Ok..Ive been tagged. Thanks alot Kristin...I have to write 7 things you may or may not know about me. And Im tagging EVERYONE on my Blog list....if you dont know who you are...check my list to the right and have fun!!
1. My favorite favorite time of year is Christmas. I love everything about the season. I love decorating and putting up the tree. I love baking and doing gingerbread houses with the girls. I love listening and singing along to Christmas music. I love reflecting on the meaning of the season and attending the Nativity each year. I love the anticipation, the shopping, the wrapping, the gifts under the tree. I love egg nog, homemade chocolates, visits with friends and Christmas parties. I love a cozy fire and watching the twinkling lights on the tree. I love each Christmas that we spend alternately with our extended family....it is always crazy but so much fun. I will miss all of this desperately this year....
2. I love to sing tho Im not any good. If Im alone in the car...Im singing. If Im alone in the house...Im singing. If Im cleaning...Im singing. I love tons of music and enjoy many genres....starting with disco 70's & Abba!
3. Im ADDICTED to Dancing with the Stars!!! I secretly wish I could learn all the dances and just dance!! It is so fun to watch and I love seeing the different choreography! I watch religiously every week...but dont watch the results show. I just check on the internet. This season I have loved watching Helio and Julianne. They are dynamic and his smile is so darn cute! How could you not vote for him???? The finales are next Monday..so tune in and vote!!
4. I love love love the beach, ocean and sun! While living in Florida we visited the beach as much as possible. These were my favorite moments! I loved going with Mike and the girls to the beach and sometimes just Mike ;)!! The beach/ocean is different each time you go. I love the hot sun, the sticky white sand, the crashing waves, the salt on your lips and I love playing with the girls in the waves!!!! Oh I miss it.....
5. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO excited....after 14+ years...to finally (hopefully) get in my 1st house!!!! We have waited so long...and lived in so many places. I cant wait to be in a place of my own....to do with it what I want....to decorate it and make it a home. To get us all organized....oh to be out of boxes and organized! I may have a huge bonfire and all are invited to attend the burning of the boxes!!!! I have loved choosing every detail (tho it was nerve racking)...I love that we will move in and have hand picked every last detail..making it ours. Cant wait...cant wait....
6. The hardest moment of my life was learning that my sweet 9 month old daughter had a brain tumor. Things like that..you just dont expect them to happen to you. I remember distinctly so many moments of that experience....from the moment Mike held my hand in the waiting room of the MRI department and told me that Emily had a tumor, from meeting with the surgeon and learning about the invasive procedure that they wanted to perform on her....from kneeling in her nursery with Mike pleading for the life of our daughter, sitting by her side in ICU as she came out of surgery hooked to every possible machine you could imagine and watching tears stream from her eyes. This was a difficult time for me and one I dont care to revisit often. It changed me and strengthened me. Im so grateful for our family, friends and the knowledge of the gospel that we have...that carried me through this time.
7. I married the greatest guy! I love and adore him to pieces. He is handsdown the hardest worker I know. He has grown and thrived through his medical training...never faultering in his strong desire to be a physician and help people. He works insane hours and I dont know how he does it! He deals with stresses that I cant imagine. He deals with life and death every day...and handles the pressure. He is a great husband and father. I love that he can come home from a 4 day/3night shift at the hospital and pay special attention to each girl and work math problems and work on letter formation. He loves getting the girls outside to do anything. He adores his girls and is excited to have a son! He handles and balances his life perfectly and inspires me to be and do better! Im so lucky to have him in my life!!
Ok..there you have it. That was hard. Good luck to all tagged!!
