Facebook fans will recognize this as a double post. Sorry!For non-Facebook fans, there is a post going around that you are supposed to list 25 Random things about you and 'tag' 25 of your friends. They are then supposed to do their 25 things and tag their 25 people. You get it. Anyway, I realized I actually enjoyed reading everyone's 25 things so I thought people might enjoy reading mine too.
My 25 are below. The picture is for #3!
1. I would give all my money and possessions away and start from scratch just to hear Luke say "I love you too".
2. Fall is my favorite season. I love the color of the leaves and the crisp cool air.
3. I love Bennett's soft fuzzy head. I hold him in front of me as he falls asleep and I nuzzle his soft hair. I want him to be small forever!
4. I think the entire reason I go camping is to sit by the fire and make s'mores. Seriously is there anything better than a gooey chocolate s'more??
5. I think my parents are the best parents in the world. I call them for advice, support etc. on a regular basis and treasure every moment with them. They have been married 41 years!
6. I am addicted to Netflix. As my S-I-L Sarah said "It's my social life"
7. I have a crush on Jon Stewart. He is intelligent and funny and best of all a great debater. I always liked him but I crushed him when he calmly explained why he thought gay and lesbians should have the right to marriage. He was so eloquent. I want to memorize what he said and use it! (As many of you know, I get too emotional and angry when debating!) Kurt is ok with my crush. :)
8. I hate it when people leave their crap (candy wrappers, popcorn etc.) in the movie theater. Did you grow up in a barn??
9. I have lived in Brussels, Belgium; Stockholm, Sweden; Dallas, TX; Nashville, TN; Olso, Norway; Atlanta, GA; San Francisco, CA; Chicago, IL; and now Seattle, WA. I do NOT want to move!
10. I luuuuuuv my husband. Celebrated 6 years of marriage last November. I felt comfortable with him immediately and really felt that he liked me for me and all of my quirks. I like that we can find humor and happiness in the small everyday things and accomplishments. I think finding happiness in the small things is so important!
11. I pronounce ELSE as ELTSE.
12. My car that I shared with my bro in high-school was a beat-up giant Chevy Blazer (the original SUV!). I could see my car from anywhere in the high-school parking lot because it was bigger than all the others. If we went over a bump the radio would go off and we could slam our fist on the dash-board to get it back on again. The windows also sometimes didn't work and John had to drive home from school once in the driving rain with both windows down, holding umbrellas out the sides. Ahhhh good times!
13. I have the best job - working 3 days a week from home!
14. My favorite candy is Milk Duds with Hot Tamales a close second. I have been addicted to candy for as long as I can remember and only recently have been able to tame the addiction.
15. I think I have some of the best, most supportive, fun friends a girl could ask for.
16. My favorite sounds are Luke and Bennett giggling.
17. I think people are way more capable than they think they are. Have more faith in yourself. If you had asked me if I could handle a severely autistic non-verbal 4 year old before I knew him I would have thought I couldn't. But you just roll with what life throws at you.
18. I have a TERRIBLE memory. I forget things as soon as I am done with them (books, movies, names etc.). I am also a terrible speller. Maybe it has something to do with not being able to remember how to spell?
19. I love museums - especially art museums.
20. I love taking photographs and tend to be picky about what I consider a 'good' photo.
21. I want Bennett to grow up and feel proud and protective of his brother. Not that I like violence, but I admit I would be secretly proud of him beating up any kid that makes fun of Luke.
22. I admit to tearing up a little bit when I wrote # 21.
23. My go-to drink is a Margarita. My neighbors even brought me one in the hospital the day after I had Bennett!
24. I much prefer to take care of personal and business via email. I am not a huge fan of talking on the phone, probably because I am on the phone all the time for work.
25. I like reading everyone else's 25 random things.
