Wisdom, Wrongs, and Whoopie WIth The Hull's!!!

Yes, folks....
It IS that time!! 
The time of 
Wisdom, Wrongs and {everybodies favorite} Whoopie!! 
Today is a good, good day! 

This weeks couple is so very near and dear to my heart! 
The husband was my VERY first friend, and my VERY first enemy ;) 
he's my brother! 
And his much prettier half...well, she was my nanny! 
And now my sister! 
{sounds wayyyyy more scandalous than it really was... she was his girlfriend before my nanny but, I like to make my brother sound like a perve :) I mean what sister doesn't?!?}

The two dolls were high school sweethearts. Young lovers at their finest... and they still are today after over a decade of marriage and two little kiddies!
I love them both to the moon and back! 
My brother knows how to push my buttons like no one else but he can also make me laugh till tears so I guess I like him ;) And Julie is as sweet as tupelo honey, she has one of the sweetest soul of ANYONE I know with the perfect hint of sassy! I mean... they just don't make em' better than that! We're all still trying to figure out how Wes got so lucky...

What I love about this interview is they filled it out separately and haven't seen each others answers!!! They've been waiting in suspense for a whole week and now I finally get to share it with them! What makes it EVEN better is I'm with them both right now!! SO I get to hear their laughs and see their smiles!! YAY! 

SO without further ado I give you some of my very favorites 
Wes and Julie Hull 
{This picture really captures their fun love!} 
and a little something else....
YUP! that's me as the flower girl!! Just wish I still had those awesome kitten heals... barf! 
 and a little note from Julie about these priceless photos...

"Our Wedding pictures are hilarious to us.  The day of our wedding the lady that did my pre-wedding hair trial didn't show up the day of the wedding to do my hair!  So, I didn't get what I wanted at all, neither did my bridesmaids.
Wes has never let anyone else do his hair since the wedding!  They messed it up sooo bad. So basically we hate our wedding photos.  Maybe one year we can dress up and do it again :-)"

1. How long have you been married?

Julie: We have been together for eleven in a half years and together almost sixteen!!!

Wes: We have been married 11 years 5 months and 21 days.

2. What made you realize you could spend the rest of your life with one another?

Julie:  What made me realize I could spend the rest of my life with Wes is the way we get each other and we don't force one another to change into something we are not.

Wes: There is no one time I just always knew. Some things in life are very obvious.

3. What is the best piece of advice you received during your first year of marriage?

Julie: The best piece of advise I received during our first year of marriage is never go to bed angry at each other.  We have broken that rule a few times in these eleven years, but we have done pretty well with it.

Wes:  Always file your taxes on time, and don't spend more than half your monthly income on your house payment. Most importantly "credit cards are the devil".

4. What is your favorite thing about being married and why?

Julie: My favorite thing about being married is going through this journey together and being so comfortable together ( In a good way, we are like an old married couple).  I love it!!

Wes: The longer we are married the more the things change. It was once just being together, then it was making plans together, then it was starting a family, then it was raising a family, and now my favorite thing is seeing all of those things grow and come together just like our marriage.

5. What is your fondest memory throughout your married years?

Julie: Being together since we were in High School you go through a lot of changes together.  I can't pin point one fondest moment, but since I have to definitely my wedding day and the day Megan and Wayne were born.

Wes: There are so many great memories that I can't even start to pinpoint one. My favorite times are when we are all enjoying the same activity, weather it's golfing or just hangin around the house.

6. What is the biggest struggle you overcame in your marriage? 

Julie:  Probably the biggest struggle we overcame in our Relationship not Marriage is for sure our younger years.  Figuring each others buttons and which ones NOT to push.  Our married life so far so good :-)

Wes: For me it was learning that Julie had a whole other life and family away from ours. Just kidding

7. At the end of a rough relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourself?

Julie: At the end of a rough relationship day the most important thing to remind yourself is not to hold GRUDGES and FORGIVE!!  (Wes, Kayla, & Shirlee).  Sorry to throw names out their but it kind of runs in the family... Lol

Wes: I just have to look around for a second and see what all we have made together, and I realize what I've got.

8. What advice would you give to others that are trying to make their love last forever?

Julie: My advise to others trying to make their love last forever is to always tell the truth no matter what!

Wes: Always tell the truth, and listen to your spouse.

9. Where is the most risque place you made whoopie?

Julie: Hhhhmmmm, whoppie ;-)
     In our younger years, at a golf course, thats all I am going to say

Wes:  I don't understand the question. I guess Whoopies most risque movie would be the one were she dressed up like a nun...sister act I think it was. ....Please don't use any of this against me when I run for president in 2016

and here are these two lovebirds now with their adorable babes!! 

