Homecoming

I didn't get any pictures of the football game. What maybe because I don't have anyone at my house who plays on the football team. So this is what homecoming means at the Peterson House. Borrowing 4 fantastic dresses from some really great friends and then spending the week trying them on with different accessories. This was the final choice and I think that she looks fantastic. The only thing that made me a little sad was that I realized that she would probably not get to have before the dance pictures with any of her dates because the boys can't drive over here. So they just meet you at the dance. Sorry Sis.

I've been tagged

So my friend Terrilee has tagged me. That means that I have to write 7 random things about myself. So like my friend Lexi said "I'll see if I can come up with 7 things".
First-I love Italy. Terrilee has said that she hated the first 3 and half years here but now that she has become active in church again and picked up some really awesome friends (Lexi, Nancy, Tabi, and of course me to name a few), she is sorry that her time here is up. We will miss you but I still love Italy. I love the huge windows in my house, looking at the way that people dress here, round abouts, old crumbling down buildings, that I can go to Venice, Italy for a day trip and that my children get to experience it with me.
B-My favorite kind of store is a book store. I love stories. Happy, sad, mysterious, good guys and bad guys, when the girl saves the boy and the other way around. I love to wander through the isles and smell the paper. One of the hardest things about being here is that I don't speak, read or write Italian and guess what. That's the only kind of bookstores they have here. Thats one of the things I look forward to on our visits home.
3-I love to cook but hate to clean up afterwards. So I don't cook as much as I would like to.
quattro-I'm afraid of heights. When Sean and I went to Germany this last summer. We took a tram ride up the side of the really big mountain. I couldn't even look out the window. I laid down on the seat and closed my eyes and thought all of my "I'm going to die any minute" thoughts.
Fifth-Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's not like Christmas where we sometimes get confused on the meaning or Mother's Day that's all about one person or Memorial Day that turns into who's going to the lake and is bringing the boat and skies instead of remembering those that sacrificed for us. I like Thanksgiving because it's about everyone. About being thankful for all that we have and of course there's the food.
F-I love getting a new hair cut but I hate getting my eyebrows waxed even though I have to do both at the same time.
7-My secret wish is to have my husband plan a romantic night out for us to see a concert or play or anything that doesn't include the movie theater. Followed by dinner at a small out of the way place that all the tourist or people that he works with won't be at. Followed up by...I think I'll leave the rest up to him.

So now I'm suppose to tag 7 people but I don't know 7 people who blog that haven't already been tagged to I'll just do the best that I can.
-Peggy
-Becky (because I haven't heard for you in awhile)
-Kayla
-Janet

Good luck!!!
