I've Been Tagged!

So here goes -- I've been tagged by Janeen!

1. I grew up in a VERY small town -- no stoplights, no Wal-Mart, no chain restaurants, etc. In fact, the closest McD's was 30 miles away. Living in a small town meant I also went to a small school. I actually attended the same school for my entire K-12 education. It was a county school that all three towns went to. I had about 70 people in my graduating class which meant that not only did I know everyone in my grade, but also almost everyone in the high school! (BTW - I now live in that town that has the McD's!!!)


2. I have a much younger brother and sister, even though my mom and step-dad have been married since I was 4. I was a freshman in high school when my brother was born and a senior when my sister came along. So I knew a few things about babies before Drew. I actually got in a lot of practice washing bottles and stain sticking clothes!


3. I have a bachelors and masters degree in accounting and actually chose "accounting" as want I wanted to do when I was a freshman in high school because one of the "cool seniors" I knew was going into accounting. Who would have ever thought it would have stuck?
   
4. After graduating from college, me and my best friend (since 3rd grade) moved to St. Louis and lived right down town by the Arch. Isn't that something best friends always talk about doing? Well, we actually did it!! I worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is the worlds biggest accounting firm. I did tax consulting projects and got to travel all over the United States! It was a fun 3+ years, but I knew it wasn't something I wanted to do forever.
   
5. I'm left handed (as is Jon's mom and my aunt). I'm secretly hoping that Drew is left handed too and that maybe he'll be the next big league left handed pitcher!!!


6. Jon and I met during the summer of 2000 and were "just friends" until we started dating in early 2001. I had already accepted my job in St. Louis and started working there in September 2001. The whole time I lived there, he would either drive up to StL to visit me on weekends, or I would come back home. He proposed to me in August 2004 and I moved back to my mom and step-dad's in December 2004, and then we were married in May 2005. So, this proves that you can make a long distance relationship work!!
   
7. I'm a super picky eater. I've never drank iced tea, I've never eaten a tomato (unless spaghetti sauce counts), I like my sandwiches plain (Subway loves me!), I never had a salad until college, and the only thing other than meat that I like on my pizza is mushrooms! I will say that I've gotten better at trying things though...

I'm suppose to tag 7 others, but after taking out all the bloggers Janeen picked, and all the people they have tagged, I don't think I can come up with that many, so I'm tagging anyone that reads this that wants to play along!!

As a side note, I wrote this post week, but am just now getting around to posting it and I noticed that Heather and I have a couple of things in common!! (Oh, and Heather, I don't write all wierd either so that makes two of us!!)
