Natalie tagged me a while back and I've never filled this survey out! Here goes...
random info
10 years ago:
I was 17 years old and a junior in high school. Who knows what I was doing...being crazy I'm sure. Thank the LORD things change.
Things on my to-do list today:
-Bible study
-Get invites for Crews birthday at least written out
-Lunch at Peter Piper with the girls...need to invite Kevin Bailey since he's now a desperate housewife too.
-Meet with two of my favorite girls at the house during the boys nap time.
-Leave the boys to go to crave with Alisha and for me to go to work downtown.
-American Idol results night
What would I do if I suddenly became a Billionaire:
-I'm not sure if I could figure out ten percent for a tithe...I guess you could just give half...not like you would need all that money. It would be so much fun to give away so much money.
-I have to confess I would get a housekeeper
-Pay for this house and fix it completely up
-Buy another house for struggling college kids to live in...or for our interns to live in.
-Hook my parents up with something...they have most everything, but find some way to give back to them.
Three of my bad habits:
-Forgetting my cell phone, not having it on me, or just checking out and not calling people back for several days.
-Passing gas under the covers and then trapping Blake under it. He hates that.
-I leave every cabinet door open. I don't even notice it. They are just always on.
-Leaving the kitchen water running while I work in the kitchen. I love the noise.
-Running late.
Five jobs I have had:
-Working for my dad at his office...saving for a car before I was fifteen.
-Birthday Party Hostess at the Plex. (Games, Go Karts, Bumper Boats, mini golf, batting cages)
-Life Gaurd for three or four summers at Wichita Falls Country Club.
-KC Cleaners...then some mafia guy in Abilene at his house...scary...had to quit that one.
-Haskell First National Bank in Abilene, Nanny, Medical World Conferences, Assistant at PWood...sorry more than five.
Five things people don't know about me:
-I HATE cockroaches.
-I raced pigeons when I was younger and was on the Today show with my dad in high school because of it.
-I used to go hunting all the time. Killed my limit in dove and I've shot one buck and one hog...lots of squirrels...dad used to pay me a dollar a squirrel because they chewed all the wiring in our attic. Sorry animal lovers.
-My best friend Kent...his mom used to spank me when we were like five because I wouldn't keep my shirt on when we played outside. I didn't think it was fair he got to have his shirt off. Seriously...I mean there was no difference.
-One time in early elementary school, my best friend dared me to ask my mean church choir teacher the definition of a bad word (which I won't mention)...and so she punished us by taking away all of our tokens at this game place we all got to go to at the end of choir camp week...I was mad so I made this other kid use his tickets and buy me a skull head key chain. Then my best friend Kent and I wrote "YOUR NEXT" on it and hung it on her car door handle. My very first death threat to ever give.
Ok, so I tag...I think everyones been tagged.

VALENTINES DAY TRIBUTE TO MY BOYS
I had a revelation the other day. I was mopping our horrible lanoleum floor the other day and I began to get angrier and angrier as I couldn't get the huge black skid marks that streaked across half of it off. I found myself frustrated and saying things in my head, "What would possess my husband to push the boys around so fast and hard through the house on their tricycles until there were huge black skid marks on my floor THAT DON'T COME OFF!!" Who would do such a thing? As soon as I found myself complaining I realized that I would take those skid marks every day and in every part of the flooring in my home so my boys can know what it is to have a father who loves them and honestly enjoys every second of playing and being with them! WOW! How priceless. I pray each and every day for my sons that the love their father so selflessly gives them will transfer into the knowledge and understanding of how much their heavenly father loves them and pursues them every second of every day! So for now, the skid marks remain and I'm even able to smile and remember ultimately who faithfully loves and pursues me each day...my heavenly FATHER. So, for Valentines Day...I am thankful for how much I love my husband, who is such a good picture of how GOD loves me...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY BLAKE, CORBIE AND CREW!!!

14 Weeks Pregnant, 5 Week old Puppies, Pneumonia, Stomach Bug, Smelly Feet
So it's been a while since I've blogged...life has been a tad full! In case you haven't heard, I'm 14 weeks pregnant right now and we are really excited! I'm getting fatter every day, but also feeling less tired and sick every day! YEAH! I think we'll find out if it's a girl or boy toward the end of February! I'm trying to think pink though!!
The week before Christmas our sweet Boxer Zoey had two little puppies! They are too cute, but such a handful. The smell in the bathroom is so overpowering if we don't clean it constantly. Only a couple more weeks before we can give them away. Anyone want one? They are soooo sweet!
So...Crew had double Pneumonia after Christmas...now we think Corban has it...except now he's throwing up and pooing everywhere! I'm hoping it's because of the antibiotic and not the tummy bug! We'll see! Tired of being inside though!
Smelly Feet...well that has to do with today. My feet smell really bad from these shoes I've been wearing with no socks and it's making my stomach hurt. I should go wash them, but I can't quit watching Celebrity Rehab on VH1. If you haven't seen it you should tune in!
That's pretty much it for the Chilton's. Life is good, real and full and we're thankful for every bit of it. I'll try to be better at blogging, but no promises! ;)

