Tagged...

I was tagged awhile ago by Katrina Hines and Emily Ingram and have just now decided that, just in case anyone may be interested, I will give you some tidbit of hopefully interesting information about my life. The way this works is each player must list eight relatively random facts/habits about himself/herself. At the end of the post, the player then tags new people by posting their names. Enjoy!

1. I am double jointed in my elbow. In elementary school one day I was crossing the monkey bars and fell off and broke my arm. The first doctor set it wrong. So, within the next couple days a different doctor discovered what happened, had to re-break it, and set it right. For the longest time after the bone healed I still couldn't touch my shoulder. But as a result of that, I can twist it in an abnormal and somewhat unnerving way.

2. Of all the places I've been to so far, my most favorite is a place called Sharbot Lake. It's in Ontario, Canada. I grew up going there every year with my family. We would go the same two weeks in July, stay in the same cabin on a beautiful lake, and see the same people. Some of my greatest memories are at that place. It was also where TJ and I were engaged.

3. I love water skiing.! I like to play most sports ( soccer and volleyball are among my favorites), but I would have to say my favorite sports like activity would have to be water skiing. When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional water skier at Sea World.

4. Growing up, I had several interesting collections. I loved Marvin the Martian (A looney toon character). I collected dolls, figurines, pictures, anything that had him on it. I also collected water globes. I have about forty to fifty. Another collection I have and still keep up with is collecting pencils. I have over 300. I would collect pencils from everywhere I went. Today, I still pick up a pencil from new places that TJ and I go to. One other collection I started in high school, but haven't added to lately, are Boyd's Bears figurines. I still can't believe how many different collections I had. I'm sure it sounds like I was the queen of clutter. I promise you I 'm not like that now. The only collection I have on display are my Boyd's Bears, and their in the guest bedroom. The rest of my collections are packed away.

5. I am a neat freak! I've been this way for as long as I can remember. When I was little I had a rug in my room. Every night before bed I had to brush the rug with my hands to make sure the grain of the rug was all going in one direction, and of course, make sure my room was picked up. Today I still can't rest until the house is picked up and everything is in order. I feel like I have to vacuum my bedroom carpet every other day, because I can't stand to see lint and stuff on it ( The carpet is dark green so it shows everything).

6. Ok, I can't believe I'm going to admit this for everyone to read. Get ready to be shocked.... I bite my nails! I know it's a terrible habit and those of you who don't do it have no idea what it's like and how hard it is to overcome, but there it is. It's one of my habits that I'm not very proud of. I've been biting them for as long as I can remember. Somehow I managed to grow them out for my wedding, but they didn't last long after that. I think they should have AA or something like that for nail bitters. ---- Sorry, you had to read this.

7. I've been shot before! Nothing too serious. When I was little, I was out back sitting on my swing set. My brother was off in the distance, shooting his bee-bee gun at a target. He told me to move because I was in the way. I said "no". So, he proceeded to shoot me with his bebe gun. I remember screaming, because I was little. But, obviously, since it was a bebe gun there was no serious damage done. Brothers!!

8. I've only dated one person in my life! His name is Thomas John Logsdon. I'm now married to him, and I'm so thankful that God brought us together. He's my best friend!

PS. Sorry Katrina, I stole your idea for #8. It was so good and it applied to me as well.

I'll tag the following people (forgive me if you've already done this): Jess Frolich, Bethany Varner, Sarah Branine, Jen Horak, and Tiffany Wagner.
