Yeah, me too.

25 Random Things
I got this from a Facebook friend, and thought it more appropriate to post here instead.
1. I HATE cheese. Makes me gag. Especially white cheese. So, yes, I take it OFF of pizza.
2. I have exactly 20 cousins, not including cousin-in-laws.
3. I firmly believe that if fruit is involved, the dish is NOT considered dessert. Dessert involves chocolate!
4. I'm part Jewish. Really.
5. I've been held up at gunpoint.
6. I once hit a parked car, then hit 5 more while trying to pull over to inspect the 1st one. (Have you SEEN how narrow the streets are in Puerto Rico??!!)
7. I cannot draw. Anything.
8. I played the violin for 9 years.
9. I am VERY addicted to chapstick and lipgloss. I get worringly anxious when I don't have any. I even left church early once b/c I couldn't stand it anymore.
10. I don't have very much patience.
11. I love all foods that are bad for me...Taco Bell, Buffalo Wild Wings, corned beef hash, etc.
12. I have seriously considered being a surrogate mother
13. I really enjoy geneaology and have been indexing for the LDS church for over a year now. (downloading scanned documents like census & marriage records and typing them into the Family Search database for others to use in research.)
14. I love to travel, especially roadtrips.
15. I am super fascinated with the Amish.
16. If it were solely up to me, I'de have more kids
17. I hold a slight grudge against my parents for not giving me a sister
18. My physical talents are limited to flipping my eyelids inside out and putting my hand under my ribs and grabbing them.
19. I am a naturally serious person, but love to laugh at other's jokes.
20. Writing is my forte, but math is my life
21. I am extremely competitive
22. I didn't have a license until I was 18. I failed the driving test twice in Puerto Rico, so just drove without it. It's not really necessary there anyway.
23. My first car was a 1985 wood-paneled station wagon that seated 11 people. (please refer back to #6)
24. Washington DC is my all-time favorite city in the world.
25. I've worn nothing but Gap jeans since I was a size 00 there in middle school.

She's A Sure Shot
Now that Nadja is 11, I figured it was time to officially dub her in to young womanhood--Packer style. My mom and I took her to the shooting range yesterday. She was amazing! After one short lesson on gun safety and proper technique in the lobby, she was ready. I told her to aim for his chest, but she thought it would be better to aim for the "bullseye"-the guy's gun barrel. As you can tell, she was pretty close! For those of you in the know-she used a 9mm Glock.
This was the very first shot she fired.

Chopsticks Karate Show!
Yesterday was Michaela's last night of karate and the Chopsticks put on a show for us. It was great and we are so proud of our little karate kid!
(I don't know why this photo isn't showing up. I'll have to work on it)

Here Ya Go, Jen!
Here I am in my Christmas morning glory, reading the directions to a great new word game I got from my in-laws. (I haven't yet convinced anyone to play with me yet, but I'm working on it) Notice the trusty can of Coke Zero close by. How anyone can make it through a morning without Coke is a mystery to me.

Is it Summer or Winter?
Just a miscellaneous picture I took of the girls last week. But while I was uploading photos from my camera, I found the photo below taken just last week when it was snowing. I tell ya, Houston has the craziest weather! It can be 40 one day and 8o the next.
