I was tagged by Trisha & here are the rules...
Here are the rules:
**Link the person who tagged you
**Mention the rules of this tag on your blog
**Tell about 6 quirks of yours
**Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same

1. One word PJ's - I "luv" to wear them! I immediately put them on after I get home from work OR if I am going to be home during the day for more than a 30 minute stretch...I can't help it & I am truly not comfortable unless I am in them. In fact (and the Brown Family can vouch for this), I like to have a pajama day every now and then (for those of you who are not familiar with this ritual, that means I don't get out of my pajamas at all during the day) - you might even see me at the grocery store (or Wendy's) in them - not to worry though, I reserve my "nice" pj's for this occasion!

2. I could survive on Turkey sandwiches (from Subway), a loaf of wheat bread and yogurt. I kid-you-not! If it wasn't for Cory I would eat any combination of that for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

3. I don't like staying by myself (probably not a big surprise). Last week was the first time since Cory and I have been married that I made it through the night all alone (with Maggie & Luca to scare away any intruders). I did, however, have to sleep with the hall light and all the outside lights on - I blame all the scary movies I watched as a "youngin" & the scary books I insist on reading now.

4. I am a hypochondriac (I'm sure you all know this by now). I can no longer watch ER or read any article or book having to do with a terminal illness. I won't go into too much detail on this one - but I will say this...I have my doctor on speed dial.

5. I can't leave Luca home alone while we go on vacation...even for the weekend. I know that cats can stay by themselves - but, I'm afraid that she will get lonely & I don't want her to feel bad that I took Maggie (my dog) and not her...don't ask Cory about it...he gets very angry regarding this subject.

6. Car rattles - any noise/rattle in my car (or someone else's car) drives me CRAZY - it's like nails on a chalk board. I drive Cory crazy with this one, because while I am driving I make him try and find them so I can fix them...it makes driving very very stressful.

Okay, so that wasn't so bad!!! I have many many more "quirks", but at this time I choose to keep the rest to myself!!! I tag Rachel, Krystal, Missy, Shai, Mandy and Kara...good luck ladies!

The BIG Apple

At the end of last year my parents decided to take a trip to New York...and lucky us, we got to tag along (thanks Mom & Dad)!!! I had never been to New York, so I didn't know quite what to expect...we went to...

Time Square

Little Italy

The Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Empire State Building (not quite the Sleepless in Seattle experience I had hoped for)

Trump International (and we searched for "The Donald"...but never saw him)

Walked through Central Park (famous bridge from You've Got Mail & Enchanted)

Checked out Tiffany & Co. (although I didn't buy anything - sigh...I know, so disappointing, right?!)

And, my favorite part...we checked out the Today Show - where I got my picture taken with Matt (we're now on a first name basis!!!)...

and Al

and had anyone been up early on Thursday and watched the show, you would have seen us waving like idiots for the camera!!!

Those are a few of the "highlights" from our trip...it was a fabulous trip - but I have to admit I was very EXCITED to get out of the city and back to Idaho...where the air is clean (minus Simplot) and I don't have to walk down the street shoulder-to-shoulder with a million other people...even Driggs was looking pretty nice!!!

Tag...I'm It!!!

3 Joys:
1. I guess you could say Cory is a joy??? (that's still debatable);
2. Maggie and Luca (sad, sad, sad...but true);
3. FAMILY & FRIENDS

3 Fears:
1. Being cold (question...why am I moving to Driggs???);
2. Not living life to it's fullest;
3. Having to speak in front of a LARGE group of people.

3 Current Obsessions/Collections:
1. Sewing is my current obsession...which would bring me to my current collection - FABRIC;
2. Reading - I will read pretty much anything...but I really like Jody Piccoult, the Twilight Series, and any good murder mystery (I should probably quit reading those, since Cory will now be traveling for work);
3. Blogging...but mostly just reading blogs!

3 Surprising Facts:
1. I am a closet hypochondriac...actually most of you probably already know that;
2. I fully support having pajama days (notice that's plural);
3. I LOVE most of the shows on the CW (WB)...One Tree Hill & the new 90210 are fantastic!!!--I also love most reality TV shows...my favorite is probably The Girls Next Door (no complaints from Cory on that one)!!!

Okay, now it's my turn---I tag: Mandy, Shai, Rachel, Krystal and Missy!!!
Rules: list 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts and then tag 5 other people. GOOD LUCK!!!

Movin' On Up...Literally...

...at least North that is . It's official as of September 1, 2008...

Cory will be an employee of Sysco Foods and the Hunt Family will be residents of Driggs, Idaho! I don't know quite what to think - it has all happened soooooooo fast...and as many of you know this move was NOT planned...since in April we finished our house and have barely moved in...I still don't have all of my decorations up (I guess that's a good thing...less to re-pack). Anyway, it will be exciting to say the least!!!...and Congrats to Cory on his new career!

It's a GIRL...

...we have added a new member to our family - Luca - isn't she the cutest???!!!

We found her abandoned in our neighbors window well on Sunday afternoon...and being the "softie" that I am...I couldn't turn her away. I took her to the vet yesterday and got her all her shots...found out she weighs a hardy 1.3lbs...and now she's ours!!! I can't say that Maggie is "thrilled" with the new addition...

...and I didn't think I would ever be a "cat person"...but I have to say...
...this one is pretty cute...and extremely intelligent...at 5 weeks old she's already potty trained herself...so, I guess I am a cat person after all!!!
