I'VE BEEN TAGGED!

I know I've been tagged several times before and never did anything about it, so I guess I better follow through this time since I've been tagged twice within the last week. So here you go. I'll try not to bore you too much.

6 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME ARE......

1. I too wanted to be a boy when I was little, 1) because I knew Michael was my Dad's favorite child, and 2) because I didn't really have hair til about 3 years old. Infact, I used to argue with my cousin, Nathan, because I honestly believed I was born a boy but turned into a girl. Now I can assure you, that was not the case.

2. From about 5 years old to 11 years old I lived on a remote island in Alaska. My Dad, managed a logging camp, we were surrounded by forest with the ocean as my back yard view. A bear chased me home from school once (lets just say he wasn't as close to catching me as I thought he was). My class consisted of 2 girls, self included. I absolutely loved it and was devistated when we moved.

3. I loved photo shoots growing up. My sister Gayle, would dress up, do make-up and take pictures of my little sister, Melissa, and I. She did this for most of my child and teenage years. You should see some of the pictures now. Pretty funny! But it's fun to look back on.

4. I've wanted to be an Architect since I was young enough to build with blocks. I've also wanted to be a carpenter, and do everything in my own garage, build my own furniture and what ever else I wanted to create. I still want to be both, some nights I still lay awake for hours coming up with the "perfect" designs in my head.

5. I'm a total Hippy at heart. Luckily I married someone who feels the same way. I daydream for the day that I can have a huge organic garden and prepare and feed meals to my family from it everyday. I love yoga and hope to certify in it and teach it someday. My goal is to maintain a completely balanced and natural lifestyle, from my skincare to my eco-friendly "green" home.

6. I come from a family of 8 kids. If I'm able to, I would love to have 5 or 6. I love being a mom, and would love to have a big family. When I picture myself as the person I want to be, I'm surrounded by my loving husband and children. Who knows, time may change that, but as for now thats what I hope for.

I really loved reading this and I hope all your dreams come true.
PS - Why were we "invited" to your blog? Is it a private blog now?

See, that wasn't so bad! I didn't know very many of those Andrea. I hope you and Eric can have your Organic farm. :) You'll be great at whatever it is you guys do. Also, I'm glad Eric married a "boy at heart" girl, since that's what he made me be.

I want to become an architect also. I asked Sean if I could go back to college to become an architect and he told me the only way he would pay for school is if I became a Doctor. He just wants me to support him so he can golf all day.

Yay, I can comment on your blog again. Sorry Andrea but you are way to pretty to be a boy (or a hippie)! I think that was the only thing I didn't know about you.
