I was tagged to tell you 7 things that you may or may not know about me…

1. I went to Arizona State University and graduated in 2000 with a degree in Marketing. After a few jobs, I decided I didn’t like the corporate side of Marketing and eventually got my teaching certificate. I taught 3rd grade before Ellie came along.

2. I love frogs and turtles. When we first moved to Texas, Tony yelled from our front door to come outside. He had found a toad in our side yard. I think he was a little taken back by me going right over to it, then asking if knew what happened when you picked one up. He shook his head. I picked it up, and it peed. {{{eeewwww! gross, right?}}} I was a tomboy growing up and was always messing around with frogs, toads, turtles, tadpoles, crawfish, polywogs and all those other creatures that made the prissy girls scream in horror.

3. I met my DH online. Seriously. I wanted to move away from AZ and I made up my mind that I was either going to TX or CA. I had my heart set on Southern California, because I figured this was the one chance in my life that I would be able to just pick up and go. I was searching apartments in the San Diego area and shaking my head of the cost of living. I finally realized that I had to have a roommate or I would be living in a 300 square foot loft for $850 a month. I got on a roommate finding website and got an email one day from someone seeking a roommate for a downtown 2 bed, 2 bath condo. That was Tony emailing me!! We got to emailing, then talking, then visiting, then moving in together (yes, we were crazy!!…in love). About a year and half later we were married and the rest is history.

4. Some of my favorites include the color red, Italian or GOOD Mexican food (not Tex-Mex crap) and country music.

5. I am an only child. For those of you who have met me, does this explain a lot?

6. I played soccer for a long time, but then had to have knee surgery. I don’t think I ever completely bounced back from that injury. I was playing indoor soccer in San Diego and re-injured my knee. I pretty much know that I can’t ever play again unless I want to go ahead and plan on another surgery.

7. My 2nd toe is longer than my big toe. “They” say this is a sign of being stubborn. Me stubborn?…hahahahaha!!!