3. How long dated? 2.5 years
4. How old is your man? 30
5. Who eats more? Him.

7. Who is taller? Blake by 7 inches
8. Who sings better? Blake has an awesome voice, but he has a hard time picking up harmony unless I teach it to him...so I would have to say that I sing better!! HA!!
9. Who is smarter? I don't know who is smarter. I definitely did better in school...but he doesn't even try and can pull a B...so if he tried...he probably is a lot smarter than me.
10. Whose temper is worse? I would have to say his although it's gotten a lot better and of course...I have a slight temper too. ;)
11. Who does the laundry? I definitely do the laundry. For the last month it's been completely done every day...no dirty clothes. Surprising. He will try to do it sometimes, but he almost always ruins something so I BEG him not to do it.
12. Who takes out the garbage? Mostly Blake, but if he forgets I do it.
13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are looking at the bed from the foot of it, Blake sleeps on the right side.
14. Who pays the bills? I have always done the bills, but the last couple of months Blake has been doing them.
15. Who is better with the computer? I would have to say that I am...he knows how to email...oh and I taught him how to pull up spider solitaire the other day!
16. Who mows the lawn? If our mower wasn't broke I'd go mow that foot tall grass right now. Blake mostly mows, but he's been gone so much that I've done it since the summer mostly.
17. Who cooks dinner? I definitely cook dinner...although Blake knows how to make a sandwich and macaronni. Sad thing is he still can't even make the instant oatmeal right. The kids look at it like, "We're supposed to eat that glue?" :)
18. Who drives when you are together? We take turns. Blake falls asleep while he drives so on long trips I mostly drive because even if he does drive I can't fall asleep because I'm too afraid.
19. Who pays when you go out? He does because I hate carrying a purse.
20. Who is most stubborn? I would have to say that I am. He gives in and definitely says he's sorry WAY before me.
21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? He definitely is. I take forever to say I'm sorry...although I'm getting better.
22. Whose parents do you see the most? It goes in spurts. His parents like to come stay at our house and visit us...while mine mostly come for day trips or we will go there for a weekend. Sometimes we see mine a lot...then sometimes we see his a lot. Just depends.
23. Who kissed who first? Definitely he kissed me first...on the forehead outside his apartment.
24. Who asked who out? He did.
25. Who proposed? Blake.
26. Who is more sensitive? Neither one of us are overly sensitive. I'm probably meaner though.
27. Who has more friends? For sure Blake. He doesn't meet a stranger. I'm more the recluse type.
28. Who has more siblings? Me...youngest of five.
29. Who wears the pants in the family? I like to wear the pants, but GOD has been gracious in showing Blake how to lead and me how to follow. I have to say that although he is for sure the leader...he is just always gracious in wanting my input and truly valuing my thoughts and opinions and desires for our family. So...that's pretty easy to follow.
Okay, I think I have to tag 5 people: Steph, Maury, Kimbo, and I don't have too many more friends, but everyone can do it if they want!!

8 Random Facts/Habits
I was tagged by my friend Natalie to give 8 random facts/habits about myself.
The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
My eight random facts and/or habits:
1. I am deathly afraid of cockroaches.
2. My dad raced pigeons my whole life and I spent several years racing pigeons with him. No...they don't go in a gymnasium and run laps...they get dropped off several hundred miles away and then fly back to our home. Embarrassingly enough, my sophomore year of high school I was on the Today Show for racing pigeons with my dad. YES YES...they came to our house and did a segment on us. I do own a copy for any viewers who might want to partake in seeing this!!
3. This may be well known about me, but I seem to always have a stain somewhere on my clothing as well as my house is always a bit unkept. I used to never be like this. I don't know what happened to me. Hopefully I will change back soon!
4. When my uncle passed away my sisters and I had to sing at his funeral. A one hundred one year old lady played the piano for us and she kept playing all the wrong thing. We stood on stage hysterically laughing (you know like when you were little and in church and not supposed to laugh so it made you laugh harder)...well it was this type of laughing and we couldn't stop. Finally we just sat down and quit all together. It was horrible, but absolutely hilarious.
5. I miss my husband so bad right now that I feel like I might possibly go out of my mind.
6. I was the one in college who changed the marquee sign on our theater building to say something really mean about our dorm director. Really mean. I've repented.
7. If I could ever go back to school for my masters I would love to do Christian Counseling. In the mean time my passion is just being in people's lives and walking through life with them.
8. I have to use Sally Hansen Cream Hair Remover to remove my mustache. EVERY LADY SHOULD PURCHASE THIS because it's soft on the skin and doesn't leave large burn marks...special thanks to my friend Laurie who talked me into nairing my lip in middle school and I've had a mustache ever since...those dang Nair burn marks too...OUCH!!!
Okay the girls I have tagged...I don't think I have eight friends so I will tag two of my favorites...Maury Jo and Stephie!! Love ya'll!!
