The ABCs of Alisha
A – ADVOCATE FOR: taking medicine when you hurt. I've been anti-doctor for long enough. I believe God has given us modern medicine for a reason and if it will help and not hurt you more...DO IT!
B – BEST FEATURE: Probably those insanely long legs of mine
C – COULD DO WITHOUT: laundry and blow-outs/leak-throughs. I am so over blow-outs. And cleaning my house, but everyone knows that already.
D – DREAMS & DESIRES: To raise my children to be happy and productive. To be able to take a real vacation every few years. To like cleaning and keeping a clean house.
E – ESSENTIAL ITEMS: Mainly, Diet Coke. And now that winter is arriving, cushy socks
F – FAVORITE PAST TIME: I love to read, watch tv, make my little guy giggle.
G – GOOD AT: Making my little guy giggle, Bejewelled (what? it's important!), keeping a decent perspective on things, being contented, making chocolate chip cookies and cornbread.
H – HAVE NEVER TRIED: anything really exciting or terrifying. Going green.
I – IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS: Pay off our house and landscape the yard, pay off the car and get a maid. Seriously.
J – JUNKIE FOR: Diet Coke and currently anything that is sweet or salty or yummy.
K – KINDRED SPIRIT: I have a few and obviously love them dearly
L – LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Well at least until today...we're expecting again in April.
M – MEMORABLE MOMENT: My wedding day, having Marcus, finding out our current surprise, moving into our house.
N – NEVER AGAIN WILL I: Oh goodness. Everytime I say something like this, it ends up happening again. The only thing that comes to mind right now is go shopping without a stroller (at least it feels like it)
O – OCCASIONAL INDULGENCE: a great hair cut. I finally got mine cut about a month ago, and before that it was March of 2008 so a good 18 months. No one should have hair that ugly...but it looks loads better. When it's clean.
P – PROFESSION: Mom, Wife
Q – QUOTE: I'll put this one in later...I can't find my copy of Anne of Avonlea and it's at the end of that one, at least the quote I want to use is.
R – REASON TO SMILE: baby smiles and smells after baths. Feeling little baby flutters once in a great while. A wonderful husband who forgives me for being a bear. Warm house. Good food. Chocolate. Marcus and his raspberries.
S – SORRY ABOUT: being a bear. Not responding enough. Never sending out packages I have ready. Forgetting almost everything all the time. Not having the right words to say. Being a bad blogger
T -THINGS THAT ARE WORRYING YOU RIGHT NOW: getting my house clean before Marcus' Occupational Therapist comes tomorrow, looking decent for our family pictures this Saturday, finding my make-up (I'd love to find it and not re-purchase everything), figuring out life with 2 under 15 months old.
U – UNINTERESTED IN: BYU football or basketball. I'll watch with Will, but I couldn't care less.
V – VERY SCARED OF: another preemie (please let them be at least 15 months apart!), not being good enough, being lonely
W – WORST HABITS: I swear a little too often, but I think Will says things that he knows will bring out some bad words. Not picking up dirty clothes. Forgetting to do what I said I would. **I don't swear AT Will. I swear because of him. And they aren't the bad bad words, just ones you find in the bible. Nah...that sounds just as bad. Forget the edit**
X – X MARKS MY IDEAL VACATION SPOT: Sadly, I'll still take Disney World over just about anything right now, or at least when I can finally ride rides again. For now I just want to go on road trips and see the US.
Y – YUMMIEST DESSERT: The sizzing Apple Crisp from On The Border. It's heavenly....maybe for our anniversary.
Z – ZODIAC SIGN: Pisces, but I don't know what exactly that entails except I'm a water sign.
WHAT ARE THE ABC’S OF YOU?

Congratulations! That is such great news!
What the what?! Congratulations you guys! And Alisha, I never knew you swore at Will so much...ha ha!
Congrats Alisha on the newest forthcoming addition. How exciting...and close together! You are braver than me! But you will do fine. How awesome! Wendy
Ha ha! Hey fertile Myrtle! How fun to be having another one. ( : Just wait until you get to church and you have two babies to drag around for 3 hours straight. It's fun to have little ones close together- they often become such good buddies. My girls are 18 months apart and they really keep each other entertained.
Congrats on the exciting news! Your little ones will be such good friends!
Love the update Alisha! You should do it more often. Your awesome!
Yay! I'm glad you did the meme too! I'm also VERY glad I didn't have to wait to read this post to find out you are pregnant... thanks for calling me! Reading your list made me smile and realize just how much I've been missing you. Can't wait to see you tomorrow (or as soon as I get to see you!)
WOW!!
Congratulations. YAY!!!!
I guess this means you aren't coming to visit me any time soon.
And I love this list.
Didn't realize you'd joined the Diet Coke craze. I still figured you for Dr. Pepper. Alas, I'm a bad friend.
yay!!! Congratulations, you'll be splendid! And your wee one will adore having a sibling so close. I dont have my copy of Anne of Avonlea handy, but I love the war L.M. ends all her books :)
Congratulations! We will have babies 2 months apart. How fun! As for the Diet Coke! I am disappointed! What happened to Dr Pepper??? Its OK, I love you anyway. Can't wait to see what you are having
Cherise and Mindy...I still want Dr Pepper all the time. It is the drink of the gods you know. But, to keep my girlish figure I try to go for the no-caloried variety. Diet Dr Pepper is a travesty to mankind as we ALL know, so Diet Coke it is.
But, since I'm pregnant again, maybe I can splurge on the occasional DP now...then my doctor could get off my back for not gaining anything.
Alisha, I think you're all sorts of great. Thanks for reminding me about that. Congrats and best wishes on the addition. And don't worry about all that stuff that you don't do and is seemingly important. It probably isn't.
Hah hah. You use salty language! :P
Congrats to you & your family!!! You're going to love having two so close together. Mine are 20 months apart and it's been amazing. The first year was a little rough, but then it got "easier" and I wouldn't have it any other way. They are great friends, play so well together, and entertain each other. You're going to do great. Hope you're feeling well. Congrats!!!
Congratulations Al!!!! I'm so excited for you! Wow - two little ones and only 16 months apart. Good luck. :)
PS - I love the new pictures. You look great!
AHHH! Congrats Al! I'm so excited for you! And I loved reading your list! You are so great and still make me smile! Miss you and best wishes!!! PS - I LOVE the family pictures, they are so cute!
This was a lot of fun to read! You don't know how much I wish I hadn't moved away from our fun apartment when I did.
Congrats on the new baby!
