Emily made me do it! I guess the object of the game is to post eight random facts about yourself and then "tag" other people who have blogs, thus making them post about themselves. Since this is the Haynor family blog, I'll try to post a few facts about Craig, the bean sprout, and the cats as well. ;o)

1.) I went to Australia for three weeks at the tender age of 14 with a student group called People to People. I can't believe my parents let me go to the other side of the planet with a bunch of lunatic middle schoolers and only three chaperones, but I'm glad they did...it was an awesome experience.

2.) The first meal Craig ever cooked for me was salmon with Old Bay seasoning, bow tie pasta with tomato pesto, and broccoli. He had no furniture in his apartment so we ate it sitting in the middle of the living room. He even put on some classical music. :o)

3.) We made the decision to have kids last August, when we were trying to figure out what to do with our spare room. It was a guest room and Craig wanted to make it nicer, I said we should just leave it for future offspring, he asked when that would be, and then we started negotiating a time to have kids (he wanted sooner, I wanted later). Finally we said the heck with it, we'd just start immediately.

4.) I hate open doors. There's nothing symbolic there, I mean it very literally. I can't stand being in a room that has the doors open. Even open drawers and cabinets bother me. I can't go to sleep at night unless the bedroom door, closet door, and bathroom door are all closed. Can't teach if there are doors open in my classroom, either.

5.) We got our first cat, Jack, because one of my students found him wandering in the street when he was 4 1/2 weeks old. We got our second cat, Toby, when we went into a pet store to get food for the first cat..he was so sweet I couldn't resist! Plus, Jack was cranky since we were always working and he needed a friend.

6.) I got in trouble at church as a child for dropping little ripped up pieces of paper off of the balcony and onto the people below. Craig got in trouble at a hotel as a child for throwing hot dogs out the window at people.

7.) Craig and I got married two times...our actual wedding was July 12th in Illinois but because we were living in Florida at the time and didn't want to deal with the IL marriage license/paperwork, we just went down to the courthouse in FL on June 30th and got legally married.

8.) We have chosen names for the bean sprout! We'll probably tell people shortly after finding out the gender. (If you are one of the few people I've run the name by already, please don't say anything....)


There you go. Eight facts. And since I only know one other person with a blog (that knows about mine)....Ando, consider yourself tagged. ;o)
