Say Cheese-y!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve and Monday morning!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend filled with family, friends, and Christmas Cheer!  I worked Friday & Saturday.  Saturday evening, Nick and I went to his families Christmas Party.  This party has drastically changed over the years since I’ve been going.  Before it was a bunch of young couples, recently married or dating, without a care in the world.  Now it’s filled with more children than adults and sippy cups and cheerios all over the place haha.  After that, we went over to some friends and watched We’re the Millers, which is by far one of my favorite movies.  Then we braved the torrential rain on the way home.  Sunday, I went to church and continued learning about miracles (miracles in relationships).  It was moving, as always!  Went and had lunch with Nick, his dad, and sister, then headed out to our new outlet malls.  I picked up my mom’s present there.  Then we went to karaoke with Nick’s dad and that was interesting.  Too much smoke though… bleh!  Nick sang I’ve got Stripes (Johnny Cash) and Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Deep Blue Something).  I sang nothing, because I don’t like singing karaoke lol.  It was a good weekend over all!

I don’t know about you, but I have two different sides…. I suppose you could call me two-sided or two-faced, but not in that negative mean way.

Let me explain.

On one side, I’m this serious person.  I can be professional, I can have a serious discussion without making a joke, I can be kind and warm-hearted, I can get business done if necessary.  That’s my work side and my be the best dang friend I can be side and my take charge of a sticky situation side.

On the other side, I’m kind of cheese-y.  I’m kind of lame.  I’m kind of a ridiculous person who finds joy in the stupid things of life.  I can act like a child through a particular circumstance.  I can get excited about the cutest stuffed animal I’ve ever seen in my life (Boo…. in her monster outfit… I die!)

For example….

The other night, Nick and I were browsing through Target.  We get to those graphic tees that are near the men’s section.  We see a Mickey Mouse tee.  We’re both obviously hooked, but Nick saw it first and decided to get it.  Well, I didn’t want to be cheese-y and lame and get it too…. how awkward would it be to accidentally wear the same shirt on the same day?  But then *lightbulb* I had the greatest idea….

Me: Um, Nick, we should TOTALLY get the same shirt and wear it on the same day at Disney.  Then take a super awesome picture together
Nick: Um…. No… That’s not happening.
Me: But, Niiiicccckkkkkkkkk, you NEVER let me be cheese-y.  We never do cheese-y couple stuff.
Nick: Yeah, I know.  I think it may be because you ask to do cheese-y stuff too much.
Me: Absolutely NOT!  I don’t ask that much because I already know your answer, but I think this would be a really great idea!
Nick: I’m not sure about that.

We continue walking around Target, while I’m clearly saddened by this previous discussion, pointing out the fact that the couples who really do love and care about each other do cheese-y stuff ALL.THE.TIME.  (Maybe I was exaggerating a bit…. Dramatic much?)

Nick: ok, ok…. you can get the tee too.  And we’ll wear it on the same day.
Me: Nope, you don’t really want too….
Nick: No, No, I do.  Seriously, you really want the tee, and obviously it’s a really cool tee, so you should get it too.
Me: But you don’t like it when I want to be cheese-y.
Nick: It’s ok, really!  I want to take the picture together at Disney.
Me: Ok, Ok!  I’ll get the tee!  *Me and Mickey are dancing in my head right now!  Oh, the excitement (because seriously…. I can never pull off cheese-y with this guy!)*

So, the direction of the story goes like this….

Be looking out for a super cheese-y Heather and Nick, rockin’ some super sweet Mickey tees at Disney without a care in the world, while probably wearing mickey and minnie ears (because that’s my true secret plan of cheese-y-ness.)

I would never be cheese-y on this level though…. Just stop.

Please tell me that this is NOT you!

(1. I hate the new pinterest widget and tried using it and regretted it.  So these are not pins.  2. I tried to at least source the pictures, but they all went to something stupid or non-existent, so I couldn’t.  If these happen to be your pictures and you’d like them sourced, feel free to e-mail me and I’d gladly do so!  Although, if that last picture is yours, you may not want to admit that.)

Do you do cheese-y things with your significant other?
Or do those awesome ideas usually get kicked to the curb?
Do you have two sides also?  Are they like my two-sides, or are they different?
