6 Random Things

Elaine tagged me & I thought I rarely get tagged for anything so lets play along!

The Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

number 1:
I am working on building out my family tree and connecting as many family members as possible on geni.com. Its a lot of work but so far, very rewarding. Try it.

number 2:
I am really loving Mediterranean food. I think its my like #2 favorite now. I only started eating it when I moved to Houston 10 years ago but its a high fave now.

number 3:
I want to move to Colorado soon, like in less than 2 years. I have so enjoyed Houston the past 2 years but would like to raise my son where there are season. I have family in Denver and would visit in the summers and winters a lot. I even lived there for about 4 months after college.

number 4:
When I was in 4th grade I was called “The Wanderer” by my reading teacher. I didn’t like reading much back then and I would wander around the classroom and talk to people asking for answers to questions about books I was supposed to be reading. That stopped when she told me “Why don’t you wander on up to the principal’s office“.

number 5:
My mouth was too small for all the teeth I was born with. When I got braces in the 8th grade, I had 4 teeth removed. Later on I had my wisdom teeth removed as well so I have 8 teeth missing. I keep two of the wisdom teeth in my bathroom and just recently showed them to my kids, cavities and all.

number 6:
My friend Mary took my favorite picture of my husband to date at our wedding in black and white. Its a photo him casually resting on a pillar and he has one hand up saying hi. I have it on my desk at work and it looks like he is saying hi to me all the time. I love the tux too :D
