Tagged!

I usually hate these things, but I guess I'll play along.

THE RULES
1. The player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves - try to find 6 you haven't already posted about!
2. At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people and posts their names, and then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog for the rules.

1. I had surgery on my right ear about 5 years ago to remove a cholesteatoma (kind of a tumor) that was causing some hearing loss. I had a lot of ear infections growing up, so that's how I knew to get it checked out. I still don't hear as well out of that ear.

2. I do not like inside pets. Neither does Jacob. Our kids are going to hate us. Just the other day at a student's house during their piano lesson, their huge French Mastiff came up and slobbered all over my pants and sweater. Yay. Just another reason for no pets. No offense to all my pet-lover friends. I like animals, just not inside my house.

3. I wish I had a beautiful solo singing voice. I sing fine, but I have a choir voice. I've always wanted to take lessons so I can be more confident with my singing. I also want to take organ, but I'm a little reluctant b/c once I know how to play the organ I'll never escape the music callings at church.

4. I hate it when people tell me that I'm "so quiet". Yeah, that really makes me want to talk even more. I'll talk when I have something important to say.

5. I am a chronic toe-stubber. Jacob always teases me b/c I'm always stubbing my toes. He makes me wear slippers around the house to help prevent it. Fortunately I've never broken a toe, but I have bruised them pretty bad a couple of times. I guess I need to work on being less clumsy.

6. I eat at least a little bit of chocolate almost every day. I love all kinds: milk, dark, with nuts, with peanut butter. Yeah, I love chocolate. I think I get it from my dad who always devours the huge dark chocolate candy bars.

Well, those are my facts. Hope you all learned a little something about me.
I tag Jana, Shaela, Alissa, Cortney, Lindsay, and Brooke.

I saw this in front of a local church here and had to take a picture.

How to Host a Murder

Last Saturday, Jacob and I were invited to play How to Host a Murder with some friends. There were 8 of us who each had a character to play. We ate a really nice dinner first, then we played the game and tried to figure out who the murderer was. The theme was "Powar and Greede" (a Hollywood premiere). Jacob's character was a screenwriter from Paris so he got to do a French accent all night. Neither one of us was the murderer, but we had fun figuring it out. My friend Brooke let me borrow her cute clothes and accessories. Thanks Brooke! Sorry I don't have any group pictures.

Does anyone else think Jacob looks like the lead singer from Rascal Flatts in this picture? (don't tell Jacob I said that)

Thanks Michelle and Dave for inviting us. We had a great time!
