7 Random things about me...

1. I love to read. Anyone who knows me knows this. In Jr. High, my nickname was bookworm, and I still try to knock back at least two a week. We visit the library often, and if anyone has any good suggestions, I'll take them! I also love to read to my kids. Right now Kyle and I are reading The Indian in the Cupboard, what a classic.
2. I was the first of my friends to get married (at 19) and feel like an old lady with 4 kids, but I love them and wouldn't change having them or being married to Greg. Sometimes I wish I had gone on more adventures before all this responsibility, but we try to get out there and have fun.
3. I am a jealous wife. My husband is such a nice guy (and cute if I do say so myself) that I'm always afraid someone thinner or prettier than me will flirt with him. It doesn't help that he's a nurse and surrounded by cute female nurses. Right now he is on a Continuing Education trip in San Jose, CA with one of those cute nurses. Although I trust him, there is always that niggling self -doubt. Pathetic I know.
4. I'm definately Tye A personality. I think Greg's family thought I was scary after we got married, but I've mellowed out considerably. Greg has had a big hand in that. However, I still like things done right, and by right I mean MY WAY.
5. I love music, especially singing. I sing to my kids in bed every night. I sing in the car. I sing in church. I do wish my mom had forced me to keep up the piano. I only played for one year. But at least I can read the music!
6. I really hate to clean my kitchen. I will clean the entire house, if only Greg will do the kitchen. Especially mopping. I don't know if it's because it seems pointless or what. (it never fails, no matter when I mop, 10 minutes later someone spills something) But I do like to cook, and try to have yummy healthy meals for my family every night.
7. I wish my family lived closer. By family I mean everyone! In laws, cousins, and sibs. I love my family and it's so fun when we get together. I miss them. My sister Jenna and I have become pretty close this last year and it's so fun 'cause growing up she was just a cute little kid. (We're 11 years apart) Now we hang out. Of course I love my babies too, even though they're getting so big! Being a mom is a lot of work, but very satisfying.
