Tag, I'm It!

I was tagged, so here we go...

Rules of this Tag

1. Answer the questions about the list of friends and/or family on your blog.

2. If you don’t have the # of names that the question asks, answer the question about the next name that you have not had a question for on your list.

3. Tag your friends/ family.

When did you first meet the 1st person on your list? Well, the first person on my list is actually people: all my Allred family. I met most of them when Phil and I started dating almost 12 years ago, and I love having a family blog with them. It's so great to be more connected and hear more of what's going on in their lives. And they're all to blame for making me get into and love blogging!

What do you like about the third person on your list's blog? Amy O. is amazing! I don't think there's anything about her not to like--she's so friendly and open, and fun to be around. I could go on and on...but I'll end by copying what Charlene said: Amy is beautiful inside and out! I think that perfectly describes her.

What do you like best about the 5th and 6th people on your list? I'm excited to get to know Charlene more now that I'm her visiting teacher, but I already would have a hard time picking what I like best about her. She's great in every way and after only one visit to her house, I totally envy her house-decorating skills. Her house is BEAUTIFUL! But that shouldn't suprise me since she always looks great and everything she does at church is amazing, too. And Cherrisse is hilarious! I have loved reading her blog and laughing out loud at her great posts.

How long have you known the 8th person on your list? Just a few years since she married my cousin Brent. They don't live close, but it's fun to get to know them through blogging and see pictures of their cute new baby.

What impresses you about the 11th and 22nd people on your list? Lisa impresses me with her ability to still be fun and adventurous even with four kids! And when she took care of my kids, too, and had EIGHT she still went out and had more fun with the kids than I ever do with just my four. She's so fun to be around! And that goes for the rest of you on my list. You all amaze me with your mothering skills and I love reading everyone's blogs and seeing how we all deal with crazy daily life. Does that count for the 22nd person? I say it does =)

What is a memory you have with the 23rd person on your list? I'll pick Nicole. There's so many to choose from, but one of my favorites was canning apple pie filling at her house one fall. I just remember having a great time working together and enjoying visiting while we slaved away all day and our kids played out back. I canned by myself this year, and I totally missed having a good friend to work with.

Say something nice about the 27th person on your list. Well, I obviously don't have 27 people on my list, so I'll say something nice about Kandice, even though she tagged me =). She is so organized and artistic. I loved listening to her RS lessons (yes, I know that was forever ago), because she was so great at teaching the concept and getting everyone discussing.

Well, I'm going to tag Lisa, and Nicole, and anyone else who wants/needs an idea for a new post!
