This is Andrea and I've been tagged by my friend Liz. Here are some facts about me that maybe not too many people know.

1. Aaron was my first boyfriend and the only man I've ever kissed. I think it's pretty special that he will be the only one I ever share that special bond with.

2. I am addicted to crime solving shows. I love to solve puzzles and try to figure out who the criminal is before the show. Aaron says all the shows and doesn't understand why I watch them, but I could watch them all day. (Sometimes I have when I am working on the computer and have it running in the background)

3. If I didn't have to worry about working and do anything I wanted I would love to be an artist. I'm not very good but I love creating things from scratch and being impressed with my final results. I love to draw, for my dad's birthday this year I did a colored pencil drawing of my dad and my grandpa right before my grandpa passes away. It was very emotional doing it, but I love the way it turned out and I think my dad did too. I just wish I had more time to do it.

4. I don't really enjoy cooking except for the Holidays. I go crazy for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner. I feel such a sense of accomplishment when I've finished and all the food is completed at the same time. I bake a ton of cookies for Christmas and then give them away to family since there is no way Aaron and I can eat them ourselves. Then after the holidays I hardly cook. Luckily Aaron really enjoys cooking and takes over.

5. I enjoy traveling. I've never been anywhere outside of North America, tip of South America. Before I die I want to go to Egypt to see the pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Ma Hal, the czars' palaces of Russia, Auschwitz, Italy, France, England and do a Bavarian Christmas. I love architecture and history. There is so much history over on the other side of the world and I would love to experience it all.

6. I am very particular at having my house cleaned. My house isn't always clean, but I like to clean things my own way. I have a hard time letting other people cleaning my house. Aaron hired a maid to clean our house last year right before Thanksgiving since we had 25 people coming over for the big day. I had to leave the house because I had a hard time letting someone else do my job. I really don't even like it when Aaron chips in and does dishes. He just doesn't follow the same process I have. I love him for helping though.

7. My middle name is a family tradition. It's been passes on for 3 generations as a middle name and started as a great grandmother's first name.

I don't know if that's very interesting, but that's some more info on me.
