First Comes LOVE, Then Comes MARRIAGE, Then Comes A BABY!!!

So It's been a while since I have been on here (obviously!) as many as you already know, WE'RE EXPECTING!!!

Two pink lines= BABY!!!:)

We are over the moon excited!! It has been a bumpy road, but we are right where we want to be!!

We found out on July 31st, even though we were too afraid to test because we were afraid I'd test too early and go through what we went through with our last pregnancy. But after talking to some friends we went home and tested and within a minute I saw TWO PINK LINES. We took another to be sure. Another positive!! Thank you God, you answered our prayers!!! Now the tricky part, making sure I do everthing I possibly can to make this baby feel welcome and want to say in my belly!! Made my first appointment, had to wait a few weeks, went in not sure what to expect because I was around 6 weeks along but I was so anxious to see my baby!! Went to the doctor, who was veryyyy surprised the Clomid worked on the first try, scheduled an ultrasound for the next day, and got a WHOLE BUNCH of "congratulations!!" Lol So our appointment was at 11AM the next morning and I was informed I needed to drink 32 oz. of water before coming in for my appointment and I could not relieve my bladder.....Uhhhhh, seriously?!?!? You know I have to pee all the time, right?!?! lol That wasn't very fun to say the least! So we go back to the room for our ultrasound and the girl finds my sac...my very empty sac...she was just as shocked as I was and was not trained very well on how to answer questions to patients who do not see babies in their sac!! Needless to say I was thinking the worst, I was having way more pregnancy symptoms this time so I really didn't think anything was wrong but something about that ladie's reaction and my empty sac really made me worry. So I called my doctor the next day and asked if he had seen my results yet and if I should be worried or is this normal for being so early in the pregnancy....he calls back and says it looks like i'm going through a miscarriage. I was absolutely devistated!! All I could think of is Why Me?? Why does this keep happening?? What am I doing wrong? So Jimmy calls the doctor back and talks to him and has a more in-depth conversation with him and the Doc determines it might not be a miscarriage after all considering all I've been going through (this is when the morning sickness started...which is a good sign for developing pregnancies apparently, he says it decreases the chance of miscarriage) so why would he tell me one thing and tell Jimmy the COMPLETE OPPOSITE?! I could not understand it, I still couldn't believe that everything was okay, I was still really scared. So Jimmy calmed me down and we said we're not going to worry until we have something to worry about and we let God take it from there and had another ultrasound scheduled for the following week. Another day of having to drink 32 oz. of water and now my morning sickness is in full effect, so that water wasn't going down fast but it sure wanted to come up fast....so we go in to our appointment...

And there is our baby. Our sweet baby. I cried so hard when I heard that muffled heartbeat and the little fluttering of the hear beating on the screen. My baby is okay. I will never forget that moment. That is when I knew everything was going to be okay and I was going to be a Momma.

So from there on the nausea came all day every day, the bloating continued, the dreams started getting REALLY weird or scary, the stomach problems, the HUGE boobs developed, the mood swings started....everything they say CAN happen in a pregnancy, happened in the second month of mine, all around the same time. Talk about going through A LOT!! lol My poor husband! ....my poor body!!! lol So weeks have passed and some symptoms have come and gone and I've started getting new ones (such as growing pains...which basically means my belly is getting ready to grow as this baby continues to grow) And I am now eating better and starting to show:)

I had to get rehydrated 2 weeks ago after having a few near-fainting spells, turns out I was really dehydrated and had lost 7 lbs., since then I have not had much of a problem with morning sickness, I'm in the bathroom every 20 minutes though it seems (this kid is right on my bladder right now!! No fun!) and I'm getting my appetite back! While in the doctor's office hooked up to an IV I mentioned to the nurse that it was the first time Jimmy's mom had been to an appointment and they said "Well then we'll show you your grandbaby!" and after the IV drained they took me into another room and put the jelly on my belly...

