1. I love old musicals... I've watched them so many times I can repeat lines, and for sure sing many of the songs from them. Here are a few I know well, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Hello Dolly, The Sound of Music.... just to name a few. If you ever can't think of a song from one of those, I'm your girl. Just ask.
2. Do ya wanna know how Chris and I met? Country Line Dancing.... Yes, seriously. And that my friends was actually up north! We have very different versions of how we actually met that night....but suffice it to say that he was one good looking guy! (Still is!)
3. I really do not like to cook. Seriously.... I joke that my sister got all the cooking genes in the family. (I do believe she did!) She finds that very relaxing and loves to bake pies etc etc. All I can say to that (would I have to attempt it) is Ick. I am blessed at Thanksgiving as last year everyone came to my house, and my sister and mom did
4. I hate to camp or do any outdoorsy type stuff. My sister and her family go camping pretty often, and I can't even imagine it! Yuck! Mosquitoes and insects of any kind just bring out the slight germaphobe in me. My idea of roughing it is in a hotel. Now, I don't mind driving anywhere and having some kind of adventure exploring new cities or areas...but not somewhere with a dense forest etc etc. I can do it... I'm just not gonna like it much!
5. I'm a night owl too just like Kim. I am soo much more productive at night and my brain is really fresh and awake! I have really pondered why I'm like this... I think God just created me this way. Ever since I can remember I have not been a morning person. I have never felt awake and refreshed if I have to get up at o'dark thirty. Or any time before the actual sun is up! My sister can attest to this as well. I'm a grumpy bear in the morning or I'm just pretty comatose until I've had my coffee. (A LOT of coffee!)
6. I love to remodel our home with my husband. LOVE IT! But we love to do everything mainly by ourselves and on a budget. If there is a way we can re-use building materials or old furniture we will. I have two pieces of furniture that I found at a salvage store. (Well way more than two....but for this purpose I'll describe two of them). One is an old wardrobe that had a skeleton key. It was $50, and I came up with the idea to take DVD and CD racks and install them all along the back of the wardrobe. It now sits in our family room and houses all our dvds and kids games and puzzles. Then I also had an old dresser that I found for $10. The drawers never worked right, and Chris was getting ready to throw it out. I was hesitant as I knew I could find something to use that dresser for. We ended up throwing out the drawers and Chris made shelves for the inside. We added fabric attached with furniture brads all around the outside. That has been used in many ways, as a pretty storage area in our laundry room, to an entrance table to a buffet in the dining room. We also had a great time completely re-doing our former kitchen . Here are some of the photos.... (yes those are the same cabinets, we completely re-used them and made them flat front).
Most everyone I know has been tagged...but if you are reading this and you would like to play along. Post 6 Random Things about Yourself....

What time were you born? There is a theory that if you were born late a night/soon after midnight then you are a night owl. If you are born in the morning or during the day, you are a morning person! I'm a night owl (pre-Andrew) and was born around 2am so it fits for me! :-) The kitchen looks GREAT!
I enjoyed your tag comments. It is so fun to read about other people's interests or dislikes.
Let me just say that your kitchen looks fabulous. Completely amazing transformation.
What an amazing difference in your kitchen. I knew you were creative and talented, but WOW! These tagging posts are fun to read!
I'm still praying for your travel dates!
Your kitchen looks great! I love getting to know everyone and the random things are usually the best!
I hate camping, too. With a passion. When Brianna was in American Heritage Girls, they would have family camping trips. She only went once...and I made Brian go while I stayed home with the younger kids!
And, you know that I, too, am a night owl...4:00 AM last night (um, morning) because I knew I didn't have to get up terribly early and I was loathe to give up that quiet time to do whatever I wanted. Betcha can't guess what that was! lol
Love the kitchen. It looks amazing. I also loved reading your tag comments. Praying for you on the adoption.
Wow! about the kitchen remodel!!
Things like that stress me out so bad. I am glad you enjoy it because you are obviously really good at it!
I love old musicals too! That was one "random fact" I stated too. I could sit and watch them all day long. The kitchen is great!
Kim
