8 things you may not know...

Blogging has been light lately. Lots on my mind, but not much to write about. So I thought I would have a lighter post about me:) My friend Tracy has tagged me to write 8 things about myself, that perhaps you may not know...

1 - First, this post itself is very difficult. I do not like to share things about myself. I have no problems with you asking me anything at all. I will answer and answer honestly, but to just write it here... very difficult. I often question many, many of the posts on this blog... wondering if I am letting too much of myself show. In the end, I think it is all good though.

2 - I was born in Kokomo, Indiana. Ever heard of it? Probably not. I lived there all of four weeks or so, and have never been back!! I hope to see it one day though.

3 - I grew up 15 of my first 18 years in Germany. And, heaven forbid, I DO NOT speak German!! When I first came back to the states people were appalled by that fact!! I, however, have never, ever come across on opportunity where I even would have used it if I had known, so you be the judge...

4 - Ross and I (okay so this is not specifically about me) were born in the same year and graduated high school and college in the same years as well. This isn't too uncommon except that we met after all of the schooling was done. What is funny about it is that now we can listen to the radio and hear a song and be like, "Hey this was when we were in 10 th grade!!" And then we marvel at the fact that we were living totally separate lives, miles apart, not aware of the other... Okay, Ross doesn't, just me.

5 - I pray in the shower.

6- I love really great grocery stores. A little weird, I know. They recently opened a new Whole Foods near us, and I think it is the greatest place. I don't even know why.

7 - I also love the weather and weather patterns. I check the weather everyday. When we lived in Massachusettts, I checked multiple times a day. It is my only problem with Southern California... there is nothing going on when it comes to weather.

8 - I love traditions. Family traditions, church traditions, holiday traditions... love them. It is a precious gift from my family that I want to pass along... From special Christmas ones, to Corned Beef and Cabbage on St Patrick's Day. I think it is little things like this that make life worthwhile .

So now I am supposed to "tag" eight people to do this as well... I don't even know 8 bloggers... and Tracy tagged me....so, besides my sister ...you, yes, YOU, reading this... it's your turn. Either start your own blog, and tell me about it, or put it in the comments box... I would love to learn 8 things about you!!
