TAGGED????????????????

Alright, I have been tagged! Geez, thanks Toad!! I am supposed to list 7 things about myself and then tag 7 people. So here goes....

1- A few days before I was baptized, I decided I better say a swear word. I figured that it would soon be washed away and that I better say it now because after baptism you can't do anything wrong! Nice 7 year old mentality right? Anyways, I decided I better whisper that "bad" word to the telephone pole; the one that was in between my house and Molly's home. I figured no one would hear.
2- I have a confession, "Mom, your silverware the one that had the swirlies on it, well if you dig in the ground before you get to the Indian clay you will probably find several of your spoons and butter knives.
3- When I was 5 we had a family picture taken. I remember the day vividly. My mom of course wanted us all to match. I hated the fact we all had to wear sweaters! I hated sweaters, they made my neck and belly itch like crazy!!! Anyways, I remember throwing a fit because I didn't want to wear the sweater. My mom would not let me wear anything different. So I came up with a plan. I went into the bathroom and wrapped my belly and arms in toilet paper and then put the sweater on top of it. The problem was solved, I didn't itch! Looking back at the picture I think I added a little bit too much stuffing!
4- I am a list maker, and love making lists. Whether it be lists of things I need to accomplish, things I want to do as a family, places I want to travel to, my personal goals etc... I also document absolutely everything!!! I am a little excessive in that area. I love keeping pregnancy journals, gratitude journals, dream journals, funny book journals, love note books, kids journals, school memory book journals, you name it. I am always shocked when I read something that I thought I would always remember that I totally forgot about. That is why it is so important to me to write everything down, otherwise I would forget! I have kept a detailed journal ever since I was little. It was nice when I met Jeremy all I had to do was pull out my checklist that I had previously made of traits I wanted my husband to have. I just went down the list and was able to check every single thing off. Hey, someday my kids may want to know what there dad wore on our first date, what he ordered at dinner, and the first song that we ever slow danced to. For the record on our first date no lie he wore black corduroy pants, a brown polyester shirt, and white (yes WHITE) high top shoes! Now, I am definatley NOT Miss Fashion, but honestly the white high tops threw me off! I still have that brown polyester shirt, I am going to have to put it on the blog.
5- OK enough with the stories. I absolutely LOVE music. It is constantly playing day and night. I can never get sick of it. I especially love Enya, anything instrumental, Celtic, Opera and well the list goes on. I love listening to it very loud!! I love that it drowns out all the noise!
6-I love being a mom and also spending time with Jeremy and the kids. Especially our time in the outdoors. Whether it be hiking, biking, camping (as long as Jeremy has his "bear" gun) or the weekly adventures. I also enjoy jogging and skiing.
7- I love to write poetry. I haven't written anything for quite sometime, but I would eventually love to take some creative writing classes and get back into it.