 And look who we found!! A bigger baby!! A 10 week old baby Cotter! It was really exciting:)

So now I am 12 weeks along and pretty much out of the woods and starting to look forward to holding my sweet baby here shortly. I have an appointment this Thursday to listen to the baby's heartbeat, there's a trick that says if it beats under 140 bpm it is going to be a BOY and if it is higher that 150 bpm it will be a GIRL. I'm anxious to play this game LOL. I think it is a GIRL and my hubby really thought it was a BOY, until this week. So we will see. We really don't care either way as long as this baby is healthy but I have been having baby dreams about a little girl and all I can think of is girls with this pregnancy. My last pregnancy, as short as it was, from the very first second I knew it was a boy. This time, I really wanted my little boy back, but I could not feel anything towards this pregnancy, no dreams, no visions, just hopes. I did not think about having a girl, I really preferred not to have a daughter first. But one day I thought, okay this could be a girl so I better start getting used to the idea and better start training Jimmy to be able to handle a little girl (LOL!). And since that day, I've had a few baby dreams of little girls. Sure, they are weird dreams, but no matter how weird, there is always a little girl in there somehow. So I believe that is why I couldn't feel anything toward this pregnancy at first, all I could think of was a boy, and the whole time I was skipping over my little girl! Now let's all pray that she is not a little mini-me, I am so afraid of her having an attitude and fighting me over everything like I used to do when I was little!!!! Lol! But oh well, I don't care. I am one happy Momma right now:) and I have a great little family. Jimmy is going to be such a great daddy, he talks to my belly sometimes or rubs it just to say Hi Baby! I can't wait to see how much our lives will change after this child is born! I am truly blessed, I can't be any happier at this moment.

Okay well that is all the updates I have for now.

 Here is a recent picture of my baby bump....

Mom, maternity pics soon?? It's about time to start showing off!! Lol

Today's The Day!!

Okay, well yesterday was the day but I was not able to blog about it in time!

After what seems like DAAAAAYYYS of taking medications, charting temperatures, taking ovulation predictor tests and timing when to have sex.... I finally got a POSITIVE ovulation test!! Which means after getting a positive result, I should ovulate within 12-36 hours! Yaaahhooooooo!

Here are my first 2 tests... the one on the top was the first one I took on Monday night, as you can see the left line is not darker than the right one, which means I am not ovulating. The bottom test was taken Tuesday morning and as you can see the left line is a little darker than the right line. I accidentally threw out the instructions for these tests so to be sure that I know how to read these results right I went out and bought a new (expensive!) box of tests! Lol.

So I waited a few hours and took another test in the afternoon....

And Viola! The left line is DEFINATELY darker than the right line, which means I will be ovulating in the next 12-36 hours! Yay! But of course this is giving me anxiety, I only have this small window to make sure all our hard work pays off! Nothing like haaaaving to have sex at a certain time, that puts a lot of strain on a relationship! Luckily for us though, we are not making this our first and only priority. I mean, sure, we want this to work. We want our baby. But only worrying about that puts a strain on everything else going on in our life, so if it happens this month, then GREAT! But if not, there is always next month, and the next month, and the next. We will have our baby when the time is right. I have no doubt that God (with the help of Jimmy's grandparents) will pick out the perfect child for us! So I'm okay with waiting for that!;)

So like I said today yesterday is the day. I ovulated!! I could feel it and everything. It's almost weird to be so intuned to your body. I could feel the cramping of my ovary releasing an egg. I'm pretty sure I was about 5 lbs. heavier from the bloating (not my favorite symptom! lol) and I was having back pain. I looked all that up along with the fact that I had gotten a positive OV test the day before and TaDa!=Ovulation. 1 in 5 of women experience ovulation pain, I'm so glad that I was able to experience that. Well, not really, but I liked being able to personally know that my hard work is paying off. My medications are working. This is looking really good for us. So I had the cramps all day and by bedtime, it was all over. Our work is done. Now we just wait.....and wait.......and wait..... Errrrrg. It's going to be a loooong 2 weeks! But even after getting a positive pregnancy test, I still have to make sure this baby sticks this time! And he/she better!!!! So it may be a little while before I start announcing that we're pregnant, just to be safe, so don't take it personal.

According to this Chinese Gender Chart, if I conceive this month, we will have a bouncy baby BOY!

And if I conceive next month, we will have a precious baby GIRL!

I could go either way, I'm just so ready to have my own little me or little Jimmy! hehe.

Have you used this gender chart?? Did it work for you?? It's a 50/50 shot.

