10 Things About… Our July

July 1, 2008 – 9:58 pm

1. July 2nd is our Anniversary (this year is our 10th!).

2. July 3rd is my birthday (not telling my age!).

3. This July, we are having a big BBQ for our Anniversary, everything from Creole Potato Salad to my husband’s yummy pulled pork.

4. Growing up, it was tradition to have our own family fireworks display on my birthday. The entire neighborhood would come out to see it.

5. I was scared to death of fireworks growing up.

6. When we are in Nebraska over the 4th, we still do a big neighborhood fireworks display (except I am one of the ones lighting them off!).

7. We got married on a Thursday.

8. One of my best friends from way back (elementary school!) is having her birthday today. Happy Birthday Megan!!

9. Megan & I always picked a day to celebrate our birthdays together. We did slumber parties, ate Tacos, lots of girl things, but the most infamous birthday celebration was the time we got caught in a REALLY BAD STORM…. outside…. by ourselves.

10. July is my favorite month- you can’t beat eating fresh veggies out of the garden, making a mess with Watermelon, staying up late and looking at the stars (or fireflies!).

On that note- I will be away from my desk for the next week, busy preparing for the party and out of town guests, and then having a little fun with the kids after the party. I will try to keep on top of my email, but it may take me a bit longer to respond.

Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND! Be safe, have fun, and enjoy!

10 Things about….

May 13, 2008 – 2:07 pm

(me and my family)

1. I have at least one cup of hot tea a day (with just a bit of honey)… I love Adagio Teas.

2. The entire family is shamelessly addicted to playing Rock Band.

3. My 3 yr old daughter can roll her eyes and cross them like I’ve never seen before.

4. I do NOT like shopping for clothes but have recently discovered MyShape and that makes shopping a litte more tolerable.

5. My cell phones ring tones are set to Paolo Nutini’s “New Shoes” (my work phone) and Yael Naim’s “New Soul” (my personal phone).

6. I used to write poetry and short stories and wanted to become either an English teacher or a Music teacher.

7. (Almost) Every year we have a garden we plant of veggies. There is nothing better than going out and grabbing something so fresh it just came out of the ground 2 minutes ago. We also have raspberries!

8. My 6 yr. old son is the builder of the family and spends hours and hours with legos.

9. My 10 yr. old son made his own CD of him playing recorder.

10. My husband still amazes me with how much he puts up from me. He gets me through those rough days (or weeks) and he takes care of me on the really rough days.
