The rules: Tell 10 interesting/weird things about you. When you are done assign 3 others the same task.
1. I have lived in 8 states so far. I say so far because I really hope that I get to live in many more places. I love meeting new people and getting to see the new scenery. Luckily I am married to someone who is adventurous too!
2. When I was a nanny in NJ a big group of us decided to drive to Virginia Beach. We drove through the night and we all felt pretty gross from traveling so far. We had our swim suits on and right when we got to the beach they were shutting it down temporarily because of a severe rain storm. Well we decided to take this opportunity and shower in the rain. If you haven't done it before it should be on your list of things to do before you die. It was the best shower ever!
3. My biggest pet peeve is when people don't put shopping carts away and just leave them wherever they want in the parking lot. Come on people are we that lazy we can't take 30 seconds and walk to the cart drop off? I always feel so bad for the little old men walking out in the freezing weather to pick up the carts. If you are one of them you should feel very bad!
4. I am terrified of heights...and one time I bungee jumped...never again...
5. One Sunday a couple friends of mine were flying down to Mexico on a private jet the next day. A spot opened up and I happened to be in the right place and the right time. It was so much fun! The inside of that jet was amazing!
6. I was almost struck by lightening once upon a time. I had a friend who was a photographer and needed help during a lightening storm to get a picture. We were outside and it hit a tree probably 15 feet away. You could feel the electricity in the air and there was this strange burning smell in the air from where it hit the tree. It was pretty scary.
7. I am almost 28 and I have a 10 year old sister at home. It's weird that she is only 9 years older than Madeline. She is such a sweet little aunt though!
9. I have gotten to wear 4 Superbowl rings. My institute teacher in NJ was Bart Oates wife and her and I became friends. He was the center for the 49ers and the Giants when they won the Superbowl's back in the 90's.
10. So I didn't get an epidural when I had Madeline, and it was by choice. I had a moment where I thought I couldn't handle it and they checked me and I was at an 8, and five minutes later I was at a 10. It was probably the coolest thing that I have done. It is just amazing that you can go through that just to bring a child into this world, and survive it. I will definetly do this again.
I am picking more than the 3 because I am. I think that I will tag Carrie, Jessica, Michelle, Mardi, Daphne and Brittany R. Enjoy!
