6 things you may not know about me:

1. I met my husband on my mission. Elder Reed and I were in the same MTC district, but never served together in Uruguay. My Mission President told me in my exit interview that one of the reason's I was there was to meet Elder Reed.

2. I am not an innate extrovert. I am a great wingman, but I hate meeting new people. Someday I want to be like Buddy the Elf and be friends with everyone.

3. If it wasn't so weird I would go to nude beaches. I like swimming in the buff. I have done hiking in the buff, cliff jumping in the buff, and some other stuff. Yep. One day when the world's a more open place.

4. I just signed up to take diving lessons. I am in charge of the girl's diving team also and really know nothing about diving from a diving board so I figure I should learn. I'll let you know when I get hurt.

5. I love to dance. Anytime, any place, almost any music. I LOVE a good dance party!

6. I know he's a freak, but I love Michael Jackson. He is the King of Pop. I have his music videos and CD's. Just in case I ever have the chance to meet him I have memorized some of his dances.

*If you now hate me more after learning more about me, just remember you choose me as a friend. Hugs not drugs!

S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D

WARNING: VULGARITY AND HILARITY ENSURE!!!
This is a true story to illustrate just how ghetto Springfield can be. My co worker's best friend is an intake counselor for the Department of Youth Services (DYS). The other day she received an intake packet and needed to speak with the child and the Mother to verify that all the information was correct and that the child would be provided the services he needed. She noticed that the child's first name is spelled: S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D. She is thinking either this is a really bad joke or whoever did this kid's initial paperwork did not like him. So she speaks with the Mother hoping that she will mention the kid's name. Nothing. She tries to ask questions that would have the Mother mention his name. Nothing. Finally she has to speak with the boy. So she says, "is Shithead there? May I speak with him?" The Mother becomes immediately offended and says, "it's (pronunciation) SH-THEED, but it's still spelled SHITHEAD. Ok I thought maybe their not from this country. No, they're Black. So morale of the story, be grateful for your name. You could have been Shithead.

Brocky's 1st Birthday

I can't believe that Brocky is already one, but that's what the cake said. The Forsberg Fam got together to party (like we need a reason) and celebrate the Brock's first birthday. Admittedly, he was really tired and wasn't that interested in opening gifts. But we had a good time. He got a lot of fun toys and books, some warm pajamas for this winter, and a really fun tent with different tunnels to crawl through. He was having a ball playing hide and go seek in that thing. You could leave him in a padded room all day by himself with his tent and that would not get old. It was Curious George theme and Grandma made "mice cream" for everyone. I did learn however that we will not be having too many party favors when we have kids seeing as Travis likes to blow them in people's faces. Apparently that does not get old either. But that's why I love him. Wish you were here. Happy Birthday Brocky!

The Von Trapp Family Singers

Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. Ok I have no shame in my game. Anyone that knows me well already knows this so I don't feel bad admitting that my favorite movie of all time is The Sound of Music. Probably like the best movie ever made. The Von Trapp Family children were performing at Yankee Candle and my Mom and I went.
It was really fun for a fan like me. Yes, it was over the top cheesy. Yes, they did a Christmas song with animals sounds. But they also did a lot of the music from the movie. The "children" were actually great grandchildren of Kirt. The girls were all wearing Maria's actual performance costumes which is kind of cool. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to a friend. Mom and I had a great time. And to all of you closet fans, so long, farewell auf wiedersehen goodbye.

We Believe 2007!

Thank you all for reminding me that it's time for a new post. If you follow the sports world the past few weeks have been intense for us Red Sox fans. As a result of all the late night games I did indeed get sick, but pumped enough non drowsy tylenol cold and sinus medication through me to stay up for game 4 of the World Series and then called in sick the next day. Awesome! Things I learned while watching this series:
1. I want to be a Red Sox. It's way better than being a rock star.
2. I really don't get Papelbon, but any man that does Riverdance in a kilt has my vote.
3. If we don't resign Lowell we're going to have something to complain about again. If we sign A-rod we're going to have something to complain about again.
4. Jacoby Ellsbury. Love him. Hate made up names. Either Jacob or Toby. Not Jacoby.
5. I want a parade where I get to ride in the Duck Boats.
6. Manny being Manny. Can I use that excuse?
7. Games at midnight are always better with cold Chinese food.
8. Yes, I do think I am a homeplate ump because most of those pitches were outside.
9. Dustin Pedroia is officially my favorite because he's awesome, but Youkilis has the best name to cheer.
10. YANKEES SUCK!

Live from New York!

So Saturday we went to the City with my parents and had a ton of fun. We went to the Museum of Natural History, walked around Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Broadway, etc. Anyways when we walked past the Ed Sullivan Theater there was a sign to enter into a lottery to win free tickets to watch a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman. Big news: WE WON!

We went back down to the Manhattan Monday night and almost walked into P. Diddy on the street. Good thing his security guards were humongous and scary looking. Did not even try to take a picture. Then we ate at Carnegie Deli (delicious) and noticed that they were filming a movie on that block. We were trying to figure out who was in the movie when Terrance Howard was headed in our direction and we figured out we were in his shot. Poop! But it was fun. "Fighting" costars Channing Tatum (for all you Step Up fans.) I once got in big trouble with Travis for calling him "eye candy." That was cool. We then went and watched the taping for Friday night's show. It was freezing in the theater but they really do pump you up when you get in there. I think my hands are bruised from clapping. We saw Amanda Peet, Patrick Warburton (Putty), and the comedian Jeff Caldwell. It was really amazing to watch Letterman in action. He's really spry for an old guy.

After that we wandered around Times Square at night and got some cheesecake- and the new Feist CD which is awesome. All in all one of the most fun nights of my life. Everyone should come visit us and we'll head down there. I love NY.
