I was tagged...

Ok so my dear friend Katie Higbee tagged me and so I feel obligated to respond :)

8 RANDOM things about Katie Leigh Athens

*First, I finally started to feel the baby moving this weekend! It's so awesome and it makes me so happy every time. I don't know what "the jellybean" is doing in there but it's active! YAY! 4 more long days before we get to see it and find out!!!
*I believe most people know this but...I LOVE PICKLES! I could eat at least one everyday forever and I would love it! Of course I do have to add that I only LOVE Claussen pickles(yes, honey, the snooty ones in the refrigerated section). They are so crunchy and tasty. yum.
*I also LOVE country music. I was born in Texas and that's where it all began but especially after getting home from my mission I really just fell in love with it again. My first concert was after all Reba!
*I have no real talents. I can't draw, sing(yikes), dance, play any instrument, and I definitely don't do sports! I have people skills right??? :)
* When I was little I only had to be rushed to the hospital 3 times. If you know my family or read my mom's blog you'll see what a good record I have compared to my siblings! Once was for being bitten by a snake that luckily ended up only being a garter snake. (lucky b/c we had to wait for over 2 hrs to be seen and had it been poisonous, well, you get the point!) Next time was around Halloween when i was 4-5. My aunt let me carve a pumpkin and I cut my hand open. The last time was when I decided to drink a whole bottle of Dimetapp. :)
*I hate beyond all words the sound of teeth scraping on a fork. UGH! It gives me the goosebumps.
*I'm an avid reader. I love to read, doesn't matter what except books that are super scary. I get nightmares. If I had the time and no other responsibilities I would read day in and day out. I get this from my mom, she loves to read as well.
*This is random and I can't actually believe that it's true, unfortunately for you reading this it's not some deep, dark secret...it's my job. I'm a College Savings Consultant and a stock and mutual fund trader. This is random because it's most definitely not my passion and not a job I want forever. I love the medical field and hope someday to employed within it.
I guess that's all for now. Andy should be posting sometime soon.

Okay, so the pickle thing made me laugh, because I remember we used to go buy pickles and chocolate milk and laugh at the weird craving. Seems pretty appropriate now that you are pregnant, don't you think?? I miss you girl! Oh, and the teeth/fork thing--totally agree. I got goosebumps reading about it. ha ha.
