I did this on facebook and thought it would make a good post. If you read this then leave your blog address in the comment area and list your own 25 random things- I'd love to know more about you too! I thought I couldn't do it but once I got started it was fun!
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I don't think I'll be able to do 25 of these things.
2. I always wanted to have 6 or 7 kids, until I went through pregnancy- now I love the number 3.
3. I took a 90 minute ferry ride to Canada with my niece, Linzy, and we were surrounded by "Red Hat Ladies"...it completely freaked me out- there were about 75 of them- all in red and red hats!
4. I wonder sometimes if I have any half-brothers or sisters out in the world somewhere...my father was a wanderer.
5. I'm completely addicted to raw sushi- thanks Amy!! ...and I got my son to love it too! Reed will steal it off my plate when I'm not looking.
6. I keep in touch with all my old boyfriends.
7. I didn't know how to really love someone until I was really, truly loved- that kind of love hurt.
8. One of the things that tips me over the edge is people who drop their ill-behaving children off at birthday parties.
9. I'm the middle child of 5, my older sister and brother were 14 1/2 and 12 when I was born. So throughout my family's changes I've been: the baby, middle child, the oldest and then finally after the second marriage- #9.
10. My kids and I have a goal to visit every state in the continental US- we've checked off: Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, Delaware, & Washington. This spring we'll add: Massachusetts, Rhode Island & Connecticut to the list. Only 26 more to go!
11. My maid-of-honor was my best friend from Georgia Southern and in turn I was her matron-of-honor, we had our first babies, our sons, 3 months apart. It was perfect. I haven't heard from her in 9 years.
12. All my life I told myself that I would not be happy if the man I married was shorter than me, if he was smaller than me in the waist and if his mother hated me- I was completely wrong. Did you hear that? I admitted to being wrong!!
13. I rarely admit when I'm wrong.
14. I've secretly wanted to be a lawyer.
15. I adore my relationship with my heavenly parents- it's a personal joy of mine.
16. When I turned 30, a light switch went on- I don't have to deal with certain kind of "crap" anymore. It kept going over and over in my head- "I'm friekin' 30 years old- I'm done with all that!"
17. The worst things you can do for the ones you love are the things they could and should do for themselves. -John Wooden
18. When I'm angry about something....I clean.
19. My kids know that I can't stand it when my DVDs aren't in alphabetical order. We have over 300 and all three of them know where they go.
20. The thing that hurts me the most is when people disappoint my kids- that breaks my heart.
21. I fold sheets really well. My husband, who managed the bedding dept. at Macy's even thinks so. King sized, fitted- you name it. I can fold it into a perfect square!
22. I'm afraid of heights but I would love to go sky-diving.
23. I got really pissed the day they took "Free Fall" down at Six Flags. That was the first ride I ever went on at 11- and the only reason I did was because my 8 year old sister, Emily, was going on it and I didn't want to look chicken.
24. I drove from Salt Lake City, UT to Atlanta, GA alone when I was 19. It took me 3 1/2 days and I was delirious most of the way because I had no cd player, no phone, only money for gas and a car that wouldn't go over 55 mph. Now I can only drive about 2 hours at a time or I get flashbacks.
25. I didn't know what happiness was until I met Bryan.

i love #25, perfect for V-day, so sweet:) and, you forgot to put how talented you are at cross-stich!!
Okay, here goes:
1. I make it a point not to cry in front of people and yet, bawled at Marley & Me- how embarrassing but what a good movie!
2. I too have wondered about half siblings- especially German ones...
3. I was known as The Chicken Goddess (AKA La Goddess du Poulet) in high school because chickens were sort of my mascot. They're so funny! At one point, I knew the word "chicken" in 12 languages :)
4. Here's a gross one: I have peed on the Oakland Airport parking lot out of pure desperation (and of course a very tall tour bus passed by while I was doing it!) I wonder how many tourists have a shot of my butt and horrified face in their scrapbook :P
5. I miss the family I grew up with all the time.
6. One of my favorite memories is playing in the woods with Ginny and Randy, making imaginary houses and climbing trees with cracker tins in tow.
7. My heart literally skipped a beat at the top of the Koln cathedral- not because of the gorgeous view but because I was sooo out of shape and 500+ stairs is no joke.
8. I miss Europe- there are just no words for that one.
9. I used to think being rich meant being happy. While I wouldn't turn away a million dollars, I do know now that being with my loved ones is where happiness lies.
10. I have actually been caught in the backseat of a car by cops when I was making out with a boy :)
11. I have also been caught by my dad which was wayyy worse because he knows how to friggin lecture!
12. I craved hot dogs and mashed potatoes when I was pregnant the first time and eggs and peanut butter the second time.
13. I dreamed of having four children and would still like to make that happen. It'll have to be adoption though.
14. My husband and I are about to getting wedding ring tattoos.
15. My professional goal in life is to be an author.
16. My personal goal is to be able to be happy with myself and my actions at all times.
17. My oldest son emulates my daily list making and gentleness with animals.
18. My youngest son emulates my easy smile and my stick figure drawing.
19. My favorite aisle is the one with paper and pens- really pure black ink gives me satisfaction :)
20. I will be flicking a bird under my graduation robes to all the people who said I would never go back to college once I got married, let alone finish.
21. I wear funky crazy socks when I'm nervous.
22. I listened to Cake on the way to my wedding :)
23. I love my husband even more than the day I married him. I would marry him again- he's a great man.
24. One of the most distasteful things I've had to do was write a paper in support of abortion for an assignment. I felt dirty.
25. I have a strong interest in geology and have been told by my geo. profs to change my major to it. Not going to happen though!
Very cool, Em! :) I love you!! I'm already planning our girls' trip!!! Yeah!!
I'm looking forward to it- would you be interested in visiting an Amish town?