So, in the meantime, in between all this family planning, my youngest sisters are here for a week again! We had them last summer and have decided it's a nice little vacation and change of pace, so we flew them out here last Friday and took them camping at Shaver Lake for the weekend. It was my first time camping! We came home on Monday and have gone to the lake and BBQ'd and today we're going to set up the slip and slide. And tomorrow is our last day with them, so we are taking them to the water slides in Fresno! My dad is taking them for the rest of the weekend before flying them back to their mom in Vegas. It has been a very fun vacation, they're growing up so fast that I feel like I miss out on everything. The little one, Delanee, is 6....going on 18! Man, does she have an attitude! Lol. She gives us a run for our money. She has probably scared Jimmy out of wanting a daughter lol. Madison, she's 14, and so beautiful. It's nice to be able to relate to her now, she was always so much younger than me that I never paid her much attention, but now, I love having her around. And I'm glad that I'm a better role model now that she's older. Give her someone better to look up to. I'm going to be sad to see them go. But at the end of the week, Delanee is really missin' her mama and she has worn us out! So it's actually a little bittersweet. Lol, sad to say!!

They are getting their swimsuits on now, so I need to go get ready. I posted pictures on my facebook last night from our vacation! Go check them out!

I'll be back soon, with more updates! Thank you friends and family for your support and advice!

Another day, another year older....

Well, today I turned 23. Nothing exciting about turning 23, especially when you have a nonchalant attitude towards the whole thing, I think this is the beginning of not anticipating my next birthday, not planning a big party or girl's night out for my birthday. Is that normal? Is it just part of growing up? Or having more important things to worry about in your every day life? I feel like this week is already over for me LOL, I'm so busy with getting my house cleaned (yes, it's like my weekly ritual now to deep clean my house, don't ask!), go to the DMV to apply for my new driver's license, pick up my sister's from the airport on Friday, get everything ready to go camping this weekend, and lots of little things in between.....so my birthday just seems to have dropped off my list of things to worry about right now. Booo!

As for my baby-makin' update, today I took my last fertility pill!!! Yahoooooo! That's a nice feeling. It all went really smoothly, minus the hot flashes and KiiiiiiLLLER mood swings!! I took the Provera for 4 days (I was supposed to take it for 10) and got my period, so that part was quick and easy. Then, on day 3 of my period I started the Clomid (the crazy maker pill!! lol) and finished it today. So on Thursday I will start using ovulation prediction tests and by next Wednesday there should be a little Cotter in the works! Seems easy enough, right?! It sure hasn't seemed like it! It shouldn't be this difficult! But I will appreciate my munchkin SO much more!:) Have you realized that my "ovulation time" is during my vacation, while my sisters are here?! Hahaha. Yeah, awkward! I don't know how to feel about this whole process though. Maybe you can help me decipher what I'm going through. Okay, so before I started taking these medications I was really excited to get pregnant again and kept trying to make it happen on my own. Now that I've gone through what I went through and have realized that this is not an easy process, I am beginning to realize that I am not as optimistic anymore. Not that I don't want this, because trust me, I DO! But I feel like if I get too excited and start stressing over making it happen, it won't happen. So I've noticed I have a nonchalant attitude. Which is good, because I'm not stressing, but at the same time I wonder if my attitude can also affect my body's attitude towards the situation and I won't get pregnant?! Am I just over analyzing this? I feel like I'm almost setting myself up to fail, but that's not how I feel at all. What's up with that?!

Anyways, the doctor makes it seem that this pill will work for me, because I obviously can get pregnant, but I do not have a period, therefor I do not ovulate regularly which is hard when trying to get pregnant, so he thinks this is the push I need. I hope he is right. Also, my best friend started her period on the same day as me, so she will most likely ovulate on the same day as me, which means if all goes well, we will have our babies on the same day!!! That is so crazy, huh?! lol So I hope you're still praying for us, so far so good! But we can use all the help and advice we can get! I appreciate all my regular readers out there that give advice and support. Thank you all so much. I'll update more in a week or two and let you know how things are going!!:)

LiFe iS aBoUt To ChAnGe!

Well, like I said, life is about to change!!

We have decided to jump on the baby train. As much as we've changed our minds about this, we have decided this is what we want to do. I can't help but feel the emptiness since our miscarriage, I want so badly to be pregnant and have a baby. And he/she better stay in there this time...OR ELSE! So I had a follow up appointment yesterday morning to go over our options to help me get pregnant. As I may have said before, I do not have regular periods, which means it's hard to pinpoint ovulation days, meaning I'm relying on luck when it comes to getting pregnant! And I don't really like my odds. So my doctor wanted to get me started on medication (Provera) that jump starts a period, and after that I take a prescription(Clomid) which causes ovulation. Since my body sucks and can't do the work its self!! So basically, next to my bed I have a thermometer, a temp. chart, 3 medications and my prenatal vitamins. Sounds pretty hot, right?! Um, yeah, I don't think Jimmy thinks so! Sorry honey!

