I was tagged by abby to share 7 random facts about myself that people my or may not know. 

1. I laugh in my sleep and usually remember my dreams when i wake up... i usually try to recall them and tell them to ricky, but sometimes they are so off the wall and weird/random that Ricky is not always interested in hearing them :) I think he's just jealous b/c he never remembers his dreams ;) . I love dreaming. 

2. I can sew! I love to sew if i get the chance. My seamstress grandma first taught me and my sisters how to sew when we were really little - i still remember her showing me how to knot the end of a needle & thread with my fingers. My mom also taught me and in highschool i took a sewing class. the hardest thing i've sewn is a huge blanket for ricky, my curtains, and some rag dolls :) 

3. I can whistle really well! When I was younger I used to go around the house whistling all day long - along to any music being playing. I would even whistle along to my sisters' practicing their classical piano pieces. I'd know their difficult passages and whistle the melody along while they practiced...i was a strange girl...I really don't whistle much anymore, just when the mood strikes :) 

4. When a song is on the radio, i usually don't sing the melody, i sing the harmony - i just hear it and end up singing it instead - unless i really love the melody and it's in a key I can sing in - otherwise harmony all the way! :) 

5. I'm an animal lover. I used to just like cats, but then when Ricky and I got married, we got a Labrador puppy. I like dogs a lot now. When I was younger, i dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. This dream ended when I was in highschool.... my class went on a field trip to the vet to see a girl dog (cat?? i don't even remember what type of animal it was...) get fixed - I thought the whole surgical process was soooo cool! Right at the end when the vet was stitching the animal, i had to excuse myself out of the room for a break. Outside the room, i vaguely remember leaning my back against the wall and slowly laying on the floor....I fainted! Ah so yeah...maybe all that blood and guts was too much to handle for me. And there went any dream of being a vet, doctor, or nurse... :) 

6.  I've played the violin for 18 years. But when I was a year into it, i almost quit. I told my dad that i didn't want to play the violin anymore, and he told me that I'd have to tell my teacher myself that I didn't want to play anymore.....well I ended up never getting the courage to tell my teacher I wanted to quit, b/c I really did like her and she was a nice teacher and I was scared of what she would say. I know God had other plans for me and looking back, I am so glad I didn't quit. I wouldn't have been able to musically accomplish something so beautiful, as well as learn sooo much confidence and courage through music. Now I'm able to pass my skills on to others :)  Plus music scholarships paid for college! whoohoo :) 

7.  I can do 25 push ups in a row. 

i tag all those who would  care to join the fun :)
