6 facts/habits/stories about

SHANNON ROSE!!

1. I am a home body. When I was little, even like 10 yrs. old, I'd go stay with my Grandma (Mama Bert), but I'd get so homesick, I'd call my Dad and cry, lol. He would try and comfort me, but also let me know that he wasn't making the 2 hr. drive in the middle of the night, but that he would come the next day. Also, I always preferred having friends over at my house because I just liked my house better.

2. I have always been a kindof a mischevious and sneaky little one. I don't really think so, but my parents say I was at times and now I assure you that Jared would agree. When I was in the 4th grade, my best friend, Jennifer Savory was moving and so I stayed the night with her 2 weeks before she left. Then the week before she moved I wanted to go stay with her again. I asked my Dad and he said no... so then I asked my Mom and she said no... So, (it's so funny because I remember doing this) I went in the bathroom, turned on the spicket, and put water on my eyes and made tears so that I appeared to be crying. Then I went back to my Mom and in my fakest sobs, managed to get out "Mom, can I please stay the night with Jennifer, I'll never see her again?" My Mom said, "Oh, alright." The "cries" stopped and I thanked her and then ran to my room to gloat in my sneakyness! I told my Mom years later! Jared would assure you that I'm not a very good fake crier anymore. Sometimes I fake pout, it's pretty funny; it's a great tactic I use to get Jared to snuggle me!

3. There are certain times in my life (certain times of the month) when I am apt to get a little bit emotional. One such time, Jared and I were on a no sweets kick and we were nearing the end of our 2 week goal. I was feeling a little not like myself and was really craving some cookies a friend had brought us that were in our freezer. Jared got home from work and I sat on his lap and started my fake pouting. The story goes something like this: S: "Hey hun-bun?" J: "Yes, hunny" S: "I think I need a cookie" J: "no you don't, you can do it, we only have 3 more days!" S: "You don't understand, I really need a cookie, I don't know why?" J: (laughing) "you told me to not give in to your begging if you did, so I'm going to have to say no" S: (holding back the tears) "but I really need it" Then I walk back to the bedroom, throw myself down on our air mattress, and start bawling. Jared comes back and sees me seriously crying over a cookie and I can totally tell he's trying his hardest to hold back his laughs. He said "I'll go get you a cookie, I'm sorry hunny, I didn't realize you needed it this badly" Me: "Noooo, it's okay, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'll be fine, I just need to lay here and cry and then go to bed." Jared leaves and comes back with a cookie and tries to get me to eat it, but I refuse. So, he took a bite and said "now you have to eat some," so he sticks it in my mouth and I took a bite. Then, this is crazy, but this overwhelming happiness overcame me, the crying stopped and I got the biggest smile on my face and started laughing. It was a great memory for us!!