So I wanted to get pregnant before the summer is over to ensure that I won't be a fat balloon next summer--no bueno! But putting that kind of stress on myself and my already tricky situation was just setting me up for disappointment. So we're just gonna go with the flow. Well, hopefully.

So now I am back into my nursery (which is already like 80% finished! lol) and going through all the things I have bought--don't ask, I'm almost embarrassed lol you'd think I have 2 buns in the oven, one B and one G. I want to be prepared, and at cheap prices, I just can't help myself.

I don't want to get my hopes up to high, but I'm hoping this works the first time around! And I'm so excited! And nervous! And really really anxious! But I will have my best friend going through the same process at the same time (or really close). She's probably going to have it a little easier than me, because she doesn't have the same problems that I am having. But it will be fun to share this experience! How many of you can say you shared this wonderful experience with someone you're close with?!

I start my first dose on Friday, July 1st....so by the end of July I will know if it worked or not. And if not, we will try it again. My doctor wants to see me every 6 weeks until my eggo is officially preggo! So wish us luck, and for my friend! And I'll be updating more as soon as I get started on this new journey!!

That's all for now, hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July! My 23rd birthday is coming up on the 11th, it's the first time probably ever that I've kind of forgotten my own birthday. Lol does that come with getting older and having a more relaxed lifestyle??

 Any advice would be helpful from anyone who has been in this kind of situation! What worked for you? How many months before you got that PREGNANT in the result window of your test? And we're you in that 10% of women who have twins?? I know one woman who was! That's a frightening thought, but at the same time, it's a risk I have (and am kiiiinda willing) to take!!

Goodnight!

An update on this and that...

Well, I finally returned to work last month!

And after working 2 weeks, the pain started all over again! UGH. So I was pulled out of work again until I could be seen by a doctor, so I made 2 appointments, one with my doctor here and another with a specialist in Fresno. I was able to see both doctors yesterday and SURPRISE SURPRISE, they don't really know why I'm having these troubles! SO frustrating, if they don't know and they don't know, how am I supposed to feel about that??! So basically the specialist said there's nothing he can do to relieve the pain or any troubles I'm having, he said to go to the gym (heard that before!! was really hoping that there would be a different solution than that!) and strengthen my muscles and that should help. He also told me that my body is hyper flexible (sounds hot,right?! LOL) and sometimes it's beneficial to people and sometimes (in my case) it's not. SO because I am "double jointed" and "flexible" my joints are too loose and that's a problem I might have to deal with for the rest of my life.

 Seeing any kind of positive or useful information yet? Yeah,no there wasn't.

I'm still stumped and still in pain and still on the verge of losing my job because I cannot work and my leave at Save Mart only allows me to be out for a year without losing my job....I was already out for 8 months!

So after my doctor's appointment in Fresno, we came home to see my doctor here who has been seeing me since last August and performed my surgery and basically told me before I had him excuse me to return to work that he wasn't too sure it's a good idea but if it becomes to much to come back and he will pull me back out. So here I am again, now he's scratching his head, my MRI (pre-surgery) looked good, x-rays looked good, back MRI was clean.....why the pain??! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that my legs will tingle and fall asleep while laying down or sitting in a chair, so we thought maybe I had a pinched nerve in my back causing that,...um no. And I also have had that symptoms of restless leg syndrome.

Still haven't seen that silver lining, huh?

Anyways, back to my doctor's opinion, so he's not sure why I'm having these problems and pain. So he wants to refer me to another doctor for a second opinion, as a matter of fact he's sending me to 2 new doctors. One who is a sports medicine doctor and the other specializes in arthritis and osteoporosis. Needless to say my in-laws knew those doctors but they couldn't believe I would be seeing a doctor with that specialty. Yeah, I'm not sure either but maybe he'll have the answers I've been looking for.Because I know there has to be better answers out there than "go to the gym!" And I am going to be getting a post-op MRI of my knee to see what it looks like in there and see if there's something floating around causing the trouble and causing my knee cap to catch and lock up. Yeah, sounds wonderful doesn't it? Not so much. ):

So now I am out of work until July and my insurance was cancelled as of today so I have to wait for COBRA to pick me back up, spending $400 a month for insurance is not the business. I liked it when it was free! Seeing all these doctors, another MRI (not my favorite thing!), and just stressing and worrying about what is going to happen. I'm only 22, why am I going through this?!

