Tag from Jamie!

I've been tagged twice lately, and I'm finally getting around to fulfill them! Sorry girls. Here they are:

Here's how to play:
1. Link your tagger (Jamie) and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here it goes...I'll try to be "random" like the instructions say :).
1. I hate looking for things. My hubby can attest to that! Unfortunately I lose things a lot. If I can't find something, after about 2 minutes, I lose patience and ask Dan to help me find it. Hallelujah for Dan because he helps me find my make-up, my cell phone, my shoes...yada yada on a daily basis.

2. I love gardens. Someday I will have a HUGE garden of my own. My very favorite foods to eat from the garden are yummy tomatoes with salt and pepper on them and peas!

3. I love to create things. I've designed lots of baby announcements, birthday invitations, wedding invitations, blogs :), advertisements, fliers, logos, Christmas cards, graduation announcements, business cards, party invitations...I really enjoy it. It's a fun thing that I like to do for friends and family for FREE! :)

4. I LOVE to decorate. I think I should probably move this one to #1 because this one occupies my brain a lot. I would LOVE to open a children/baby boutique because decorating kids' rooms are the very best thing to decorate! I honestly dream about ideas how to decorate. I'm a freak!

5. I got in a bad car accident 7 1/2 years ago and it changed my life. I broke my leg (compound fracture) and I've never been able to be as active as I'd like ever since. I've had 4 surgeries, and I'm 99% sure I need another one. Only recently have I decided to live through the pain and continue to go to the gym. What a challenge.

6. I grew up on a farm. Most people seem surprised when I tell them this about me. I have operated heavy machinery, tractors, swathers, you name it. It taught me how to work hard, and I'm grateful for it now. At the time though, I loathed every minute of it. I learned how to drive when I was about 13 years old because of the farm.

7. I had my first two kids 12 months apart. Was this on purpose? NO! Lol. I was nursing Oaklyn at the time, and I was taking the "mini" pill. WELL...needless to say, Connelly was a gift from heaven. (That I was pretty upset about for a minute). But, I would never change it now. Oaklyn was a really bad baby, when I say really bad, I mean REALLY BAD. She cried every waking moment of her life until she was around 9 months old. So, I honestly believe that Heavenly Father knew I would be scarred for life and sent me Connelly so that I would keep having babies! :) Imagine finding out that you are PREGNANT when your newborn is 3 MONTHS OLD!....AHHHHH. By the way, this all happened smack dab in the middle of my last year of my Bachelor's degree...I can't imagine how I got through that.

I tag: Jo, and Liz, and Jessica, and Whitney, and Chris or Staci, and Kallie, and Shandie
