I have been tagged by my good friend Lis. I'm suppose to list 6 interesting things about myself or habits I may have. I will do a mixture of both:

1. I'm very rarely tempted to eat junk food when it's in my own house, however when I'm at other people's houses and they offer me junk food I could eat it forever. It is the weirdest thing. Growing up my Mom always had tons of treats at our house, but I hardly ever ate it. On Halloween I would put all my candy in a big bowl, eat one or two pieces that night, put it under my bed and forget about it. I would have Halloween candy for 8 months out of the year. Normally I would just use it for bribery for my brother to do stuff for me.

2. I swear I'm psychic. I've thought this forever about myself. This one time I randomly started thinking of this young women leader I had years and years ago. I just wondered what she was up to and if she had any kids. I kid you not the next week I saw her and her husband with their 2 kids at the training table. I hadn't seen her or thought of her in years. Similar things happen like this all the time to me. I will predict who is on the phone, what # I'm going to roll on a dice and all sorts of random things. It's so crazy!

3. I'm way to sentimental. I keep everything! I have in a box at my house almost every letter that has ever been written to me. I just know already that I will be one of those Mom's who keep every piece of art work their children ever do and all their reports from school and so on. I'm going to need many boxes!

4. I love playing really good practical jokes on people. My friend Heather and I when we were growing up would do them to our friend Kajsa. We would get her so good!! I think we felt so satisfied doing it to her because she was so smart and it was fun to see how far we could take it. One time when we were like 15, we came up with this great story and told her that I was moving to Washington. At first she didn't believe us but after about 2 minutes of convincing she just started hysterically crying and screaming at me " you can't move, you can't move" she was so emotional and dramatic that it made me start crying and Heather too. We were all crying so hard that it took me about 5 minutes before I could talk to be able to say that we were just joking! Honestly if you ever want to know how someone really feels about you, just tell them you're moving! Anyway I have pulled many of these in my lifetime! So fun

5. I will never bite my nails!! I use to be a nail biter before I got braces, but after I got them off I just can never bite them again!

6. I'm still a child at heart when it comes to Christmas. I still wake up at 4 in the morning to open presents. This past Christmas I woke up at 3:45 in the morning and just couldn't stand it any longer. I woke Greg up and said "Greg, Santa came to our house." I made him get up and we opened gifts then went back to bed.

Happy Halloween (in about 2 years)

Greg and I went Christmas shopping a few weeks ago at the mall. While we were there I was waiting for Greg to come out of a store so I decided to go into the Disney store and look around. I never buy anything because everything is so expensive, but when I walked in the lady told me that all Halloween costumes were on sale for $4.99! The only thing that's usually $4.99 at the Disney store are their pencils! Anyway I went over to look and fell in LOVE with this Nemo costume. Granted it's for an 18 month old, but that's how old our baby will be in 2 Halloweens from now, so I got it and decided to save it for her.

When we got home we were so excited about it that we went upstairs to our neighbors who have an 18 month old baby and tried it on her. I hope that our baby looks as cute in it as little Macey does!!!
