All about Andy!

I saw this on someone's blog and although I wasn't tagged persay, this post idea was just yelling PLEASE POST ME. I thought andrew deserved some attention on here! And besides, I love to brag about my awesome man!

1. Where did you meet?
In portland. He was selling for Jeff's friend Ryker and he was also living with Jeff's little brother. Plus, he went to the singles ward where my parents are in the bishopric and my mom tried to set him up with all the cute girls in the ward (it's ok, no hard feelings, she was magnifying her match-maker calling!) I was home for the summer working. We were both BYU students so we started dating late July or August and just went back to school together and continued to date in the fall!

2. How long did you date before you were married?
We dated about 5 1/2 months before we were engaged and then we were engaged for a little over 6 months. so we'll round that to a year.

3. How long have you been married?
1 year and 4 months!

4. What does he do that surprises you?
His random dancing suprises me-- who knew he could shake it!?

5. what is your favorite feature of his?
hmm... i really like his hands and of course his matt damon smile.

6. what is your favorite quality of his?
I love that he's such a hard worker. He's also a great listener and he may just be the funniest, wittiest man on earth. I'm always laughing at him!

7. does he have a nickname for you?
hmm...he has lots. It's Haley when he's being normal (times few and far between), Honey when he's being sarcastic, Diaper Rash when he's being totally and completely out of control silly, and Hun the rest of the time, with crazy random ones all mixed in.

8. what is his favorite food?
Roast and Potatoes

9. what is his favorite color.
blue.

10. what is his favorite sport?
He watches ANY sport, i think he likes playing basketball and football best. You should probably know he use to do gymnastics in high school. haha. I love to bring that up. He claims it was only to "keep him in shape"... but it's really ok Andy- i don't judge you. haha

11. when and where was your first kiss?
I think at my parents house when we were watching Armageddon haha. I was really nervous! haha.

12. what is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
We love going to any type of sporting event or going outside and throwing the football around (the peewee one of course because my little hands can't grip a real one. haha)

13. do you have any children?
Not yet!

14. does he have a hidden talent?
Andrew is a wayyyy good dancer but you'd never know unless you've saw him at some crazy BYU party (haha) in his earlier years. He can shake it, let me tell you!

15. how old is he? 25, he'll be 26 next month.

16. who said i love you first?
I think I may have actually--- I'm not sure.

17. what is his favorite type of music?
He likes most everything except for country, much to my dismay. Thrice is his favorite band but he's cool with anything.

18. what do you admire most about him?
He has a super gentle heart-- he's really kind to others and always seeks the best in people.

19. do you think he will read this?
He looks on here once and a while, so yes probably he will.

LOVE YOU ANDS!

Horray for October!

October has been one fun month-- but hasn't left much time for keeping this blog up to date. It's bad when Andrew was the last person to post! haha.

So the first, my mom and sisters (Mandy, Jyl and Erin) plus the newest edition to the Silliman Clan, Jensen Cowart, came for a girls weekend over conference weekend. IT WAS SOO FUN! So fun we didn't take really any pictures! We ate, shopped, laughed, and were just girls! Thanks Barty for the initial idea!

Next, my way good friend Ashely from my frosh and soph. years at BYU, came to visit from South Carolina. It was sooooo much fun having her around! I sure didn't want her to leave! It was soo fun to hang out like old times and act like we were frosh again. She is so awesome and I just adore her! Hopefully she'll come back REALLY soon (hint hint ash!)

Finally-- this past week, my dad and mom came for the PLC meetings at campus and stayed the weekend with us. We have very stocked kitchen cupboards, a storage room full of holiday decorations for Tai Pan and some big smiles~ They were soo fun and we were sad to see the weekend end.

Perturbed in Provo

So I (Andrew) don't know how this whole blog thing works, but I have something to get off my chest. I was recently a little bored and maybe even a little lonely so I decided to take a look at "The Ellis Family" blog. As I perused I noticed a section entitled "What Disney Princess Are You?" I won't lie I was interested, so I took the test. The fact that it accurately pointed out that I am most like Pocahontas has nothing to do with this post. I just think the thing is rigged.
Some examples:

1.You're going on a date.. Which of these would you enjoy doing the most?
A: Being under water for hours on end never needing to come up for air while singing with some gay crab and a fat fish.
B: Taking a romantic walk with Jon Smith to some tripped out tree that talks too much all while being followed by some ridiculously happy grinning bobcat.
C: Flying to the nearest drive-in on some over-priced Persian rug while yelling at Abu to get the h*ck off your ride so you and "The Prince" can have some alone time.

2. What is your style?
A: You have loose morals so first your midriff better always be showing, you loved Hammer back in the day so parachute pants are a must, and you're embarrassed by your 4'2" 200 lb. dad who wears friggin elf shoes so you over-tan in the hopes that people think you're adopted.
B: You don't even have legs so who the heck cares what your style is. You do however collect a whole bunch of useless crap that you then write songs about.
C: You live in the woods, you probably stink to high heaven on account that soap hasn't even been invented yet. Your favorite activity, other than hanging out with raccoons and humming birds, is shuckin corn. But you look good while you do it.

Do you see what I mean people? Can you understand why I would be a little upset? I'm gonna write Michael Eisner!
