Accent Much??

Hello friends and new followers and happy Tuesday to you all! Yesterday, I was talking to my hubby about how excited I am to move to Fargo and to get away from Minnesota for awhile. Scott was excited to see if leaving my home state will make me lose my Minnesota accent...

Accent? Me?? I don't have one of those! ...Do I?

I have lived in Minnesota my whole life and they say that whatever you are exposed to the most is what becomes the norm. Well, I must have been exposed to lots of elongated o's and very harsh a's, because I apparently have acquired a bit of what they call a Minnesotan accent. Mine definitely isn't as bad as some are out there, and until I met Scott and his family, I had never been told that I had an accent at all! Granted, they let me off with saying it's not there all the time, but they have noticed that when I get nervous or become very excited, it comes out A LOT. Now it's become a running joke in his family; me, the little Minnesotan girl with the big Minnesotan accent. I don't hear it...

They all think I talk funny...

Anyway! That being said, I recently received a Facebook message from a peer of mine, asking if I had been a part of a wedding video recently. "No??" I thought, "We didn't record our wedding..." And then it hit me: about a year and a half ago, Scott, my mom, and I attended a wedding show. It was a lot of fun and just as we finished sampling some (more) cake, a camera crew stopped us and asked us to talk about our time at the show. I never thought that interview would be used or pop up again, much less for professional use, but apparently it did and now my hubby, mom, and I are all featured on the company's advertisement- haha! You can check out our video for yourself (and maybe you'll hear a little Minnesota accent)- it's always kind of fun to finally found out what your bloggy friends sound like, isn't it? *Disclaimer: Does anybody really like seeing/hearing themselves on camera? Not me!*

We're the second ones interviewed- I come in at around 0:40

Also, it was recently called to my attention that a photo of me is prominently displayed as a showcase photo on my wedding photographer's website. Once again, more publicity that I thought would never actually be released. Either way, it's very flattering and always kind of shocking to discover.

This little gem made the website...

Soooo... that's my claim to fame today! What about you?? Do you have an accent that everybody seems to hear but you?? Have you been recognized as "that girl" from some advertisement?? Anyway, I'll be going full-force today at school and play practice, but I'll be sure to try and visit with you all in the very near future here, I hope! Also, one more follower to go before my giveaway! Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading/watching today,
