I've been tagged!

I was tagged by my blog friend Megan who's son was also born in Guatemala. You can visit her family here http://journeytomason.blogspot.com/. I am supposed to share 7 weird/strange things about myself and then tag 7 random people and link to their blog. I am then supposed to let them know I've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. So, here goes . . .

1. I had a kidney transplant given to me by my mom and then after the experience, I became a kidney transplant coordinator. I thought I was qualified since I actually went through the whole kidney transplant thing personally. :)

2. I have an obsession with teddy bears and cuddly stuffed animals that I don't usually advertise. In fact, I have a teddy named Theodore that I've owned since I was 8 yrs old and I believe he has magical healing powers when I am sick. I would love to be able to sleep in a pile of bears and other stuffed animals if I didn't already share a bed with my husband. Now, that I have a daughter, I have an excuse to buy more teddy bears. "Oh, this is for my daughter."

3. Some people call me the "dog whisperer" because I have never met a dog, mean, shy, or otherwise that I couldn't immediately befriend.

4. I can not watch any movie where an animal gets hurt or killed because I will cry and get very sad even though I know it's not real. My husband gets really worried anytime we see a movie with an animal in it. People can get killed, maimed, injured left and right and I'll be fine, but if an animal gets hurt, forget it.

5. I love to read magazines. I subscribe to 'Real Simple', 'Shape', 'Glamour', 'In Style', 'Self', 'American Baby'. I read all magazines cover to cover because I'm afraid I'll miss something. I will also buy other magazines to read at the grocery store or in the airport.

6. I mostly read all the above magazines in the bathroom (okay, that's embarrassing.)

7. I really like to knit and crochet. I always have a project going, but it takes me forever to finish anything.

Okay, there's 7 strange/weird/interesting facts about me!

Not much going on today. Gabriella is at Grammy and Granddad's today. She went last night to stay because Dave and I went out on a "date" last night. We celebrated the 10 year anniversary of our "Justice of the Peace" wedding and we celebrated Valentine's Day. I can't believe we've been married for 10 years. It's hard to believe especially since I'm only 24 years old. hehe. There's no one else in this world that I would want to spend my life with. We have weathered a lot of storms in the past 10 years, but we've also had a lot of fun and had more than our share of blessings.

If you're still reading, here's some new pictures.
