About me...

Okay, my s-i-l Emily W. tagged me a long time ago, and I'm finally posting the answers. This is my first time ever responding--it was kind of fun :)

4 Things you may not know about me:
*I am allergic to the sun. Okay, not really, but I do sneeze twice every time walk outside into the bright sun. My kids do the same thing, so it is pretty funny when we all walk out of the grocery store together.

*I have a therapist, and have had one since I was 5. Growing up, his name was Kimball. Now his name is Everett. When i am happy, sad, mad, angry, joyful, etc. (you get the picture), I like to spend time with him. He just sits in my front room, ready and waiting whenever I find a moment. It makes my heart sing. (Can you guess what he is?)

*Tyler was my first kiss--over the altar. Just kidding--we were 16, but he was my first :)

*I am a bargain-a-holic-shopper. I LOVE finding a good deal. Maybe that is why Tyler thinks I am addicted to garage sales. I'm not. I know I could quit any day of the week...if I wanted to.

4 Places I Go Over and Over:
*The YMCA. I love Zumba (a latin-dance exercise class), Body Pump and running (well, I don't really love running, but I do it). I love that they have child care, so my kids can play with their friends while I exercise. It's good for all of us.

*Aldi--the best little grocery store in the world! It cut our grocery bill in half--love it!

*Church--I'm so glad we only live a mile from our chapel.

*Library--we know most of the librarians by name--they are so friendly, and we love books and movies!

4 People Who Email Me:
*Congressman Ron Kind-I like to give him my input on the happenings in the state of Wisconsin--yeah, we're pretty tight.

*My mom

*Kristina, my sis

*Dictionary.reference.com--I love getting the word of the day.

4 of My Favorite Foods:
*Bueno candy bars--hazelnut, chocolate wafer heaven. I got hooked on them in Portugal--Tyler found them in Puerto Rico and surprised me with it--yum! He's a good man.

*shishkabobs

*coconut shrimp

* Cheesecake with wild berry sauce (and Schwann's ice cream)

4 Places I'd love to be at:
*Swimming with dolphins in the ocean

*The Azore Islands (in the Atlantic--it was part of my mission--it's gorgeous there)

*outside in the backyard with my kids

*Curled up in a comfy chair with a good book

4 Movies I Watch Over and Over ( I love these movies, but I don't really watch movies over and over again--it seems redundant)
*The Sound of Music

*A Beautiful Mind

*Anne of Green Gables

*Gone With the Wind

It's driving Devan crazy, he wants to know who your therapist is?

Loving the therapist--I have one, too! But I really do need to use him more often (my kids do all the time), and I haven't ever been creative enough to call him by name. I didn't even remember what it was, but I just looked--Shroeder & Son. Hmmm. Is that a dual personality thing? ;)

And your trips this summer--WOW!!! Soooo fun!

I've had a few therapists in my time as well. Growing up his name was Kimball as well. Then I needed a marriage counselor, and got one by the name of Baldwin. He could not come with us overseas, so I had to get a new therapist when we returned- his name is K. Kawai. I like him the best. :)

Okay, Devan. It's my piano. And your not the only one who didn't get it--Tyler read my blog and was worried i had an imaginary friend :)

I loved getting to know you better! And I am currently looking for a therapist...

Emily said...

How is it possible that I have likely walked outdoors with you and your kids several times and never noticed the phenomenon? Next time, I'll be ready.

Angie said...

What a great post! It took me a while to figure out the therapist...and I even had the same one while we were growing up! (Don't feel too bad Tyler and Devan :)

Hey Swag, I saw that you had a blog off your facebook comments. I love exercising and Aldi too. I actually have learned to love running, the more I do it the more I like it. I love the Azores too, they are like heaven on earth. One day I hope to make it back. I love seeing pictures of your cute family and seeing your fun adventures. It is so fun to be reconnected.
