Top Ten Reasons Why We Love Chick Fill A

Yesterday as Ty and I were eating our lunch from Chick Fill A, we were discussing why we love it sooo much. Here are our top ten reasons.




In no particular order:

1. I love the chargrilled chicken sandwich

2. Ty loves the spicy chicken sandwich

3. French fries, pretty much to die for. ( although I opt for a salad instead)

4. Their berry balsamic vinegarette dressing... um yah. Yum

5. Diet Lemonade. Mouth watering right now thinking about it. When I am pregnant, I crave TANG and STRONG. This hits the spot.

6. The SERVICE. "Its a great day at Chick Fil a, how may I serve you?" Is their greeting, and their "you're welcome" is a "my pleasure!!" When was the last time you were treated like that at McDonalds, huh!?

7. Kids play place. A CLEAN kids play place.

8. I am not a big fan of vanilla ice cream, but their "ice dream cone" Yum. And only 4 points.

9. Balloons. The kids can all get a balloon as we leave the restaraunt.

10. The little mints. Thank you very much.

Anyone else out there agree with me? Now, I wasn't going to mention it, but it does come at a hefty price, its pretty expensive, but I say its worth it!

Baby # 3 on the way!!!!

Most of you already know. But baby # 3 is on the way! Here are some pictures of me about 6 1/2 weeks ago at 10 weeks. I need to take some more pictures, but come on lets face it, I don't at all look pregnant yet, just wider and fatter! AH the joys of the "in between stage". I really love pregnancy from about 6 months on. You can really BE pregnant, and enjoy all the baby movements and I think people are a little nicer to pregnant women in general. I really love being pregnant. Although I really want a family of all boys, ( lets face it, I don't want to give up my princess status, AND I want a barbershop quartet. ) I am certain this is one is a girl. Ty says he's gonna laugh hard when it's a boy. We find out 2 weeks from today!!! We'll see. Voo doo, you know the ring test, says we are having boy boy girl girl boy. Twins must be in there next time, cause I have only been planning on 4. I will be thrilled with a girl of course. We didn't announce till last week at 16 weeks. I liked it that way, for some reason its made it feel like I am pregnant from now on, rather than 4 months ago, and on... anyway. Yea for more babies!!!

Meet the Teacher, First day as a KINDERGARTENER, and "Lets Play Music!

I am officially recovered from sending my first born to Kindergarten. I am ok. I did shed tears, quite a few actually. But he is loving school and I am happy with my decision to have him go to Emerson accross the street. Here are some fun pics of him at Meet the Teacher, the first day of K, and his first day in his "Lets Play Music" class.

BLOG POPULAR

Ok so I am quite inexperienced with how to REALLY be a blogger. But true confession, I really want to be "blog popular". Ok not like I need 1000 followers or 30 comments per post or annonymous people sending me packages or money in the mail, BUT I would like people to know that I have a blog so that it actually gets looked at by more than just my sister and my mom and my husband. ( no offense guys). SOOO my dear friend Allyson Van Patten ( ok now would be the place to put a link to her great blog, but I don't know how to do that ) was telling me that I have got to post more often, I guess once a month isn't cutting it, and that the way for people to get to know your blog is by commenting. So here I go. We'll see if this works.
