I've Been Tagged

I'm so excited!!! I was tagged by Ashley and Lexi!!!
So here goes- 7 things about ME....
**1** My Mom was born in Rock Springs Wyoming, when my Grandma was 28 years old, and she was the first girl born in the family. It was the same thing when I was born... I was born in Rock Springs, when my mom was 28, and I was the first girl. Does this mean that Kirra should have waited to be born in Rock Springs in 2010? lol

**2** I am like a big kid, especially when I'm SWIMMING! It's no fun to go swimming and just hang out in the water. I want to play Marco Polo, do cannonballs into the water, dunk people, throw things to the bottom of the pool and race to see who can get it the fastest :) HOWEVER- I was recently reminded of my fear to jump off of the diving board (and for good reason) The first time I was going to jump off of one, my lovely brother decided to push me. I'll never forget the fear I had when that happened. And to this day, I really dont like diving boards.

**3** I love the Denver Broncos (more than I think I even know)! Yesterday while I was sitting with Chad, Shawn, and Dave eating lunch in the food court, some guy stopped by to say hello to them, and just had to mention how badly the Broncos are doing this year, and I was offended. How dare they talk bad about MY team? Being in Italy we get the games at crazy times...and I'll admit I've stayed up till 2 am to watch the game. Earlier this year, Jason was putting Austin on the bus, and mentioned that his team was LOSING, I LAUGHED and was ESTATIC because the Broncos were stomping on the Raiders. Then just tonight during the game against Cleveland, I was upset over a bad call against MY team. Who knew I cared so much about a football team?!?!

**4** I would rather scrub toilets than do dishes! That's how badly I hate doing dishes. And the dishes aren't as bad as doing the laundry. Laundry is evil!! It's seriously never done, at the end of the day you're still going to have dirty clothes, even if you did laundry ALL day. Its an evil process of getting it done too...Sort it, Wash it, dry it, fold it, put it away! What a pain!!! Maybe I'll be better about laundry when I get to the States... you know when it doesn't take 2 hours to wash ONE load...or when I dont have to put my shoes on, walk down 30 stairs, unlock the garage, just to get a load in the dryer! I know this isn't a secret to most of you... but did you know that I once washed one load of towels three times? This is because every time, I waited until the towels had that funny smell from sitting in the washer wet for too long... what a shame :{

**5** I'm sure you all have memories of a childhood pet... I remember my brothers dog Rambo, our hamsters- Booboo, Cheeto, Sam and Hammy, our cat Buster and my very favorite a little black dog named Scooter. With this being said... I am scared to get a family pet. My kids have been begging me to get a pet for at least the last two years. I've been happy that we live in a building that has a 'no pet policy' and that was the perfect excuse. That's until our neighbor decided to get a dog... then I had to use the excuse that we HAVE to wait till we move back to the United States before we can get a dog. Really guys...I'm more nervous to have a little dog to take care of, than I was when I found out I was pregnant. I'm sure when we finally get the little creature, it will melt my little heart. It will also be great that Kirra wont have to count on grasshoppers being in out yard to play with when she gets home from school.

**6** I dream of going on The Amazing Race! I LOVE that show - how cool would it be to race around the World, and have the chance to win a bunch of money in the end. Funny thing is... once upon a time I said I would NEVER travel outside of the United States...especially after I went to Mexico, and got SICK for three days, and came back with a huge jelly fish sting on my leg. When I was a Junior, I was offered a chance to go to Germany on a foreign exchange trip. I flat out told my teacher I never wanted to leave the U.S. again. After living in Italy for four years now... my eyes have been opened, and I'm greatful for the experience.

**7** I never thought I'd be able to think of 7 random things about little ol me, and now that I've started, I can think of a bunch of random stuff you might not know... silly things like: Growing up I was a baton twirler and walked in a couple of parades twirling a baton. I have a collection of Stamps, that I started collecting in Middle School. Once upon a time, not that long ago, I asked Chad why the weather in Hawaii and Alaska are so different when they are so close together? Why do maps have to be so darn deceiving? I refused to eat rice, broccoli, and meatloaf when we first got married, because I hated it... Honestly, it was because I didn't eat much of those things growing up...and I guess because mom didn't like it I didn't either..yea right LOL. Two of my most favorite things are DR PEPPER and the INTERNET and my TWO least favorite things are HAIR and STRESS.
