A is for...

...Amy

Since I'm supposed to be sharing more about myself.. what better way to start than to finally share my '25 things' that I keep getting tagged to do in notes on Facebook.

:: 1 ::

I have been with my husband for ten years this May, but we just celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary this past fall.

:: 2 ::

I have two sons and am not disappointed that I have "two of the same." (I can't understand why people would ask us if we were sad that our second wasn't a girl!) We don't think we're done... but currently, I'm pushing for 3; he's pushing for 4. We'll see~

:: 3 ::

I am very artistic, crafty and creative, but have found from experience that hair is not my medium.

:: 4 ::

I decorate my home for every season... Autumn, Christmas, Winter, Valentine's, Mardi Gras, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Memorial & Labor Day (stays out all summer)... everything but Halloween.

:: 5 ::

I have a hard time making decisions. I can waiver between sides (which carseat to buy, what to ask for for my birthday, what to buy so-and-so for Christmas) for months!

:: 6 ::

In college, majors I declared included Pharmacy, Business Law and Interior Design. After 4 1/2 years, I finally made it out of three colleges with an Associates Degree.

:: 7 ::

I am very picky about my food- brands and preparation. My husband calls me a "food snob." But I say, "What's wrong with knowing what you like and how you like it prepared?"

:: 8 ::

I (am finding that I) love to cook and love sharing what I've made with my friends!

:: 9 ::

When people ask me about my siblings, I love responding with "one of each." My hubby gets to say the same thing about his.

:: 10 ::

I am still looking for my niche...

:: 11 ::

I secretly well, not so much anymore wish I wore glasses--and own a few pairs with non-prescription lenses that I wear when I want to.

:: 12 ::

I have only ever lived in Washington State.

:: 13 ::

I love my handwriting so much that it's become an unhealthy obsession. I write and rewrite lists, notes, cards, letters, signs and even checks until they're perfect. If anyone else writes on any of those things... off to start a new one!

:: 14 ::

My hero is my brother who is currently serving in the Marine Corps but I wish he was home more often and can't wait until he's out and back home safe and sound. Deep down, I wish he wasn't so brave, but my son looks up to him and it amazes me--the mind of a child and the special bond they share.

:: 15 ::

My best friend is my sister... who lives too far away (even though it's only a 2 hour drive). I wish she were closer for my kids' sake too... but love when Mason decides (on his plastic cell phone from the 'Doctor Kit') to call Aun' Jess.

:: 16 ::

I like to talk a lot but am really self-conscious about the way I sound to others.

:: 17 ::

I fall asleep with the TV on every night. Usually to my all time favorite Canadian sitcom, Corner Gas.

:: 18 ::

I am naturally blonde haired and blue eyed.

:: 19 ::

I am thankful for my parents who have been married for 27 years and serve as great friends, mentors, teacher and role models.

:: 20 ::

My pet peeve: negativity. I have enough in my life, so I try to surround my self with optimism and people who are optimistic.

:: 21 ::

I have always known that I would be and always wanted to be a mom. It's the hardest job I've ever had, but it's also the most rewarding and I love it.

:: 22 ::

Other jobs I've had include: Interior Design Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Apartment Manager.

:: 23 ::

I judge [others] too quickly.

:: 24 ::

I have been to Europe, but never to Mexico (and have no desitre to).

:: 25 ::

I love stupid cartoon humor... Family Guy, American Dad, the Simpsons, Futurama, Home Movies.

:: 26 ::

I break the rules.

love!
