I have been tagged by Amber!  Today in my blog I will type about 10 facts about me.  They could be weird, random, habits of mine, or goals that I have.  Then at the end I'll choose 5 other people to tag to continue this on.  I will comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged saying "Tag...You're It!"  and let them know to read my blog.  But you can't tag the person that tagged you.  So let's get this started....

1.  I am fascinated by natural disasters especially tornadoes.  I love watching shows and movies about them.  But I've never actually seen a tornado in real life though.  Sometimes I want to....as long as I'm not in danger. 

2.  I love the smell of something burning....especially wood.  Just the other day my husband and I were on the road and I could smell something burning.  Not much further down the road...there was some wood burning of old trees in a pile.  I also like the smell of crayons!!!    

3.  The first concert I ever went to was Billy Ray Cyrus.  My best friend and I loved him!  We really liked his song, "Achy, Breaky Heart."  Now when I hear that I cringe....I think his songs are awful now!!  I have only went to 2 other concerts and both were the Backstreet  Boys.                

4.  I have 5 dogs: Molly the golden retriever, Buddy the pit bull, Tazar and Zoey the Italian mastiffs, and Rudy the mutt (we believe he's a mix between a chow, German Shepherd and something else).  I also have 2 hermit crabs (they aren't named) and 4 fish (they also aren't named).                                                                                                        

5.  My husband and I have the same initials.  Our first and middle names are almost identical.  I was born on a Thursday and he was born on a Friday.  I was born at 5:25 p.m. eastern time and he was born on 5:26 p.m. mountain time.  We have known each other since the 2nd grade!                                                                                                           

6.  I LOVE to read!!!!  I have probably close to a thousand books.  I read at least one book a week just about.  My favorite authors right now are Lori Wick and Karen Kingsbury.  They are both Christian Fiction authors.  I will read just about anything though...as long as it sounds good!                                                                                                            

7.  I want to visit every state in the United States for a month or so (depending on how much stuff there is to do in each state) before I die.  So far I've visited to NC (of course since that's where I've lived my whole life!), SC, FL, VA, Washington, DC, WV, PA, NY, IN, IL, KY, TN, MO, TX, OK, CO, NM, AZ, UT and NV.  Most of these states we only did a couple of things while we were there so there's plenty more to do in each state except NC since I think I've done just about everything here. 

8.  I am afraid of ants.  I know you are probably wondering why ants?  The reason is that one time my mama was about to iron a shirt or something one morning before I went to school and she turned on the iron and all of these ants started coming out of it!  I know there were like a million ants in that iron.  The weirdest thing is that she had just used the iron the night before.  Also, one time I had this black purse and I had left a sucker in there and forgot about it.  One day I looked over at the purse hanging on the door handle and the zipper on the purse was moving because there were so many ants on there.  So that's why I'm somewhat afraid of ants...well I guess I'm not afraid of them but I hate them with a passion!  Oh yeah...if you ever kill an ant with your finger and you smell your finger afterwards it always smells like bug spray....I don't know why.                                                                                      

9.  My husband and I have already picked out our kids names and we haven't even started trying yet.  We actually picked the names out before we even got married.  We both want 3 kids.  So we picked 3 boy names and 3 girl names.                                                                                                      

10.  I love COLOR!  Even the apartment my husband and I live in we chose different colors for every room.  Our kitchen is a pale orange, living room is a pale yellow, bedroom is pale blue, master bathroom is a darker blue, office/spare bedroom is pale green and the guest bathroom is pink! 

Now...the people I choose to tag is:  Whitney, Jen, Rebecca, Liz, and Tracy.  Let me know when ya'll post so I can read what you put!
