The Halls: November 2008

I have never been tagged before but I thought I would give this a try. I was tagged a few weeks ago but I am just now getting around to it...my child is sleeping...it is a miracle! My wonderful friend Katie tagged me!

THE RULES::* Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.* Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog....Ok...7 random facts about me in no particular order:

1. When I was 6, my doctor misdiagnosed me and I ended up having a collapsed lung. I spent 10 days at Cooks Childrens hospital. I remember being there so well. I had to have 7 IV's, took breathing treatments multiple times a day, my parents had to sneak my sister in to see me, and I remember waking up in my Dad's arms after I had surgery.

2. I am really not OCD or very detailed about much but when I eat Frosted Mini Wheats I have to eat them in order from least frosted to most, which requires turning each one over and closely examining them.

3. Who knows if I would be married to Nate today or not! When he was a senior and I was a junior I lied and told him that me and my boyfriend had broken up so that he would ask me to his senior prom. He did and we started dating a few months later! Does this mean that there are sometime when lies are ok?? :)

4. When I was a freshman in college I had a seizure in the middle of my anthropology class...talk about embarassing! It is a very long story but what I remember the most is my teacher standing over me when I came to, she was trying to make sure I didnt swallow my tounge.

5. I dont like flying. I think it may be due to the lack of control that I have when I am in the air. Who knows... but I do fly and have gotten better since working at Usability Sciences. I traveled for work and pleasure 14 times last year. I am still trying to build the courage to fly overseas, not sure when that will happen!

6. I love to shop and I love new clothes. This has come to a halt since getting pregnant but I cant wait to get back down to my normal size and buy some new things!

7. This isnt really about me but I think it is great. Nate was born before my parents were even married! His parents waited 7 years to have kids and my mom was pregnant on her first anniversary so we are only a little over a year apart.

I tag whoever wants to do this...when you have the time!

Four years ago today I married my very best friend and 4 weeks ago today we had the cutest little boy you have ever seen. I can't believe how much has changed in the past four years. We have lived in 3 cities, gone to 3 churches, multiple vacations, and have truly enjoyed every minute of it! Even thought the last 4 weeks have been the hardest of my life I am truly learning to enjoy these times as well. He is already growing so much and changing and I know he will be one before we know it.

Nate - I can't thank you enough for loving me the past few years...they have been so wonderful and I cant wait to spend the next 60 with you. You gave me the most beautiful gift 4 weeks ago and there is no one else on earth I would want to be his daddy! We love you!
