Doing the Tag thing!

Alright Sarah- You are probably the only one that reads my blog...so enjoy :) Yea, I'm pretty lame. haha.

Here are the tagging rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
4. If you're tagged, DO IT and pass on the tag


Random things:
1. I am ridiculously addicted to celebrity gossip. It's my guilty pleasure in life. Yes, I know that I am prying into the private lives of other people, but I somehow just don't care! For a wedding present to myself I got a year long subscription to People magazine and I LOVE it!!! I check celebrity websites sometimes too. It's pathetic...but it's me! I also am addicted to lame tv shows, but who isn't?? Haha!

2. I am allergic to pretty much everything in life. On a daily basis I will have at least 3 sneezing/couging/ wheezing attacks. Apparently it's sort of annoying to other people, or they feel bad to me. I, on the other hand, have become pretty used to them. As has Nate. I am allergic to dust (pretty much everywhere in the world), cats, horses, grass (yea, sucks huh?), hay, most things outdoors like pollen. It's not so fun actually!

3. Every person that knows me makes fun of me. I'm not sure how it happens really. Even if they have no idea who I am or who my other friends are, they seem to automatically know that they should tease me! Now, 99% of the time I actually like it. It's what I'm used to and if people don't make fun of me, I almost wonder if they secretly don't like me!!! I always react, which is part of the game. The other 1% I do get irritated, usually when they think my reactions are serious. Then they start teasing me about being sensitive and it just goes downhill from there. Usually it's just my normal life.

4. I'm addicted to candy. I love most all candy, especially chocoate and gummy things. I usually have some kind of candy in my purse at all times. Stashes at work, home, etc. If I'm there, I usually have candy on me.

5. Up until I met my husband, I honestly thought I would never get married. I grew up knowing that the one goal I had in life was to be a wife and mother. After dating someone for four years and then breaking up, I really thought God wanted me to be single (silly I know, seeing as I was only 23!). All my friends seemed to get married young and I was the typical 'always a bridesmaid, never a bride". I know that sounds silly, but I spent many a nights praying and asking for some kind of answer. And I remember praying that if I was meant to be single forever that God would give me the wisdom to know it would be okay. Don't get me wrong, I think there is nothing wrong with being single, but for me...being a wife and mother was everything. Of course, God has His own timing and He gave me the most amazing and faithful man I could have asked for. Praise God!!!

6. I cry ALL the time!! I seriously don't know what's wrong with me. It's not bad crying, it's just crying. At movies, tv shows (even lame reality shows!), stories people tell, most every week at church, songs...pretty much everything you could think of. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, means I have emotions and feelings...but sometimes it's a little out of control!!!

And...I'm lame and have no friends and I can't tag Sarah back...so I guess that is it :) It was actually fun!!!

Good stuff!

Whew! What a week I've had!!! I started my new job...and boy is it overwhelming!! So much information in my little brain is just too much :) It's a little scary and a little nerve wracking, but I know I'm going to love it! We saw kids for the first time today and it became even more real. I know it's going to be rough for a little while, I'm just looking forward to a couple months down the road when I feel comfortable!
We went to the Pirates game last night with Anne and our friends Sarah and Nathan (have I said lately how incredibly happy I we met them!!!). It was fun, although REO Speedwagon left me wanting more ;) They looked 90 years old dressed as 19 years old. It's nice to say I saw them though. So...Styx, Foreigner, and REO....all I need is Journey!!! It was fun though. Sarah is very close to having baby Ava and I'm sooo excited for them!! It's so nice to have friends close by that we can totally be ourselves with. Yes, I'm my dorky, obnoxious self with them and they still seem to like us!! They even understand my sarcastic joking ways...which I think some people wonder when I'm kidding! I'm sooo blessed to know them :)
I've also starting 'decorating' the house...which is way more fun than I thought it would be! With the help of my sister, I'm starting to LOVE my house! I mean, I have always loved it, but it's starting to look like 'home'. Nate has been great and has been working EVERY night on something. He built our new desk, works continually on the bathroom and does everything I ask. What an amazing husband :)
We got our pictures back from Andrew and WOW do I love them!!! I'm so pleased with them and can't wait to get our album :)
That's it for now...hope everyone is doing well :)