But ultimately, there is a silver lining.

I am married to the most wonderful man, have 4 of the craziest and most annoying dogs ever- but i love them!!, have the greatest friends and family, starting my own business and already have fans!!, have a beautiful home, and I may be a hot mess-- but I'm still alive! And I am so thankful.

So for now we have obviously but a new baby on the back burner because my body could not handle the extra weight, It's a smart decision, but most days I don't find it fair! But for now, it's okay.

Oh, and about my business! Let me tell you a little bit about my new project. I will be redesigning baby and children's clothes! I do not make everything from scratch but I make it new and one of a kind! And will be making accessories such as headbands and beanies and items such as wipes case covers and sippy cup holders. Lots of different stuff. I plan to get started within the next 2 weeks, still waiting for some supplies to come in. I converted our front living room (which we never use) into my own craft room, it has everything I could need in here, and lots of space. And thanks to my hubby for taking me shopping the past few days to buy supplies! He thinks that makes him co-owner! hahaha! So this is where you find me now. It's my escape. It's "my" place. I love it and I cannot wait to get started with my designs!

Well, that's about enough from me. Until next time.......

On the cruise ship for our honeymoon before we headed to ENSENADA!!

Well Hey There!!

I am so sorry to keep you waiting!! As you all know I was planning a wedding, doing knee therapy, fixing up out house and lots of little things in between....so cut me some slack on not keeping up on the posts!! LOL Okay so where do I begin??

Our house: We got hooked up from the bridal shower and have been decorating the living room, kitchen and master bedroom!! New bedding for our bed and added some candles and picture frames:) that's as far as we've gotten but looks good so far!! We finished painting the 3rd bedroom (the future nursery), the green looks so good! Hung brown curtains in the dining room and living room, it's amazing the difference hanging curtains makes! I will have to upload pictures next time to show you our projects! We are definately making this house our HOME. We are so happy here!

My knee: As you know I have a bum knee LOL I have been having lots of problems since my surgery, my knee was not healing as it was supposed to and I have not returned to work. Jimmy and I joined the gym in Feb. and I (was) go to the gym regularly and my knee was feeling so much better (still a little stiff sometimes or it would pop every once in a while but not neeeearly as bad as before going to the gym!) so I was pumped and ready to get my life back and go back to work. Until I took like 2 weeks off because of all my last minute wedding things, the death of Jimmy's grandpa, my gym buddy went out of town and I just started getting downright tired! BIIIIIIIIG mistake. I am paying the consequences now, my knee pain has returned (not often though) and I have started wearing my brace again to keep my knee from popping and locking. I am still planning on returning to work next month but at this point I feel like I'm gonna suffer:( so we'll see.

Jimmy: my hubby turned 29 this month! And on the day of his birthday we got a phone call at 2am saying his grandfather was in the hospital. We rushed to Tulare to be with him, we were there for almost 12 hours, and he was in the hospital for 3 days before we lost him. He taught Jimmy everything he knows, he was like a dad to Jimmy. His grandpa had alzheimer's and against all doctor's saying he doesn't know you or remember things, he knew Jimmy. He lit up when Jimmy was around. It was precious. It was a miracle.

