um soo, I think I fell off the whole 30 day challenge. I might pick it back up when we find a place and get moved in.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Ya'll!

Day 13: Goals

I want to compete in another half marathon and beat my first time.
Learn how to sew somewhat.


I'm tired. That's it for now folks.

Day 12: What I believe

I believe in Christ.

Day 11: Favorite T.V. Shows

Currently and in no particular order, except for the fact that I have only been recently watching the first two on the list quite a bit......

Criminal Minds
How I Met your Mother
Ghost Whisperer
Law & Order: SVU
House
Grey's Anatomy

Day 10: Something you are afraid of...

Wasps, Bees, anything that stings. I swear they like to follow me around in the warmer months when they are out and about. Lucy and Ethan probably think I'm crazy when I go all out and sprint when I see one on our walks.

Day 9: Friends

My BFF! Daphne and I have been Best Friends since middle school, or Be Fri's, as we like to call each other (ya know- the first half of the best friend heart necklace). We're totally different in personality, ran around in different circles in high school. Went to different colleges and haven't lived in the same state since I graduated from A&M. We were each other's Maid of Honor in our weddings! No matter where we are and how long it's been since we've seen each other last, we always pick up where we left off. We tell each other everything and laugh out loud together. I love my Daphne!

Here's another pic of us, we recently went to Holland together!


This is Liana, we are friends from when I lived in Portland, Oregon. She lived below Joe's apartment and that's how we met, in passing one day and went to the movies with a group of friends. She was my closest friend in Portland. There was a period of time where we would literally hang out every weekend together. She's my "girl's night girl"! She lives in Cali now, and I'm hoping to see her sometime soon.

This is Jen. Jen is my friend. :o) We were college roommates at A&M. We lived in a fourplex and funny enough, my brother was our neighbor. She's my pen pal. We like snail mail. We've kept in touch through the years. She even came to visit me in Portland. I'm excited to be moving back to Texas so we can meet up more often than we have in the past. Especially now that she has a cute baby to see.

Work Friends

Everyone needs friends at work. Sometimes that's the only thing that can keep you going to work. ha! This pic is of my friend Luz. We worked at FergusonWellman together in Portland.
This pic is of my friends from my days at Southside Animal Hospital. Tracey, Gwen, and Carlena! Tracey is the sweetest and easy going person you'll ever meet. Gwen and Carlena were so hard to figure out in the beginning. ha! Gwen was probably my first friend in Nashville, we both lived in the same apartment community and got to know each other better by hanging out after work, then she fell in love with a military man and left me for El Paso. Over time I got to know Carlena really well and her eccentric personality. ha! I love spending time with her and will miss her dearly and our t.v. time together, watching '16 and Pregnant'.
I don't have a picture of the following friends. Katie and Sue. My mommy friends, we would have play dates together with our baby boys. I met Katie at a Bradley Birth class and hung out several times after her baby was born and then a month later, mine. I love hanging out with Katie, she makes me laugh. She moved away from me for NY. grrrr- but at least Joe and I will have someone to visit when we make our way up there. I met Sue through my husband and her husband. They went to Belmont together. We had dinner a few times and then life got busy. I found her on facebook and discovered she had had a baby boy about 5 months before me and we reconnected. It was about the time Katie moved and I was thankful to have another women in my life with a baby to hang out with. Sue also makes me laugh and I enjoy my time when we hang out with our little boys in tow. But the most important thing about Sue is.... she can cook. I love food and I love her food. My food is like scrap and her's is like gourmet. I shall miss her cooking. Of course, she'll be moving soon, but I'm sure we'll connect sometime down the road.

Day 8:Places I've traveled



Oh the places I've been. While I haven't traveled the world twice over, I've definately traveled alot within the U.S. at least, and some out of the country.

Growing up my family took camping vacations all along the west and up into Canada even. I've been to Mexico twice, once in college for study abroad and then for my honeymoon with Joe.

Last year when I was 20 weeks or so pregnant, I went to Holland with my Best Friend, her 11 month old daughter and her Mom. That was really fun and surprisingly, I did fine being pregnant, even went bike riding alot.

Some places I'd love to go to next, Austrailia, Italy and although I've already been, I want to take Joe to the Grand Canyon.

Day 7: Favorite Movie

While You Were Sleeping

10 Months Old!!

10 months old and growing up fast! I'm so cute in these overalls. ;o)Standing and cruising, but not walking yet. I have 6 teeth and probably working on more. I love laughing at Lucy, she's my friend. When I crawl, I usually have something in both of my hands. I'm getting more hair, although- I'm not sure you can tell from the pictures. ha!

