The VB's




I have seen this on many blogs and felt like doing it while my husband plays Call Of Duty! (Please tell me my husband isn't the ONLY one addicted to this game.....)



What are your middle names? Ladd goes by his middle name actually and mine is Elizabeth

How long have you been together? Our first date was July 2004 and and we got married 4 years later!

How long did you know each other before you started dating? The first time I met Ladd was when I snuck out to his house in 8th grade with Heather so..... 2 years

Whose siblings do you see the most? Ladd works with Brody so probably his but we see mine once a week

Do you have any children together? When we can afford one we definitely will!

What about pets? If we could we would have a small dog (Ladd says a big, we'll have to figure that one out)

Did you go to the same school? Davis High (he made me a true dart!) and WSU

Who is the most sensitive? Hmmm.... probably me

Where do you eat out most as a couple? This is sad but Wendy's.... if we feel like driving a little farther than Costa Vida

Where is the furthest you have traveled as a couple? Cabo San Lucas or Florida... whichever one is farther?

Who has the worst temper? Ladd gets mad easier but I get mad for longer when I get mad

Who does the cooking? Always me. Sometimes Wendy

Who is more social? Definitely Ladd... we will be places and see people we both went to high school with and they will talk to him forever and not say one word to me. Plus he's so easy to get along with

Who is the neat freak? Neither of us are neat freaks but Ladd will usually clean up more than I do. A messy apartment doesn't bug me when I have other things to do!

Who is the most stubborn? I would say Ladd, he would say me.

Who hogs the bed? Occasionally I'll wake up and Ladd will be completely on my side of the bed

Who wakes up earlier? Usually me unless Ladd has something special for work

Where was the first date? American Idol concert and then make-out point!

Who has a bigger family? ME!

Do you get flowers often? I don't like Ladd to spend money on flowers but he always gets them on special occasions anyway

Who eats more? It used to be me but since Ladd has had his surgery he eats more

Who sings better? We are both awful and like to entertain ourselves and each other by singing

Who does the laundry? Whoever is home and remembers to do it!

Who is better with the computer? Ladd is better with all computer stuff except for typing... he never learned how to type!

Who drives when you are together? I prefer to drive because Ladd's driving scares me half the time

Who picks where you go to dinner? Usually me!

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Ladd...

Who wears the pants in the relationship? Ladd says me... big stuff we decide together though

Who eats more sweets? Me for sure....

Who cries more? Me!

What's your best day together? I love Sundays because we both have the day off and we get to sleep in and see our families

Where did you go on your honeymoon? Viva Las Vegas

Favorite date night? A good dinner and then games! Anyone who knows me knows I love to play games!

Favorite T.V. shows to watch together? Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Prison Break, 24


And now here's some recent pictures!

1 week later

Everything went well with Ladd's surgery and he has recovered nicely! We had a great experience with the staff (especially the nurses; thanks Tiff and Nikki!) and things are going back to normal for our family of two. Now he's just gotta avoid playing basketball and flag football for three more weeks!


Here he is waiting to go in

This Guy

Getting engaged

This guy is getting his heart fixed today... a little nervous? Yes I am. I'm more excited for this strange journey called "The mystery of Ladd's health" to be over and done with... I am the most excited and hopeful that after he heals he'll feel healthy and normal again. I love him SO much and he's my best friend in the entire world! Best thing that ever happened to me was falling in love with him. Keep him in your prayers today for me!

...IDAHO...

This weekend we took a trip to visit my grandparents in Idaho! My grandpa is awesome and took care of us the whole time from homemade breakfasts, a hike, fishing trip, square ice-cream cones, and four-wheeling. We definitely need to find the time to go up again soon!

Ladd and I before the fishing trip
Larry, the guide, and the other fisherman
Checkin out the snake river
Discovered that Ladd is amazing at skipping rocks!
Well Wes caught and released six fish and Ladd caught zero but still had fun!
Jesse climbed a huge scary rock on our hike and then struck a pose
Hiking with our 73-year-old Grandpa...I had to try to keep up with him!
Family picture
My grandparents are so cute! My grandma is amazing and has been through more health problems than anyone I know. Just to name a few I can think of...kidney disease, eye and breast cancer, hip problems, foot problems, allergic reactions, and most recently a bleed in her brain which they attempted to repair with surgery. She had to shave her head but her hair is growing back and I think she looks so cute with it! She is still recovering so we hope she continues to do so and look up to her so much. Aren't grandparents the greatest? I'm so lucky to have 4 of the best.
