TAGGED

I know my sister Julie tagged me a week ago but I needed time to think about what I should write. Then Sheila tagged me today, so I guess it is good I waited. Here's how it works: I must post 7 random things about me and then tag others to do the same. You think it sounds easy enough, right?

1. I met my husband on a blind date but I didn't go on the date with him. I was on a date with his good friend. That was the first night I met Ryan and when my date told me Ryan was pre-mission, I was totally not interested but I thought he was cute. The next weekend I went and hung out with the guys hoping my blind date guy would be there but he was sick so that's when Ryan came into the picture. We had fun getting to know each other. We did date before his mission but decided to be friends a month into his mission. When he got home, I wasn't even planning to go and see him but he called me and the rest is history!!!

2. I love to watch all my favorite shows on TV. I love the Food Network and Rachel Ray and Alton Brown. I love to watch the Next Food Network Star and am rooting for Amy to win this year. Other shows I love is Heroes, Medium, Smallville, 1 vs. 100, Identity, and Big Brother. I know I am a dork but it is hard when you get hooked onto a show. You can't stop watching it. I have tried. On ya, and I almost forgot, Bill O'Rilley. I love his show. He does such a good job, doing his job right. I love his honesty!

3. When I was growing up I had a bad problem sleep talking and sleep walking. I have since grown out of the sleep walking, thank goodness, and only sleep talk occasionally. But man was it embarrassing to sleep over at other people's houses. One occasion was at Sally's house when I slept walked right out the front door and their house alarm went off. I quickly woke up and jumped back into my sleeping bag and pretended to be asleep. I was so embarrassed. Her parents came down and thought some boys were trying to get in. I just kept on pretending to be asleep and didn't reveal the truth until the next morning!

4. When I am bored or watching tv or a movie I pick at my nails. It is just a bad habit and I can't break it. My sisters and mom can't stand it but my loving husband has never been annoyed by it!

5. I love to cook and can't wait to cook more now that I am a stay at home mom. I like to cook easy things but I think my favorite is making desserts. I guess it is because I love to eat desserts, too. I use to experiment more when I first got married but not as much. I hope to change that here soon once life settles down a bit. I especially love to get recipes from others who know it is good and easy to make.

6. I love to shop for Drew. It is so fun to walk around Target, Ross, and Babies R Us. The funny thing is I can't buy clothes unless it is a spankin good deal. I usually only buy them at Target if they are on clearance and Ross it is already a good deal. I love to find good deals and so excited when I can get a whole outfit for $3 brand new! Yes, I did accomplish that one time. Sometimes I will splurge and buy it regular price but I must really love it to buy it not on sale.

7. I check my email like 8 times a day. I know I am so weird but you never know if you will get an email that needs to be read right away. It is the worst when I am waiting for an email, such as my husband and his job. Then, I might check it a little bit more. But I only do this if I am home all day. I could never do it while working. Sometimes, I have a few friends that we would sit and email back and forth to each other through out the day. Our responses were sometimes instantly. It was fun, don't do it too much anymore! I don't have the time.

So I finished my list and don't really want to pass this burden on but if any of my Kump cousins, Mark and Mary, and Scott and Marjorie would like to do this, they may do so!
