Something for the kids...
SO i realized that alot of my posts are pretty "Kayla-oriented". I DO have a Husband and he DOES have a life! I want to record more about him so my kiddos can read about their dad back in the day! So for family home evening we did a Alphabet Game where we sat down and thought of meaningful words for each letter of the alphabet that described one another! It was a little cheesy, chad doesn't do well with what he calls " typical BYU-I newlywed FHE" ideas but i made him, and i made him enjoy it too! :)
Here is what I came up with, hopeful some of these will surprise you and teach you (and by 'you' i mean my future children) a little more about Chad!
A- ASU, Chad has attended 6 different colleges, and will probably attend another before we are done with school, none of those schools where ASU, however, he has more loyalty to that school than all the colleges he has attended combined! LOVE that passion.
B-Baseball, how he loves that game, I know that I have a tender spot for some hobbies but chads connection with baseball is adorable, he just loves watching, coaching, cheering, learning and more importantly playing baseball, he is so good at it and I cant wait till we have little boys so he can go play with them!
C-Cocky i hate to say it but one of his favorite "joking attitudes" is " pretending" to be cocky! How funny . . . :[ to some people, I have to admit, now that we have lived together for over a year now and since i know just how UN cocky he really is, its actually is a little less obnoxious than it originally seemed! :)
D-Dreamer, its hard to dream when your in a dead end job, getting further in debt through school, and lookin like the next few years are going to be consistently low in progress of that, but Chad always has a dream, or a goal, or something to look forward to! Everyone has thier negative days but Chad is alwys thier to tell me how positive our situation is and remind me of all that we have to look forward to!
E-Empathetic, this sounds funny but with a gal like me i need someone that is empathetic who will sympathize with me but be able to comfort me without being brought down when I'm not in a good place. I like to see it as being in a hole, chad is able to stay out of the hole and offer a hand to help me out instead of sitting in the hole with me getting no where.
F-Forgiver, Chad is such an example to me of forgiveness, he really understands the atonement and through his understanding of that he has become and expert at forgiving! It comes in handy when your married to me :)
G-Gamer! Chads so good at any game he tries at first it totally bugged the crap outta me because i stunk at everything we did together and i became so competitive but he taught me to love it because as long as we worked on the same team, it made me a winner too :)
H-Home teacher, im so glad that he has developed that habit early in his life because its so inspiring to see his so dedicated to teaching others and being an active preisthood holder.
I-Indecisive- Love that man of mine but his desire to make everyone happy completly ovpowers his ability to make decisions. It takes us about 2 hours to figure out what were are going to have for dinner, can you even imagine big decisions?!
J-Joker, this guy cant STOP playing pranks and jokes all day long, infact we have on occasion instituted a no joke minutes where i can talk to him about a serious matter for a whole minute without the conversation going sour with a joke or a sarcastic comment...it rarely happens.
K-Kisser...and he is so good at what he does.
L-Laugher, he LOVES to laugh at everything and I never realized what a distinct laugh he has! he will laugh at awkward moments, not so funny jokes, my expense, and of course actually funny things, hell laugh at those too! I hope thats something he never stops doing.
M- Manly, Chad is a hunter, sporter, spitter, rough tough steak loving mans man. He takes pride in all his manliness too! I love it! Im such a girly girl so we balance each other out :)

N-Naughty, he is always walking the line of inappropriatness, its actually really funny. All bodily functions and intimate conversation is fair game with him, now he knows when he is stepping too close to the line and i give him the stink eye when his references are getting too risque for me but he is a naughty man!
O-Old! i mean this in a very good way, Chad brings so much knowlege and experience to our relationship, being 5 years older than me. Hes seen more, experienced more and has a few gray hairs to prove it. I tease him all the time, but he really is mature spiritually and emotionally and it really plays a big role in our relationship!
P-Punctual! So good for me! I love this, Chad is so good at being on time and being sure that we arrive and leave places according to a schedule! It was hard for me at first becasue i was NOT AT ALL punctual but its such a good quality of his that i am learning to love and be better at for him.
Q-Quirky, So so very quirky, he has his little quirks like, not having his feet out of the covers...ever! or he totally freaks out if the tag of a blanket is at the top by his face, in ANY circumstance. or how he needs to have extra butter on his popcorn or no popcorn at all! the list goes on and on!
R- Remenisant, Chad is always remenising, about anything and everything, our old house, our dating years, past trials, past triumphs, his family, all our "firsts" and its so awesome, i blog becasue i cant remember he doesnt blog because he can!
S- SO SO many for the letter s. Selective-hearing, Singer ( i think he sings more than ME), Short-tempered (ONLY in the car and with any rexburg driver/pedestrian), and Sweetheart, thats his favor thing to call me <3 <3 <3 and how i love it! i love calling him my sweetheart too, i think we talked about it one day and that pet name is among the most sincere things we call each other.
T- Tender-hearted! Sometimes Chad acts tough, or acts like situation isnt affecting him but that heart of his is so big and so aware of others feeling, thats undoubtably the reason I married him, his sweet heart and sensativity to my needs and feelings.
U-Undefeated, Mountain Veiw and Chad are one and the same, underfeated and proud of it! he is a competitor and he trys to convince me of how "undefeated he is but the only thing he is undefeated in, in my book, is by me, I would love to stay amde at him but i just cant, he always wins!
V-Vault babay, locked down. Sometimes Chad is like a vault and no matter how hard a try, he just isnt going to open up no matter how hard I try to get him to talk. At first it was really hard for me to understand but i like that he thinks before he talks and he is such a good listener that i think the vault is becoming more and more willing to open up to me!
W-Winner, at EVERYTHING. I used to HATE always losing to Chad but he has really taught me how to be competitive and have fun without winning and how to want to win!
X- is a ridiculous letter, we're just going to go with X-cess. He is a man of many wants, sometimes his desire for things out ways his logic and he will do anything to achieve his goals. Dangerous...maybe...inspiring...YES!
Y-Yummy, he is a bitter! I was never a real big bitter, id bite ears every not and then but Chad bites EVERYTHING! I actually had to designate some biting areas (these ares include my hands, ears, shoulders and well...thats it) he rarely sticks to the rules but he does it outta love! He's kinda converted me, as much as Id like to say that i was unbudgable on this one, he is kinda delicious!
Z-Zealous and oddly energetic! Its hilarious the things that man gets excited about! for example: Ordering any sort of special, at aresturant, his face just lights up, or going to see a movie that he has heard about before it hits the dollar theater, its like a special showing!