 
 
 

Day 6: Happiness is....



laughing with my husband. He makes me laugh, he laughs with me, he laughs at me! I enjoy laughing and laughing out loud. It makes me happy!

(Doxies and cute babies also make me happy. Good thing I have one of each.)

Day 5: Sibling.



My brother, Mike, a.k.a....Michael. I'm his senior by a little over 14 months. Growing up, he liked the time between my birthday and his, because then it meant he was catching up to me. Ha! Now, I think he likes the time after his birthday and before mine, because then it seems as if we are two years apart, and I guess he likes having the lower age number.

We fought like cats and dogs growing up (think of an Ultimate Fighting match- ha! I'm serious- I have stories), but once I graduated and left for school, we got closer. We were even neighbors for one year in college. It was great. Now that Joe and I are moving back to Texas, I'm looking forward to being able to develop our sibling relationship as adults.

Having a brother is the best!

Day 4: My parents





Here's my mom and dad. This was taken a while back, b/c my hair is not that short anymore. My mom is a housewife, you can watch her on Channel 5, The Housewives of Keller, TX. (ha, totally kidding about that)
My Dad is a Resevoir Engineer for an Oil Company in Texas.
They've been married for 34 years, High School Sweethearts! (i think 34yrs- and if I'm wrong I'll update this post later.) They met in Italy where they went to high school as military brats. They have 3 motorcycles and have ridden all 3 on some kind of a road trip. They have been very supportive of me in life and I love spending time with them when I can.

Now that I have a son, I've enjoyed watching my parent's as grandparent's. It's neat to see how they interact with him, and to imagine what it was like when I was a baby.

Day 3: Your First Love

Well it could have totally been Parker Hamilton, who asked me out at a basketball game my 9th grade year at Bixby High. Not to mention, I didn't know who he was when he asked me out and I said yes, then had doubts and broke up with him a day or so later. ha!

I guess you could say my first love, er "puppy love" was with my high school sweetheart, Kenny. We dated for a bit in 8th grade, even went to the eight grade dance together, then I moved and when I moved back we started dating again. We pretty much dated all through high school.

Alas, we broke up.... it wasn't meant to be, plus we were going our seperate ways, different colleges. (where I met my true love, Joe)

sorry this post is a little late

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

Hmmmm, well currently the name is Bonafede Ormonts. No reason to name this other than this is our name. Bonafede is the orginal last name and Ormont is the new last name. Joe's grandfather changed his last name from Bonafede to Ormont.

Day 1: Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts

Following Jen's 30 day blog challenge that she got from another blog.

Howdy! I'm Kathy, I'm 29 soon to be 30! Married to my handsome husband Joe and I'm a stay-at-home mom to my precious son, Ethan, who is ~10 months old. I'm having so much fun with him. I'm a Christian and enjoy expositional preaching/teaching. And... I'm a proud member of the Texas Aggie Class of 2003!! Whoop!

this isn't the best pic, sorry

15 Facts
1. I used to drive a bus in college. I enjoyed this job and sometimes miss it. Sometimes.
2. I've never colored or highlighted my hair. I had always said, I would wait till I was 30 before I colored my hair, but now that I'm approaching 30 and don't really have much gray to color, I'm not sure I want to deal with the upkeep of coloring hair. I've also pondered the "going all gray" look.
3. I have a habit of biting my nails. It's bad, I need to quit. Do they have a patch for that?
4. I'd like to say I'm an avid runner, but alas, I am not. However, I like to sign up for the occasional 5k. Heck, I recently ran in the Nashville Women's half Marathon and was pleasantly surprised with my finish time. I'm thinking of signing up for another.
5. Up until recently, I was one of the only people I knew who was still driving their first car from high school. Just purchased a Nissan Rogue and paid cash for it and am so proud of that.
6. I wear glasses when I drive.
7. I'm half an inch taller than my husband, even though he won't admit it. ;o)
8. I was born in Lubbock, TX
9. I have one sibling, my bro... we are a little over 14 months apart.
10. I love dachshunds (doxies) and have one, her name is Lucy! I grew up with them and couldn't wait to get my own, once I was out of college.
11. I worked at Walt Disney World for a semester, during college. I worked in Animal Kingdom
12. I've been BFF's with Daphne since middle school. We remain close through all the years and miles between us.
13. I love food, which is why I need to keep running. ;o)
14. I'm shy at first, but once I get to know you and have let you into my circle, I'm loud and sometimes crazy. I'm sure my husband thinks I'm goofy.
15. hmmmmm......I'm stubborn and sometimes do things my way.
