6 things about me

My friend Kelly tagged me in the Kreativ Blogger award to write 6 "interesting" things about me...here it goes...

1. Music has been a part of my whole life -- I wanted to be like my big sis who played Suzuki violin, so I started when I was 3 1/2 or 4 (I always forget when exactly it was). When I was 12, I decided that I wanted to drop violin lessons and pick up the viola. When I was in HS, I was in the choir, the Dayspring chorale, the HS orchestra, and the Grand Rapids Youth Symphony. When I was in college, I majored in viola performance, and took violin lessons in addition to viola lessons my senior year. I play guitar, I love singing, and I love playing the piano. It's a stress reliever for me. I play the piano a lot. I sing when I am by myself at the house...is that weird? haha.

2. Moving around has also been a big part of my whole life -- I was born in Lansing, Michigan. Then we moved to Whitinsville, MA. I don't remember living in MI (the 1st time). Then we moved to Cary, NC. After that, we moved to Grand Rapids (Ada/Cannonsburg), MI. Then we moved to Bardstown, KY and then back to Michigan to Rockford, MI. We moved to Grand Rapids, MI (only 15 mins away) and then I went to college. The summer before college, my dad transfered jobs to Keane, NH -- I only was "home" for maybe 3 times before they moved back to Grand Rapids, MI. Then to Naperville, IL. And then I moved with Madison to MS!

3. As a child, I had an outtie...so pictures when I'm wearing a thin shirt look awkward when I was little...and it's embarrassing! (I had to put something silly!)

4. I am older than Madison - I tease him about it but we're only 3 months apart so it doesn't really count...

5. Madison & I have a "band" on Rock Band 1 (wii video game)...we have fun playing that on weekends sometimes when he isn't completely swamped with law school stuff (which is not that often). He plays drums and I play guitar, and sometimes when people are over, they play guitar and I sing. We love jamming w/ guitar & fiddle together and do it quite often. Madison has a good voice but won't admit to it. We are nerds but that's okay with me :)

6. Even though I may seem really social, I actually don't like getting out and doing things. Once I do get out and do things, I'm happy I did and wouldn't trade it for sitting at home...but sometimes it takes a lot of willpower to get myself out and about. Sometimes I can be a little anti social (gasp!) and I do enjoy a bit of time at home. I get nervous before I go to a party or an event, but people say they don't notice...it's weird! I love being with people, don't get me wrong...I can just be a little nervous at first! It takes a while for me to open up, but then once I do, obviously I'm pretty social haha.