Awe.... they make my heart smile! 
Love you Wes and Julie!!

Wisdom, Wrongs, and Whoopie With The Davidson's!!!


Hello Lovies!! 
Today is a very dreamy day over here. 
We have our SECOND installation of 
Wisdom, Wrongs and Whoopie
:)
Does it get better?
Don't think so! 

Today we have a DARLING couple, you can't help but fall head over heals for them in a matter of seconds. After I finished reading their interview I couldn't resist just smiling. They're so lovely, so fun and so dang cute! I just want to pinch their cheeks! {too weird?} And besides being so completely scrumptious they are wise beyond their years, I think they are young lovers with old souls, you can really feel the love between them. It gave me butterflies!!  

They are
 Mr. and Mrs. Davidson 
Russell and the gorgeous Jaleen

I went to high school with both of them 
{They were high school sweethearts!!!} 
Jaleen was always such a sweetheart and she always looked fabulous in her cute little A&F outfits! 
{A&F was the sh*t at the time ;) } 
The only thing I DON'T like about these two is that they live in San Francisco!
Why you gotta be so far away!?!
:( 
I know if they loved closer I would probably try and hang out with them 24/7 and be a stage 5 clinger because I'm a little bit obsessed with them so maybe it's a good thing they're in SF :)

Here's the Gorgeous couple on their Wedding Day! 
SO. MUCH.LOVE
And here is their interview answers... grab a tissue and prepare to laugh!! 


1. How long have you been married?

Jaleen: We have been married for a little over a year and a half. 

Russell: A year and a half (together for 9)


2. What made you realize you could spend the rest of your life with one another?

Jaleen: When we went on a three week national parks road trip in my little VW bug, complete with a tiny two-person tent and stainless steal wine glasses. We camped in below-freezing weather in Yellowstone and melting weather in the Grand Canyon and didn't shower for days at a time. At the end of the trip we looked at each other and said "If we had more money we would go for another 3 weeks". Of course I knew I wanted to marry him long before then, but this experience made me realize that marriage would be the most wonderful adventure. 

Russell: Before proposing we had been together for 6 years and although we had normal ups and downs as any other couple does we only grew closer and stronger. I loved everything about her and I knew in my heart that there was nobody else that I would rather share the joys of life with.


3. What was the best piece of advise you received during your first year married?

Jaleen: Hmmm, we have heard it all: "Never go to bed angry", "Fight naked" etc. but my very favorite advice has been to make it a point to pray together. 

Russell: This came after we had been married over a year, but the best advice has been “Combine your bank accounts”. Although it was really practical it was extremely important. It wasn’t just a combining of finances but a change of perspective that removed separation and tension in our marriage.


4. What is your favorite thing about being married and why?

Jaleen: In my vows I said that Russell has this way of "showering me with love and putting me in my place all at the same time". I absolutely love the way that he still flirts with me, that he picks me up and hugs me every time he gets home from work, and all that other good stuff. However, the best part about being married is that my husband challenges me every day and we grow together through every life adjustment. 

Russell: I love the way she always challenges me and how I can approach every situation knowing that she will be there for me.


5. What is your fondest memory throughout your married years?

Jaleen: My fondest memory has been getting the keys to our tiny apartment in San Francisco, because we had no idea what opportunities would come out of our "new life". 

Russell: The day of our wedding was amazing. It stands out to be because we had been together for a while before getting married I didn’t think that marriage would change our relationship much. But marriage has been a great change and that day stands out with such significance and importance that I will never forget how perfect everything was on that day.



6. What is the biggest struggle you overcame in your marriage?

Jaleen: The biggest struggle and the biggest blessing has been moving to San Francisco. We are used to living in small towns, so moving to a city that neither of us new very well was culture shock. I will never forget Russell having to teach me how to ride Muni and BART. But we have come to view our relationship in a completely new and refreshing way. We are high school sweethearts, so after being together for 9 years you think you know each other inside and out. Getting a fresh start by moving to a big city and meeting new friends has challenged us to look at marriage differently.It has always been natural to treat him as my best friend, but now I have learned to view Russell as my husband. 

Russell: We have had quite a few struggles throughout our relationship. Many of our struggles came from changing situations and circumstances that arose. We moved to San Francisco after college and also wanted to start a family, two things which were completely foreign to us. We quickly realized that we had very little control and that God placed us in each situation for a reason. Communication and prayer were what held us together and helped us through each situation that arose.


7. At the end of a rough relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourself?

Jaleen: That the purpose of marriage is not happiness, but holiness. 

