I'm IT

OMG! My friend Tracey (there we are at Tooties in downtown Newburgh) tagged me in this game on her awesome blog...I've never seen a game like this...I was tagged by Tracey(Tracey-tell me if I'm doing this right!)
The rules are:
1. To link the tagger and provide the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs.
5. Post the 6th picture from your 6 file folder of pictures
Here is mine (Daryn just moved all my picture folders off my computer except Fall 2008 so I'm using my 6 picture from my ONLY file folder!)It's of Shadow's scars from when he got attacked by a mean stray dog. You can see the pucture wound on this arm and the teeth marks under his armpit...He's OK now...after some pain meds and antibiotics...my poor doggie was just minding his own business...random picture, huh?

here are my 7 facts about myself:

1. I really like being a perfectionist
2. I am good at guessing the ETA "Estimated Time of Arrival" of things down to the minute ( I know this is totally strange but I've noticed it-haha)
3. I like to shop at LLBean and I am a Purdue Boilermaker. I've come to realize these are both due to the fact that I love being the 3rd generation to do those things-thanks, Dad and Grandpa.
4. I love tradition and I'm very intentional about creating it...for instance: every weekend that we camp with the kids I cook the same meals. That way when my kids are older and look back on memories of camping they will always say, "remember that snack mix mom used to make only for our camping trips?" "Remember how as soon as we got to the camp site, mom would give us each a different color of gatorade and a can of pringles and we'd run around with it while she and dad set up the tent together?"
5. I love to cook-especially desserts-YUM!
6. All of the best decisions I've ever made in my life gave my dad a heart attack when I first told him: 1996 I became a Christian, 2000 I got engaged to Daryn, 2000 I got pregnant, 2002 I got pregnant again, 2004 I adopted a 3 year old orphan-bahaha-sorry, Dad but you know it's true (Note: He later warmed up to the ideas and is a proud grandpa and loves his son in law-jury is still out on the 'taking my religion too seriously' one)
7. I love American History-it totally excites me.

now I am tagging:(my goodness, this is time consuming! I should be doing housework)
