TAG----I'M IT!!!

Heather, my sister-in-law at The Chronicles of Motherhood tagged me. (by the way, you should check out her blog!)

So, here it goes:

Jobs I have had:
1. Figure Skating Coach
2. Piano Teacher (still am)
3. Aerobics instuctor (wish I still was)
4. Dental Hygienist (Loved it, but needed/wanted to retire to be a stay-at-home mom)
5. Mom (BEST job in the world!!)

Places I have lived:
My parents house, a dorm room, an apartment, and now our house!
Oh, you mean what city do I live it?? I can not reveal that, for then you all will REALLY think I am a hillbilly--ha,ha.

TV shows I like to watch:
This is hard for me to answer being that I hardly ever watch TV, and when I do, I usually get so mad at the garbage that is on there, I want to throw my TV in the trash (which would probably be a good idea!) Anyway, I do have two shows I like to watch, and that is The Biggest Loser and Survivor. (On the occassion that I do sit down to watch TV, I enjoy HGTV and the Food Network )

Places I have been:
1. Cancun
2. Almost all 50 states (I LOVE Hawaii)
3. England
4. Switzerland (2x)
5. Holland/Netherlands
6. Italy
7. France
8.Germany
9. Austria

Favorite Foods:
Anything homemade. (especially if I don't have to make it--it always tastes better when someone else makes it)
Chcocolate and almost any type of homemade dessert
My mom's lasagna, peanut buster parfait dessert (oh yeah, this dessert is to die for!!), and her oh so yummy popovers
My mother-in-law's beef stew
My sister-in-law's steak and dumplings

Books I have especially appreciated lately:
1. The Bible, of course. Seems like even though I have read it many, many times, God always brings something new to light.
2. A Woman After God's Own Heart
3. Created to be His Help Meet (yes, the title is actually Help Meet, not Help Mate--it explains it in the book)
4. Raising Children that Adore God--Instilling a Lifelong Passion to Worship


Things I enjoy:
1. Being with family--Love, love, love my family!!
2. Laughing with Bob and Tayva
3. Getting a massage
4. Eating food (especailly desserts and bread) fresh from the oven
5. Learning how to be a better wife and mother
6. Family--oh wait, did I already mention that??


I tag Emily at Macaroni and Cheese

Only one remark about the countries you have visited: I hope Spain will be among the 20 first countries you visit (just...kidding). When Rafa and I move to a bigger house (now we live in an apartment)in Madrid, we would like you to visit us and stay at home.

Of course when I say "you" I mean you, Bob and Tayva. I enjoy a lot the pictures of her.