Russell: If we have had a disagreement I have to remind myself that no matter how much I believe I am right I need to try to see things from Jaleen’s point of view. Rarely are either of us 100% right about something. Overcoming rough patches is not done alone and selfish thoughts and motives doesn’t make crossing them any faster.


8. What advise would you give to others who are trying to make their love last forever? 

Jaleen: 1. Never stop being playful 2. TALK! 3. Find great friends to vent to. 

Russell: Marriage is not something that you can enter into to make yourself happy. Although you will find joy and happiness from your relationship and your spouse, but if that is what you rely on then it will be very difficult to face the rough moments of life when they happen.


9. Where is the most risque place you made whoopie? 

Jaleen: Hot springs? :)

Russell: (Russell is too shy to answer this one ;) ) - Jaleen 
I told you that you would love them! 
Please leave them some love via comment or like!! 

Thank you so much for sharing Jaleen and Russell!! 
You guys are way too awesome! 

Stay tuned for next weeks couple they are very near and dear to my heart!! 
AND 
***Spoiler Alert***
Let's just say I am seeing a trend with the hubby's being a little shy about the whoopie question but this next one takes a real interesting twist!

Wisdom, Wrongs and Whoopie With The Hulls!!!

Hello Lovies!! 
Today is a VERY special day. 
Today is our FIRST EVER interview with a married couple! 
And not just any married couple but my adorable parents! 
They are probably my favorite people to be around, they have the BEST sense of humor and such warm hearts!
 I think Dorothy said it best....
there really is "No place like home!" 
They were my home for the first 18 years of my life and although I don't physically live with them anymore my heart is still very much at home with them. 

These two lovebirds will be married 40 longgggggg and lovelyyyyy years on April 29th!
Yes, the Royal couple did select their wedding date because it was my parents {its a good date!} 
And didn't they look damn fine!!! 
The darling Larry and Shirlee Hull
My dad's long hippie hair and don't you love my moms dress?!!? 
She made it!
Here they were nearly 40 years ago...
I was just a twinkle in their eye ;)

1. How long have you been married?

Shirlee: Duh

Larry: 40 years we have been married. 

2. What made you realize you could spend the rest of your life with one another?


Shirlee: I trusted Larry to always be there and always have a sense of humor


         Larry: I had a feeling deep within that Shirlee was the one very early on. 

3. What was the best piece of advise you received during your first year married?

 
Shirlee: To not put your own expectations on your mate to achieve - do them yourself.

       Larry: remember I said we have been married 40 years, I don't remember any advice given in the    1st year. Besides I learn by experience, I wasn't really good at taking advice in my younger years. 


4. What is your favorite thing about being married and why?

 
Shirlee: Companionship and waking up to my best friend, security, and feel stronger as a unit
      
       Larry: My favorite thing about being married is having someone to share your dreams and experiences with. It is more enjoyable than doing it alone. 


5. What is your fondest memory throughout your 40 years of marriage?

 
Shirlee: Having Kids and now Grandkids and a loving extended family - family time and vacations

      Larry: Probably my fondest memories of the 40 years would be the birth of Wes and Kayla. Life changing miracles for sure. 

6. What was the biggest challenge you overcame throughout your married years?


Shirlee: Raising kids, cuz we had a very different background and we were not always on the same page.

       Larry: Our biggest challenge....Probably compromising on differences of rather important life changing events that were in our future, such as major moves , or career changes. we were not always on the same page, but we compromised and things always worked out fine. We have been blessed that way.
     


7. At the end of a rough relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourself?

Shirlee:That the family unit is most important to keep together, and we are just a piece of the big puzzle

      Larry: After a rough relationship day I remind myself to be Patient ,compassionate, tolerant, forgiving, and most importantly , grateful that I have someone to share with. The goodtimes as well as the rough times. 
    

8. What advise would you give to others who are trying to make their love last forever? 

Shirlee: To have your own life too, so you have things to add and share and communicate in the relationship

      Larry: The most important thing a couple can do to make their relationship last is honesty and communication. I am still working on communication skills.  


9. Where is the most risque place you made whoopie? 

Shirlee: Probably our Houseboat, cuz we had lots of visitors and no real bedroom! 


Larry: The most risque place we made "Whoopie" . That is difficult , when you have 40 years to review. You probably would'nt want to know. In todays political climate we would be considered " Pervs" if I was to tell you the MOST RISQUE place . So I will leave that to your imagination.  

Clearly somebodies being a little shy about question 8 
(see image below)

And there you have it folks! 
Are they not the CUTEST!?! 
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hull for helping us start out this interview series with a BANG
I love you! MUAH! XOXO
Please make sure to leave them some love via comment or like! 

Stay tuned for next weeks married couple! 
You're gonna LOVE them! 
XOXO
