7 things about growing up

The adorable Leah, over at The Rife Observatory, tagged me for this fun little post. How fitting since I shared one childhood memory yesterday! So here it is, seven things about growing up. And because I love pictures, here's one of me, an ode to my old pink huffy. This was my first day of kindergarten :)

1. When I was four, only a few days after my twin sisters were brought home from the hospital, the neighbor kid threw a brick over the fence and it hit me in the back of the head. I got to ride in an ambulance with my dad and get stitches. My poor mother.
2. We lived with my Mom-mom (grandma) until I was five, and when I was ten, she came to live in our house.
3. I was obsessed with unicorns up until about age 11. Ha! I'm talking a collection of figurines, purple unicorn comforter, matching curtains, the whole shebang.
4. Not only unicorns, I also collected stamps, rocks, stickers, you name it. I was a professional collector.
5. I used to be a dancer, tap and ballet. You would never know this if you saw me on the dance floor these days. The lord did not bless me with much rhythm.
6. Spelling was always my favorite subject in school.
7. My BF Lindsey lived one house down the road, and we'd play together every day. She had super long bright red hair and her mom would always make us mac & cheese. Recently I reconnected with her via facebook {the joys of modern technology!} She looks exactly the same as she did back in the day...and mac & cheese still ranks as one of my favorites! 

Hope you enjoyed this. I'm going to tag these bloggers: Faith, {av}, Jillian, Christine, Ashley, Mrs. Ruby, and Natasha. Play along if you'd like and share some memories!

Tomorrow is Friday!!
