Tarah, I love you sis.  But I’m not sure I have enough weirdness in my life to make this interesting.  My sister in law, Tarah, tagged me to write about ten weird/odd/random things or facts/habits about myself.  For the sake of y’all getting to know me better, here goes:

1. You all knew this, but the statistics are a bit humerous: from February of 2004 to April of 2007, I was NOT pregnant for only nine months.  I think I’m close to an expert by now!

2. Except for my first 3 months of life and a six month break when Ryan & I first got married, I’ve lived in the same zip code my WHOLE LIFE.  I’d love a change.  We’ll see where we move next!

3. I’m very organized (some would say anal…but whatever!). I plan out a dinner menu for the whole month.  I have an excel sheet for grocery shopping, organized by how I walk the store. My kids toys are organized by types.  I have a cleaning schedule I stick to.  I could go on…

4. In high school I dyed my hair a lot.  One time after dying it my hair had a major crisis.  It was all stretchy and totally falling apart.  My mom took me to her stylist and she gave me several treatments to save my hair.  I’m thankful she did and I learned a lesson!

5. I think I have one of the coolest engagement stories on record.  Ryan built a temporary gazebo in a park near my parent’s house.  We walked there and he flipped on a switch - the whole thing lit up and music started playing.  We danced to a special song and he had a huge vase of roses there.  It was incredible!

6. When I was a kid, I used to lay my clothes out on the floor for the next day before I went to bed.  From head to toe, everything I was going to wear.  Ya, even organized (anal) back then, too!

7. I LOVE water.  Swimming, water skiing, rafting, boating, throwing rocks into water, having the sprinklers on.  I think it would be so cool to have a cabin by water someday.

8.  Drinking plain water while pregnant makes me nauseous.  I have to have a bit of juice mixed in with the water to get it down.

9. I kind of liked the feeling of having my ears pierced (at one point I had four earring in one side and five in the other).

10. When I was about 12 years old, I’d ride my bike to Pizza Hut with some friends and fold their pizza boxes for a free personal pan pizza.  What a mooch.  I bet the manager wasn’t excited to see three giggling girls pull up on our bikes!

Now I tag: Heather Hughes, April Moffatt, Becca Hammagren,  Andi Marshall and Lisa Wolin.  Don’t feel obligated to do this, but I’d love to read your answers!
