Easy Canvas Prints - 50% off canvas of your choice!

Canvas prints are all the rage these days, so when Easy Canvas Prints offered to send me a canvas to review, I instantly jumped at the opportunity! It couldn't have been better timing because Chris and I had just got our pictures back from our winter photo-shoot with Tucker Images, so we had brand new pictures to choose from.
We got the 8x10 canvas print. I love the quality of the canvas. It isn't flimsy and it is neatly wrapped around its frame. I can't wait to find a spot for it on our gallery wall!

Friday funnies and fancies...

I think I am going to start doing Friday funnies and fancies. I will list five funny things I have seen throughout the week, and five fancies (clothes, shoes, etc.) that I am craving. 
Starting with the funnies:
1. Yesterday I saw a guy with this bumper sticker on his window. It made me laugh out loud. Ha! Being someone who has ran one (one and only one...) half marathon, and it being the worst thing I have ever done, I find these bumper stickers quite humorous.

You can buy one here.

2. I have these three girls in my class who are dra-ma. Everyday there are tears. Welcome, 5th grade hormones! So glad you could join us! Wednesday, after talking them down from hating one another, back to friends, one of them comes up to me and says, "Mrs. Tucker...you always know how to make us friends again." She said it with the most genuine tone and with an adorable grin. Oh to be young and hormonal.
3. New Girl. If you're not watching it, you're missing out. 

4. Grace's blog. Got me laughing all day, eryday.
5. This is a conversation I have everyday...

And now for some fancies:

Happy Friday!

Linking up with Lauren!

24 things you don't know about me...

In honor of the day of my birth approaching on Saturday, I decided I would tell you 24 things you probably didn't know about me.
1. I wear my glasses five out of seven days a week. Contact hurt my eyes so bad. When I take my blog pictures, I usually just take my glasses off, so half the time I can't see anything!

2. Every guy I ever dated played baseball. I have a type and I stick to it. Can you blame me?!
3. I learned to drive a standard truck at the age of 12. We lived way out in the country so I drove home everyday when we got to a certain point on our way home. My parents were brave souls.

4. I hate chocolate ice cream.
5. My best friend and I once convinced a guy on AOL instant messanger that we were twins and our dad was a doctor and we both drove really expensive sports cars. We were 10...
6. When Chris and I met we were both dating other people.
7. In 5th grade my teacher accidentally caught my hair on fire when she was lighting a candle for our Christmas party. 
8. I hate all movies except chick flicks.
9. I always wanted to be a doctor, like always. Then something happened and I all of a sudden hated blood. It's not like my second choice of becoming an accountant and getting my MBA was a better choice! Third times and charm and I couldn't be happier being a teacher!
10. I won 1st place in the 4-H cooking competition for green bean casserole....and I'm pretty sure it was the same recipe everyone uses on the back of the Frenches Onions package...
11. I once peed off the second story of my cabin at camp because I was too afraid to walk to the bathroom in the dark. People who went to Camp Longhorn know what I am talking about. No lights...creepy.
12. My braces got ripped off by a blanket two months before they were supposed to be taken off. I know it sounds weird, but I was on a couch with the blanket covering me and my friend ripped the blanket away from me and some-way, some-how a thread caught on my braces and rippp...off they went. I didn't feel a thing.
13. My Mom and I did not get along when I was a teenager. I love her more than anyone, but it is that mother-daughter thing that most families go through! So glad it has passed.

14. I want more than anything to be a mom....to four kids to be exact. 

15. I cry in all sad movies, sad commercials, and sad movies. I can't help it. I can even cry when listening to songs if I think about it too long. 
16. I am blunt. I tell it how it is and that's that. 
17. I am usually the quarterback on every flag football team I have ever played on. People are surprised when this little girl in wedges and a dress can get out there and throw it like a grown man. Thank you college softball...and dad.

18. I was addicted to Trading Spaces when I was younger. I love decorating homes! If I weren't a teacher, I would love to dabble in interior design.

19. I once punched a boy in high school because he purposely dumped a bottle of water in my lap thinking I would take it as a joke. I stood up and clocked him right in the face...then turned around and the principal was staring right at me. I didn't get in trouble at all, and when I think about that I just laugh. What was I thinking?
20. I, and Chris, never drink. We may have one glass of wine/beer a month. I have never been a big drinker, as in I honestly hate it. Everything just tastes so gross. Chris got his drinking out when he was in college, so we are both over it. 
21. I always have my toenails painted. I never have them au-naturel. 
22. As I've gotten older, I am very conscious about always telling myself, "you don't know what they're going through," if someone is rude to me, or does something that I don't agree with. I try to not just assume they are a rude and terrible person, but instead pray for them in whatever their battling in their own life. Does that even make sense?
23. My favorite cereal is Corn Chex. I could eat that stuff for days.

24. I have been blessed beyond measure. I grew up in the country, in a town of 1,500. I came from humble roots and from parents who love my brother and I more than life itself. I have got to experience country life and now city life. I have an amazing husband and along with that came a wonderful new family. I have a great job, great friends, and a great home. I have my health and two wonderful grandparents. I have aunts and uncles who have always spoiled me with love, and gifts! And most of all, I have a God that loves me and had provided for me more than I ever could have imagined.

I have a feeling 24 is going to be a special year!
