I have been tagged for a meme!

This is something new to me! Sarah at www.wakingsophie.blogspot.com, one of my FIAR friends, tagged me to do a "meme".

The rules are: You have to link the tagger, list the rules, share 7 weird tidbits about yourself, and tag 7 other bloggers. So here goes:

7 weird things about myself:

1--I have never been out of my timezone (Eastern) and until this past May, I had never been on an airplane.

2--I tried very hard to learn to knit a couple of years ago, but I failed miserably. Just ask my friend Kindra who tried to teach me. LOL!

3--I have no idea how to work an ipod, a Wii, or a nintendo ds. I probably couldn't even tell them apart if I tried.

4--I have the coolest tattoo. Ok, that may not be really weird, but I had to throw that in there!

5--I have an irrational fear of spiders. If I see one in my house, and Patrick isn't home, I have to ask my 7 year old to come get it. Stop laughing!!

6--I love old buildings and history. I get a weird, spiritual feeling when I am in a historical place like a building or a battlefield.

7--I practice extended breastfeeding, love our family bed, homeschool my kids, and absolutely adore my husband. May not sound weird to some of you, but most of my family thinks I am nuts!! HeeHee!!

Letters to my daughters:

I am feeling sentimental...

Anna, 
To my independent, strong willed, no-nonsense daughter.  You amaze me every day as I watch you grow.  I am in awe of your spunk, your zest for life, and your love for all creatures great and small.  Our late night talks and early morning snuggles are some of my greatest moments.  Thank you for making me a mommy.  I love you more than the sun shines.

Emma,
To my love bug.  How can anyone be in your presence and not smile??  You always have a song in your heart and a dance in your step.  I have never met a more loving child.  Your life is a joy to watch and a treasure to my heart.  Thank you for always being quick to forgive and forget.  You have taught me so much.  I love you more than the stars twinkle.

Cora,
To my baby.  You keep me on my toes.  I watch you follow your sisters and then make your own path.  You see something you want and go for it.  I hope you never stop doing that.  You don't know it now, but when you were born, a hole in my heart was filled.  Thank you for being my cuddly baby.  I love you more than the moon glows.
