I've Been Tagged

There's a new game going around on the internet - blog tag. I've been tagged by Teddi who is the principal photographer of Picture the Day and I'm supposed to list "8 fun facts" about myself and then tag 8 other photographers. Here goes nothing!

1. My husband and I met at Home Depot where I went shopping for a toilet and a bathroom sink. We flirted in the toilet aisle for over 2 hours. Yes, a Home Depot wedding was considered for about 1.5 seconds after he popped the question. Thankfully we got married in Hawaii instead.

2. I actually graduated from high school when I was 17. My Dad gave me this ultimatum "when you live under my house, you'll follow my rules" which only lit a fire under my behind to move out of the house - It took me 3 months to finish school. I guess it proved 2 things - when you put your mind to it, you can do anything AND give me the opportunity to REBEL and I will gladly take it.

3. I hate flying, which is hilarious because I lived in Hawaii for more than half my life and if I ever wanted to go ANYWHERE, I had to fly. It's especially funny now that I moved to Austin and all of my weddings are located in Colorado - so I fly practically every weekend during wedding season (or at least every 2 weeks). I still can't get used to it. It's only the take off that I don't like - which everyone thinks is the best part!

4. Okay, this will date me but who cares? Here is a small list of the concerts that I've been to in my life: LoverBoy, BonJovi, Molly Hatchet, ZZ Top, Jefferson Starship, INXS, George Michael, Van Halen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, The Rollins Band, Mud Honey, Helmet, Sting, Coldplay, Crystal Method - just to name a few.

5. I have a sister and 2 step brothers, we are extremely close!

6. I could eat at Chipotle every day - this is what I usually have - Chicken Bowl - light rice, black beans, chicken, pico, sour cream, light cheese and lettuce. I eat half and take home the rest.

7. One of the most adventurous things I've done is swim with wild dolphins in the open ocean. It was one of the best weeks of my life.

8. When I lived in Hawaii, I was a banquet manager for years. To this day, when I arrive at a wedding, I can't help but notice if there is a cake knife and plate on the cake table. More often than not, there isn't!
