Pick Six

There are a lot of "getting to know you" posts floating around right now, and I'm going to be honest, I'm too lazy to fill out all the answers to all the questions. To remedy that I have six quick things to share about myself.

Favorite movie?
Movie: Romeo & Juliet (the 1996 version with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes). When it first came out I was in 7th grade and beyond obsessed. This was my first real encounter with the updated version of Shakespeare's play and I couldn't get enough of it. There was even a time when I could recite the whole thing, as well as the sound track, word for word.

Something silly that I get excited about.
I don't know what it is, but I get so excited about staying over night in (good) hotels. There's just something about the coziness of the rooms, and the way you wake up in a cool, dark room with those down comforters enveloping you.

2009

Ahhh, Cabo. This was the first vacation Scott and I ever took together. The picture above is our first night on the beach, we went to a restaurant where we were serenaded. Of our vacations and adventures, Cabo still tops the list as our favorite vacation. This particular trip was also where I was sure Scott was the one.

Favorite go-to outfit.
Currently I'm very fond of a very relaxed, yet put together look, and it's more than easy to pull together in seconds.

Relaxed "boyfriend" jeans, a simple tee, a cute cardigan, and flippy floppys. I could wear this every day. Oh, and that little boy is, hands down, my best accessory. :)

Favorite beauty product.
I have a couple. The first two are for my unruly curls.
If I'm drying my hair a diffuser isn't even a question. And, before drying I must throw some Curls Rock, by Catwalk, in my hair to keep the tresses from getting too wild.

Each night I wash my face with a couple must-have products.
Eye makeup remover and a 3-in-1 cleanser for my face.

What I have learned since being married.
There's so much! Compromise is key. Learning which arguments are worth digging into. Knowing when to stop talking (I'm still working on this one). Most importantly, marriage is work. Before Scott and I were married my mother-in-law said something that has stuck with me, "There are days you may not like each other, but every day you must love each other." Truer words have never been spoken.

I'm asking Sally, Kristen, Krystal, Amie, Stephanie, and Laura to play along. Just pick six of the following questions and fill in the blanks!

1. What is one of your silly quirks? Or something silly that you get excited about.
