I was reading Melinda's blog and loved all that she put down when she was tagged. I learned stuff I would have never known. At the end I saw my name and had to chekc through all the other links she had on her blog to see if there was another Kristin. I am assuming there isn't but if I am wrong I am sorry.
1. I am one of the most patriotic people I know. When my Grandma Jensen was talking to Jared right after we were married she warned him about this. Being here in Germany gets a little difficult at times when I start to really miss America. The things I miss most are the Americans acceptance of new things. Germans are not like that at all. Also I miss the silly and tiny things about the culture. When Jared and I go on American Military bases I have to stop by all the magazines and read them. I even read Yahoo just for the gossip. It is pitiful...I know! I really miss the American tv shows.
2. I love to watch BYU Television on the internet in the mornings. We watched the last conference through that this last time and since then I love it. I love the documentaries, not really the discussions on the scriptures so much. It starts my day off on a good note.
3. I am like Kari and ended up marrying a person with alot of things that I had always said I didn't want my husband to have. I had forever said that I wouldn't live outside the United States. I did say that if I did marry someone who wasn't an American he would have to want to stay in America and live. Well, I married a German-American who lives in Germany, and we have no idea when we will ever move to America. But we want to, as soon as we feel it is the right thing to do.
4. The older I get and the longer I am a mother the more I realize what a perfectionist I am and what a hygenic freak I am. I hate when dishes aren't done a certain way (that probably goes back to the time when I worked at the deli in Macey's). I long to become more of mother and organizer like my mom each day.
5. I hate Germany fashions and refuse to dress my children like that. I pick and buy the clothes that look most American. The German fashion for kids seems to me to look like all the kids are either clowns or witches. It really grosses me out.
6. I have kept a journal since I was 14 and love it. I try to write things in a way that I wouldn't feel embarassed if Jared or my kids read it. Actually I write it so that they can read it and I hope that somehow reading the things I experience will help them.
7. Once Jared is done with his schooling I want to get a Bachelors in Interior Design. I took a class in High School and really love it. When I was still going to college I was working on becoming an Elementary School teacher (I don't know why I hadn't thought of Interior Design yet). About 1 week before I started dating Jared I had decided to change my major and do Interior Design instead. Well, now I just need to do it.
Since I haven't had a chance to email the link to this blog to any of my other friends I can't tag anyone, you all have done it already. I loved reading all of yours though.
as trying to take the picture of her boots she only wanted to pose sitting, so I got this one too. I think she looks like some kind of cowboy or something.
