Ok I will admit to being tagged...

I am not the best and following through with being tagged, but I have been tagged by two people now (Chels and Becky) so I figure I should do it. But I am going to make a few small changes. I am going to combine the two tags and I am going to decrease the amount of info I must share. So here it goes-

My 5 Favorite Shows-

1. Heroes (This is what Nate and I watch for Family Night)

2. The Biggest Loser (I would love to be Jillian!)

3. Desperate Housewives (I know I probably shouldn't admit to it but I am hooked)

4. What Not to Wear (We only have bunny ears so I never get to watch it unless it is on when I run on the treadmill. But since I never do that I pretty much never watch it:)).

5.The Today Show


My 5 Favorite Restaurants-


1. Zuppas (I will be a making a trip there when I am home for Christmas)

2. Trostel's Dish (An expensive restaurant I will probably never eat at again)

3. Olive Garden

4. Cosi (lots of good memories!)

5. Grandma Tucker's house:)


5 Things that happened yesterday-

1. Taught a BodyPump class at the gym.

2. Played with my baby girl. We got her laughing so hard yesterday that she was snorting. Quite possibly the cutest thing ever.

3. Braved Wal-Mart (which you should never do on a Saturday afternoon)

4. Helped my friend Nikki make cute aprons (I did more watching than doing)

5. Babysat baby Evan.



5 Things I am looking forward to-


1. December 17th because I get to go home for the holidays! And December 16th....Happy Anniversary to me (and Nate).

2. Next Spring. I am having anxiety about going through another miserable Iowa winter.

3. 2016- The year Nate will finally be done with school and his residency. At least we hope so:).

4. I must have short term memory loss because I am really looking forward to being pregnant again. Don't get too excited because it isn't going to happen anytime soon. At least not on purpose.

5. Owning a home. Due to item #3 I have a feeling this won't happen for a very long time.


5 Things I love about Fall-


1. Walking through the leaves that have fallen on the sidewalk.

2. All the yummy smells (Pumpkin, Apple spice, Cinnamon etc)

3. It isn't Winter

4. The anticipation for the holidays.

5. Seeing the colors of the leaves. Even though it happens every year it still seems so amazing every year.

5 Things on my wish list-


1. A new KitchenAid mixer. Mine just broke.

2. A vacation to somewhere warm and tropical.

3. Money to buy new clothes.

4. A Chi hair straightener.

5. Porcelain doll skin. I am so jealous of those that have smooth beautiful skin. Mine has gotten better since having a baby, but it will never be anything amazing.


5 Random facts about me-

1. I commented earlier about the show "What Not to Wear". I do love watching it but truthfully I want to be on the show. I even looked up the info on-line yesterday about getting on the show. I want one of my friends to nominate me (so feel free anyone that feels so inclined). If you are chosen to be on the show you get an all expense paid trip to NYC and a $5000 shopping spree to improve the wardrobe, hair and make-up. Pretty much a dream come true. To be honest I probaly would be a great candidate. I pretty much never get ready. My closet is full of a lot of ugly clothe. And the clothes I do have don't really fit me that well.

2. I am horrible at multi-tasking. Especially when it comes to being on the computer. Nate will try to talk to me while I am typing and either I completely ignore him or I find myself typing what he is saying. Usually I am ignoring him, but don't realize it until he gets frustrated. It is best I don't have a computer at home all day cause I find it too easy to get sucked into the internet even if I don't really have a reason to be using it.

3. I never finish reading books. I have started so many books but usually get bored about half way through them. And yes this applies to all the Harry Potter books and the Twilight series. I think I made it through a fourth of the first Harry Potter book. I did get through the first Twilight book and half way through the second one (I don't remember the titles), but just couldn't get hooked enough to finish. This pretty much banned me from many conversations as it seemed everyone was comparing themselves to the characters in the book when they first came out. The ironic thing is when asked to list my hobbies I usually put reading as one of them.


4. I am going to learn how to knit. At least I am going to try. There is a lady that comes to the Silver Sneakers class that I teach on Mondays who is going to help me. She made Cambri the cutest sweater that is just now fitting her and I love it!


5. I was homecoming queen in high school. I do realize that many of you already know this. I do not share this to brag because lets be honest it really isn't that cool. Let me say that when I first found out that I had been nominated I was really bummed. This meant that I was going to have to get up in front of the whole school and do a bunch of dumb things to try and win votes. This was unappealing for many reasons. A- I hate being in front of people when I am supposed to make them laugh. I am so not good at this. B- There were a lot of girls in my grade that loathed me. I perferred to not give them anything to make fun of. C-I had already attempted to run for class vice president and lost. I felt like I was going to have to relive that whole situation. Turns out the day of the assembly when I was supposed to get up in front of the whole school and make a fool of myself I was in California with the volleyball team. So one of the guys in my grade put on a wig and pretended to be me. I do remember that the night it was announced that I won someone bent the antenna on my car. Gotta love high school!

And there you have it. A lot of useless information about me. I am tagging all my sister-in-laws because they always say they don't have anything to blog about. And I want to get to know more about you all. The fact that you are a part of the Rencher family I know that you have a lot of fun stuff to share. So Janelle, Jenae, Mindy and Michelle tag you are it. And since i know you probably won't read this I will make sure to put it on your blog that you have been tagged.