Last weeks Update: Now keep in mind, it's "wedding week", Jimmy's birthday was this week, we're still finishing up last minute details for the wedding, now we're planning a funeral.....and I find out I'm pregnant. So this all hit us at once! We are quite the team, I don't know if anyone else wouldve been able to get through this and still be sane! I was able to get an appt for Tuesday after the wedding to see a new OBGYN. I was ecstatic! Finally! A baby :) Awkward timing, but for us the saying "with death comes life" was definately true! We were able to tell Grandpa before he passed that we were getting married on Saturday and that we were having a baby! He looked at me and gave me a nod. I think that means he's happy. That made me happy. On Thursday I noticed a little spotting, thought maybe it was implantation bleeding, I wasn't worried. Friday it got a little worse and I was actually bleeding (not heavily), so I called the doc and she didn't seem too worried, told me if the bleeding gets worse or the cramps get worse to call back. Saturday morning (the day of my wedding) the bleeding was pretty bad, I called the doc again and she still didn't seem too alarmed, her words "lots of women bleed in their pregnancy and some women have a period while pregnant...maybe that's what you're experiencing. but keep an eye out and call back if it gets worse." Well, I was already having a bad day with things going on with my wedding and I was stressed about that as well as worrying about my baby, so my best friend took me to a walk in clinic to get checked out for peace of mind and so I can just know what is going on. Meanwhile, it's 1 o'clock and my wedding starts in 3 hours and my girl's are at the venue setting up, vendors are showing up, im a WRECK...and all I want to do is call the whole thing off and go home! So we get my urine test results back saying i'm not pregnant. 5 days ago three home pregnancies said I was! So they want to send me somewhere else to get another test, I don't have time for this, so I just put this problem on the back burner, I've got to go get married and I'll deal with the rest tomorrow. So I had a beautiful wedding, it was better than I could've imagined, my love for Jimmy has really grown and been challenged this week, we have really grown stronger through all of this. It was a wonderful (rest of the) day. The next day we woke up and I was so at peace, feeling so much better, now I have a loving husband, awesome family, and the bestest friend anyone could ask for. I could not have gotten through that day without them. I wish all people were as considerate and caring as them. Let's just say my wedding morning could've gone a little smoother if that were the case!! :\ So Tuesday comes and my doctor's appt is at 10, i've been upset for 2 days now because I know that this appt is not going to go the way I thought it would when I called after getting that "PREGNANT". I was not feeling pregnant anymore, the symptoms were gone, my boobs weren't huge and sore, I still had the bloating though (go figure!). So I had a songogram done, tech said nothing is there. I cried so hard as if this were the first time I was finding out something was wrong. My doctor comes in shortly after and after talking for a while he tells me that after 3-4 months we can try again. There's hope, I obviously can get pregnant, so after my body heals and he orders me some blood work to check my levels and thyroid, he wants me to come back in and we're going to "get me pregnant"! It's still upsetting because I want to be pregnant now, I want my little boy (I was determined that this kid would be a boy and I would name him Mason and he would be handsome just like his daddy!) but the upside was that no baby ever grew inside of me, I never knew how far along I was, so it's not like I lost my baby, which is a little easier to deal with. My levels all came back good and my hormone level came back at 2 (not pregnant is 0...so I was probably already miscarrying when I took my test because my level dropped waaaay too quick). So my doctor says we don't have to wait 4 months now, we only have to wait 2 months! AHHH!! So needless to say, it's still a little sad, but I am so happy thinking about the idea that we are going to be planning for this baby, wanting this baby about 100x more now, my body will be ready to carry a baby, and now I won't be so picky- i'll take a boy or a girl! As long as it's healthy. Let the shopping begin!! hehehe.

So, it's about 3am and i'm supposed to be up in 4 hours to leave for MEXICO!!! But I just wanted to give an update to my followers, i'm not looking for any sympathy with my story, I am just letting it all out, letting it go, moving forward and looking forward to creating a beautiful new additional to my new little family. I know there are probably women out there who have gone through this, how did you deal? how long did you wait to try again? Were you successful the second time? Third time? I'm just looking for some insight. I hope everyone has a wonderful easter and remembers the reason for this holiday. When we get back from Mexico I will post again, with lots of pictures. I'll give you one sneak peek of me and my handsome hubby to hold you over til then! I thank you all for listening or your input. And like I said, I didn't write this for any sympathy or to tell everyone private matters of my life for them to be spread around like gossip. I hope people can relate and maybe find assurance in my story that God has a plan for everyone and when you feel like you'll never get what you want, you will. You just have to work for it. And also, if anyone has advice or success stories, i'd love to hear it!!

<3 The new Mr. and Mrs. Cotter <3

Adios!!! See you next week!! love you all (:

Ok, I'm back....

......With something that will really catch my interest, my soon to be husband, James Joseph Cotter ;)

Here's a little survey I found online that tests just how much you know about the man you're marrying!

Here I go...

Here's a chance to see how well you really know your (future) Husband. Cut, paste and fill in the answers, then forward . . . you know what to do. The real challenge is to send it to your (future) Husband to see how right you really are.

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? Law and Order:SVU, Deadliest Catch, Axe Men, Ice Road Truckers, Storage Wars..... he has lots of favorites!!

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? ranch

3. What's one food he doesn't like? tomatoes........and cheesecake (what a freak!)
