30 Day Challenge-Day 3

Day 03- A habit that you wish you didn’t have
I think the worst habit I have now is biting my nails. I can go for quite a few weeks and then bam I don't have any nails again. It  seems to be when I go to movies that I do it the worst. I guess I have to stop seeing movies in the theater. Yeah, I don't forsee that happening. That is probably one of my habits that I have that I wish I didn't, but I have plenty of them.

30 Day Challenge-Day 2

 Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name


Well it is part of our wedding song Amazed by Lonestar. I wanted a unique name for my blog so I looked into how to get a unique name. One of the suggestions was to take a quote or song, so I took to our wedding song. We liked this part because our life was great when we got married and now that we have Kaylie it just keeps getting better. We can't wait to see what life will bring us, and "It Keeps Getting Better."

30 Day Challenge-Day 1

So I am giving into trend and going to do the 30 Day Blog Challenge to blog more:


Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself




1. I was born on Friday the 13th: Of course when I was in elementary I told a girl in my class this and she ran away from me screaming that I was cursed.


2. My favorite numbers have always been 6 & 13, here is why: I was born on June (6) 13th, was 6 lbs 13 oz., & 19 inches (6 +13=19). I was the 6th child and 13th grandchild on my mom's side.

3. Zach and I have been together since 7th grade so that would be 12 years, but we have only been married 3 years. 

4. I got my first tattoo for my 19th birthday and I would love to get another one. This time I would like to get something with Kaylie's name.  

5. I have an issue of remembering my past, I unfortunately don't remember my childhood very well. Seems to be a "Boe" trait, my sister has the same problem. If it wasn't bad enough that I couldn't remember anything; I sometimes mix my reality with dreams. I will some times say something about the past and someone will tell me that they don't know what I am talking about then I realize I must have had a dream with that situation in it. 

6. My dream job would be have a animal rescue place because I am such an animal lover and I think all animals deserve to be loved and feel like part of the family.  

7. I definately talk to my mom at least once a day if not more. And I see her at least every other day now that my parents live down the street from us. 

8. I would have to say that my sister and mom are great role models and are my best friends. Whenever I need someone to just listen to me vent I call one of them and they always make me feel better. They are two of the greatest women I know and I hope that I can be the mother to Kaylie as they are to their children.

9. My cat Simba is like a baby to me, but he doesn't really like Zach. He hugs me and kisses me. How I got him to be like this I am not sure. I used to dress him up in doll clothes and put him in my doll stroller. 

10. I am the girl you usually see hanging out with the guys. I have had a lot of drama when it comes to girls and I have found that guys are just easier to deal with. Don't get me wrong the few girlfriends I have are great but that came with time and I now know what true girlfriends are like. 

11. When I was younger, I wanted to change my name to my middle name Renee. I guess I didn't think it was as common as Samantha is. I would have to say that I am happy that I wasn't called Renee for my first name. Samantha has grown on me over the years. 

12. Most people don't know that I almost dropped out of UNI my freshman year because I was having a hard time with Zach being at UD and I wasn't meeting anyone. I now realize that staying at UNI was a great decision. 

13. I am an organize freak...I write list for everything. Zach says I make lists to keep track of my lists. I used to have to-do list everywhere, but now I have a phone app that stores them all for me. One of the greatest things I have ever found.

14. I wanted to be a teacher for a long time until I found out that I needed to take a test to get into the teaching program. Sad, but I know that I am horrible test taker.

15. I have always wanted to get into photography, pictures are very important to me and I like to capture special moments in a photo to remember forever. Maybe this is because if I don't take pictures I will forget...haha.

Good Night All!

Okay I give up...

 I give up on the every week thing...I will just try to come up with something to write about every week. Today, will be about our spontaneous vacation.
Kaylie and her cousin Luke who is almost as big as she is!
Sunday, July 3rd we went down to Urbana for our nephew's baptism and when we got there Zach asked if we could go shopping and stay down in Coralville for a mini vacation. I wasn't so excited because we didn't have any thing packed and with a baby you have to be more planned. Well Zach said that he would go and get everything if I made a list. I was a little nervous since he has never packed for us, but he did a great job.

Waking up in the hotel
We ended up going to Coral Ridge Mall and bought some things, one being a swimsuit for Kaylie. We shopped there a little bit and then we went to the hotel that our friend Carrie worked at and checked in. We decided to try the pool with Kaylie for the first time. She liked it at first, but then she decided she was hungry and got mad. We went back and fed her and waited to go to eat with our friend Reese. Kaylie was not very happy about this because we ended up eating at about bedtime for her. We went back to the hotel and Kaylie ate and fell asleep...we worried about her sleeping in her pack-n-play but she did great.

Swimming with daddy!
Monday, July 4th we decided to wake up and we went swimming again and she loved it this time. We then decided to go to Williamsburg for some more shopping. We got some great things for us and Kaylie this weekend and we had a great time together. I am happy that we decided to take a mini vacation and can't wait for the next one.
Happy 4th of July Everyone from our little firecracker!
