50 facts about the Coffins :)

1. When we work out Matt would rather do arms, and I'd rather do legs. I guess we balance out :)
2. Matt's favorite Disney Movie is The Jungle Book
3. We get obsessed with intense police-ish shows on Netflix every once in a while and neither of us care when the house is a disaster. It's basically terrible of us.
4. If we're going somewhere in the same car Matt almost always drives. I must be pretty scary. ;)
 
5. Matt finally has day shifts instead of graveyards, but every time he was gone I watched the Andy Griffith show to fall asleep. 
6. We're total sugar-aholics
7. We both love avocado smoothies. We might be some of the only people who do. :p 
8. I used to be the sleeping in one in the relationship... then Matt worked noc shifts, and now even though he's on a day shift, he still sleeps way later than I do. :p I feel so productive. (So, that was when I started this post last year... can you say procrastination? Now we're back to him getting up early and me sleeping in. Thanks to partying most of the night with our little buddy.)
9. I absolutely LOVE pictures. I hoard them a little.
 
10. Matt wants to do an EMT course before PA school
 
11. Both of us wish we could spend our anniversary in California being beach bums for a few days. :)
 
12. Both of us loved to road trip to Nebraska to visit our family last Summer! 
13. We love Psych! 
14. Matt kind of wanted to be a PA in the Airforce, but now I think we're just going to have student loans up to our eyeballs. And try to do a debt repayment program in a rural area to get rid of them. ;)
15. I like chlorine swimming, (no fishies to nibble my toes ;p) and Matt would ten times rather swim in a lake.
16. Matt is a master of sound effects. (is that just a guy thing?) Ask him to be a monkey, I dare you.
 
17. I have a prejudice against most college athletes. (Sorry guys. The good news is I love the ones in our family and once I get to know people I usually discover that some athletes aren't as obnoxious as I thought.)
18. I have a pet peeve about people being late- myself included. 10 minutes early is on time people! (especially if you have an appointment of some sort)
19. Matt has an excellent memory when it comes to gospel topics in the scriptures. 
20. I thought I'd be a bigger worrier as a parent than Matt (and I'll admit, I have my moments) but I think he's got me beat. ;) I think it's cute.
21. After I had Jaden I don't like to watch intense movies/shows as much, but Matt has been into some crazy ones lately- like The Killing, and The Following. I stress too much in them.
22.Matt and I just did the Feel Great in 8 challenge, and loved it! It helped us to kick start some healthy habits and get rid of some bad ones. (For a while at least). 
23.Did I already mention that we are Ice Cream Addicts? Like it's a category in the budget. Really.
24.Matt doesn't think we'll end up living in Utah after he's done with school... I'm getting accustomed to the idea, but I still prefer living close to family. :) Our kids need cousins close by!
25. Matt talks in his sleep- generally in Portuguese but lately it's been English... which is way more entertaining. ;)
26.I snore. Kinda bad since being pregnant. 
27. Matt is usually the one to make breakfast for us. I'm usually on dinner.
28. Matt quotes Billy Maddison like it's his job...
29. I quote The Grinch, The Princess Bride, and basically all Disney movies. He thinks it's weird usually. ;)
30. I love to read. Mostly brain candy, if we're being honest, but I try to read some educational books now and again.
31.  I'd rather sleep with the air conditioner on, Matt likes the windows open. 
32. We have similar high school dating experiences, and neither of us would go back for any amount of money. Ha
33. Matt plays the guitar. Occasionally, anyway. I'd love it if he had more time to just play for me, because...
34. I love the sound of acoustic guitar. It soothes my soul. :p
35. We love Criminal Minds! (But I still can't bring myself to watch the ones with little kids.)
36. Matt's favorite flavor is Cherry. I'm ok with cherry if it's like hard candies... but cherry ice cream or maraschino cherries are so gross! :p
37. My favorite flavor (as of lately) is peach. Especially the peach Italian sodas at Slurp's Up.
38. Matt and I both absolutely LOVED camping at Bear Lake. We'd love to make that a tradition.
39. We have very different tastes in music. Matt doesn't like pretty much all of the music that I loved in high school. He'll tolerate my Michael Buble Pandora station, but he prefers more mainstream stuff. (And all his Portuguese CD's from his mission. ;) )
40. Matt wants a big dog someday. His favorites are Labs, Great Danes, and Retrievers. 
41. I absolutely love chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies.
42. Matt likes snickerdoodles. 
43. We both really loved The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.  :)
44. And Divergent. (Until I read the books, and now I'm still flustered with the series. So good! So sad to finish reading them!)
45. Matt's celeb crush is Kierra Knightly... I mean, to each their own.
46. Mine is probably Ryan Reynolds.
 
47. Matt loves cake. I'd rather eat cupcakes. 

48. I have an obsession with pictures. I love having scrap books and photo albums to thumb through. Pictures are also my favorite decoration. 

49. The first flower(s) Matt gave me was a drawing that he left under my windshield with a note. :) It's probably my favorite.

50. The only books we've ever both read and both liked were the Hunger Games series. (Minus the first one... Matt started reading them with me after we watched the first movie, so he didn't see any need to read the first book. ;) )

Welp. It took me a year to finish this post, but here's my 50 random facts about us.  :)

  2. Don't watch season 4 of the killing! Like seriously don't. We love that show but the fourth season says the f word 50 times in each episode and has some things in it I really wish I had never ever seen. When you get to the end of season 3 just text me and I'll tell you what happens. Haha. Finding out is not worth the garbage you have to wade through.

    1. Ang, I'm so glad you said something! :) That's so dumb though, it makes me so frustrated that basically every show ends up going down the drain after a few seasons. :(
