1. Some family traditions that I grew up with that I am continuing with my own family are summer strawberry picking and jam making, playing the Statler Brothers Christmas CDs at Christmas time, and making chocolate chip cookies and letting my kids eat the dough, but I let them eat WAY more than my mom EVER did.
2. Aaron and I first saw each other at Wal-Mart. About a year later, he came through my checkout and asked me out. We even worked together there for a little while.
3. My first car was a brand new tan 1996 Chevy Cavalier. After getting my license on my birthday and having a family party at our "house" (we were living in a trailer home while our other house was being built), my parents took me up to our new house and had my new car sitting in the garage with a big red bow on top. It is the kind of car I used while in behind-the-wheel, so I felt very comfortable driving it.
4. Aaron and I honeymooned in Chicago about 3 months after our wedding. We were in college and for Spring Break Aaron planned a surprise trip to Chicago for us for a few days. I had no idea we were going. We stayed at my parents' house the night before (I thought he was assembling a headboard for our bed). My sister packed for me and helped him pick out a dress for me. We got in the car to go to church and he kept on driving. We went to the Amtrak Station and he had everything ready to go. He even had a typed out itinerary with certain things crossed out for me to only have a vague idea of what was going on. It was amazing! And, we did it on the cheap. We used our student ids to get into places for reduced prices, and we walked as much as we could instead of using a taxi. We even walked all the way back to the train station with all our luggage (what a haul!), but now we have a story to tell. Our favorite part was probably all the different foods we tried while there.
5. Aaron and I were going to get married on Jan. 1 of 2000, but in fear of the Y2K bug turning off all the electricity around the nation, we opted for the night before ... just to be safe! Funny to think about that now.
6. I love being a part of the delivery of a baby. I insisted on being part of the birth of sister's first born. I was amazed! I didn't feel so much that way about Ethan's delivery. But, I do look back at Emmett's and have positive feelings about it. (I even had it video-taped and I have watched it a handful of times). Sometimes when I think about wanting to have another child or not, I think about the awesomeness of going through another delivery. When my sister had her baby girl and when other people who aren't even close to me have their babies I feel like I missed out on something because I wasn't there in the delivery room. I can't really explain it. I just LOVE it!

Okay, I am such a new blogger and all my friends and family live close to me that I don't even have 6 people to tag. The only other blogger I know is Sue, so I will tag her! I'll tag Jessica, too, so that maybe she'll get into blogging again!
