Tag, I'm it!

I got tagged by my sweet friend Kendy to write 7 random things about myself that you may not know.... and being that I self divulge all the time, this is sort of a hard one for me. Let's see.....

1. When I was young, like 6, and all my classmates wanted to be nurses or teachers, I wanted to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson.

2. I have pack rat tendencies. I honestly have to fight them. Since marriage they have decreased dramatically, (thank you jason) but its a constant battle. Letters, cards, old notebooks, clothes... ugh.

3. In my career, I have worked with over 40 different country artists..... and I hate country music.

4. I secretly desire to design clothes. I have learned to smock, for future reference of course, and now I want a sewing machine. I am obsessed with Bravos' Project Runway.... and am constantly googling designers and fashion.

5. There are certain words that I always misspell. Definitely, supposed, sense, and approximately

6. I never got the grammar rule of when to use...Jason and I, or Jason and me, or me and Jason. My mother STILL corrects me, and now most of the time I just pause, and she injects the correct phrase.

7. Ah, here's one. My left leg is just a little shorter than my right one. Like, not even remotely noticeable, just enough to require back adjustments once a year. When I stunted in High School (go tigers) and would do a shoulder stand, the base would have to lower the right hand to make me even. Should I join the circus?

Update..and some exciting news!

Well, since I last posted a lot has happened! We had a WONDERFUL Christmas with our families. We went to the Liberty Bowl and won, we had a great new years at home and I've got more babies that you need to see.

Sweet Drew
was born in early November, and we love Ginger and Adam so much... And their 3 year old Morgan. Who calls Jason "Misser doctor Jason". Adam and Ginger were very instrumental is getting us to Jackson, and he was Jason's chief in his intern year of Residency. They have been our Jackson resources; introducing us around, inviting me for Bunko (i am terrible, cannot add in my head... the scoring makes no sense to me..) and telling us who to go to for taxes, carpet cleaning and everything else.

And my sweet, sweet lifelong friends Jessica and Lee and their new baby Parker! I went to see his nursey, which is amazing, and I can't wait to meet him, and to tell him how wonderful his parents are. They live in Jackson Mississippi and we wish that life allowed us more time together. We want Lee to take the Tennessee bar too so maybe we can live next door to them one day! Here is sweet HPH.

So, I need some help.... Jason and I are planning a trip to Italy! Bless, Bless my dear friend Kendy, she has allowed me to pick her brain and ask all kinds of questions.... she has been wonderful, and I totally trust her taste in locations, travel and just overall. Thanks K! Here's what I need to know... who has been there? DO you have anything that we need to know? Any favorite places? We are just trying to assimilate as much info as we can. Per Kendy's suggestion, we have really been studying Rick Steves and he has some great pointers. The plan is to fly over (and that is the part I cant even talk about... I am so nervous) and do Rome, the Coast, an overnight in Venice, and Florence for a couple of days. Sooooooooo, anything you have to help us plan would be very much appreciated. We are so excited about going. Ciao!
