U – Underwear: Under there!
V – Vegetable you dislike: Okra. Nate hates green beans. Even though I make the most AMAZING green bean casserole, he refuses to eat it. Seriously people, it’s divine.
W – Workout style: Running, wii fit, yoga
X – X-rays you’ve had: Teeth? I don’t know about Nate. Does that make me a bad fiance?
Y – Yesterday’s best moment: Nate cleaned the kitchen (which was a war zone) and made us both the most delicious pasta dinner ever. There was a picture on twitter.
Z – Zoo favorite(s): We both love animal watching. And taking our cameras! Zoo date anyone?

Love and FRIDAYS,
Becka & Nate
