She never compromises, loves babies and surprises

This is the first of a two part series. I realized that it's the small quirky things that make me love my ladies so much. This post is devoted to my top ten favorite little quirky things about Amber.

Here we go..........

10. She can flip me off with her feet. It takes a lot of concentration, and I can't always tell right away what she's doing, but when it finally happens it's amazing.

9. She has a thing for nerdy guys. Right after we got married she told me that she was a sucker for both bad-boys and nerds.
Me: "I don't get it, I'm not really a bad-boy".
Amber: "Exactly".
8. She sleeps with one eye open. She denied it for years. Then I managed to get this juicy gem. Enjoy, this photo may cost me my life.

7. She pinches, slaps and kicks when she gets excited. I wear protection when I bring home gifts. A few years ago we were sitting on the couch watching American Idol. Amber yells, "Hey Jared, check this out!" I lazily turn just in time to watch her kick me square in the face. "What was that about!?" I yell at Amber, who was looking just as confused as I was. "I don't know, it worked out differently in my head."
6. Amber is Julianne Moore's younger clone.

a.l.s.h.
5. Amber is a bit of a food snob. She refuses to buy bargain brands, and hates (and she means it) buffets of any kind. Yet she loves cafeteria and hospital food. We have been on several family trips to the BYU cafeteria. Here's the scene, 250 BYU freshmen wishing they were anywhere else, and Amber going for seconds. My head hurts when I think about this conundrum.
4. Amber can't lie. I know the second I've gained some weight, cooked bad food, or have a boogey. There are no secrets in our house. Amber is an open book. I find it refreshing. Who doesn't want to know when they have boogers?
3. Number three is a secret.
2. Amber has a psychic connection with her cats. They come when she calls, and they sleep the whole night curled up by her side. They don't come close to me...............anymore. Last week Amber was eating a tortilla and she decided to tear a piece off for Gretchen. "Don't waste your time," I said, "cats don't eat tortillas". Not two seconds after Amber put the tortilla down it was devoured by a hungry cat. "She wanted it" Amber said calmly, "She told me".



1. Amber does what Amber does. She is the most passionate and head strong person I know, and I love every second I'm with her. There are quite a few songs that remind me of Amber. It seems like rock stars are always falling in love with quirky, free spirits like my Amber. Two of my favorites are Meet Virginia by Train and Mercury by Counting Crows. Tune in next time for the top ten funny little things I love about Mikkena.

I love that you love your girls.. and Amber please don't kill Jared. ☻ Only secret spies can sleep with one eye open.. you could earn millions. (if that mattered)

Now THAT is love. Knowing someone's ins and outs and loving them all!

I loved reading that.

And how did you get the one eye picture? Your arms would have to stretch pretty far!!

Nice Jared - very nice. And just think, you only have 5 years under your belt. I can't wait to see the list in 10, 15 and 20 years :)
