Well, you all are quite familiar i'm sure of Tara's infatuation with her birthday and how it basically lasts almost two months. Well, she has insisted that I write a little post to commemorate her birthday. So me being the loving husband that I am will oblige. But first, a few pics from her birthday party.
Poor little Mya, she has no idea what she's getting into by being born into this family. This is just a little taste as to what it's like to live with Tara.
You may all remember that she posted a little
questionnaire for me on my birthday last year, so I thought it would be a good idea to copy her idea and post one for her. I think it's time you all got to know her a little better.
1. How old are you now? 24, according to the candles (no, they are not saying 42!)
2. What is your favorite food? Um, I'd still have to say spaghetti. I also love a good bowl of stew or soup with artesian bread to accompany it.
3. What's the craziest (PG rated) thing you've ever done? Maybe I'd have to say... wow, how to choose? Um, probably jumping off a 65 foot bridge that I'm sure cracked my tailbone when I hit the water.
4. What would your dream vacation be? A food/history tour of Italy. Or maybe a food/hiking trip of New England.
5. If you could choose anywhere to live for a year, where would it be? Italy, Norway, Denmark, or Austrailia. Probably I would choose about 2 or 3 years for those places though.
6. What do you want to be when you grow up (or at least when kids don't require your constant presence)? I want to have a pumpkin farm, with a patch that kids can come pick their own pumpkins, a corn maze and a farmers market. That's for the fall season. Then I'd want a Christmas tree farm where people come chop their own too. And maybe I'd want to be a Dr. on top of that. Maybe own some horses and a place for people to bored their horses, with an arena...
7. Who is your favorite person in the whole world? This is definitely loaded. Good thing I don't need to think about this one, but it's my dearest husband.
8. Who is your hero(s)? Steve Jobs. Just kidding. My mom- she isn't afraid to do totally new things and be good at them. My dad because he always talks positively about my mom. Entrepreneur bloggers amaze me too. Randy amazes me with his patience, except in the middle of the night when he's asleep, he's pretty grumpy then.
9. What did you use to do for summer jobs? Well, first I worked at shopko, then at a fish cannery in Alaska, then at a ranch/resort in southern Utah bordering Zion National Park, then I was a CNA at a nursing home and also worked at the Olive Garden.
10. What is one goal you have for this next year? Become fit and run another 1/2 marathon.
11. What excites you? The holidays. Doing family activities.
12. If you were an animal what would you be? I don't really go around thinking about what kind of animal I'd like to be. Maybe a gazelle. Since they're graceful, free, and run fast.
13. What is your favorite movie? White Christmas.
14. What is your favorite quote? Right now it is: "Why not?"
15. What is your favorite hobby? Crafting in general makes me happy. And reading, and playing sports and winning. Oh, and making good food. Sorry, I'm not the kind of person who can choose just one thing.
16. What has been your greatest adventure? Marriage. Not even kidding. This includes everything that came with our marriage- children, Oklahoma, school, just the relationship part... Now, You CAN'T post this until you put at LEAST one normal picture of me on here, Randy.
Ok, here's a pic of the Tara that you all know and love.
Well that's a few things about Tara that you may not have known. One thing I have learned from being married to Tara is that I just always need to expect the unexpected with her. She always amazes me with her many talents and I know I take them for granted way to often. I am very lucky to be able to call her my wife. I love you Tara! Happy birthday (month)!
