Seven Things You May Not Know About Me: 

1. I've been to Burning Man twice, way back in the day before it was so big and organized. That place was pure anarchy. I have so many great stories...it was an experience unlike any other
2. I was a surf instructor for a year. I taught everyone---men, women, kids, beginners, intermediate classes--but my favorite was little girls
3. Years ago, I saved enough money to take a year off and travel around the world, but I never actually did it. I'm having a hard time remembering why not, but I think it was because I was living with my brother at the time and we were having so much fun together I didn't really want to leave. Also, I have this uber-responsible/puritanical streak in me, and quitting work for a year goes so thoroughly against that...
4. Right after college, I lived in Seattle with two of the coolest women ever. (God, what fun we had. Ah, to be 22 again...) All three of us ended up needing IVF to get pregnant, which is probably just a chance thing, but still weird
5. One of the most amazing things I ever did was backpack with my dad down into the Grand Canyon, up the other side and then back again (over 50 miles). This was right before I started with all the rounds of IVF. It's something I really want to do again someday, but it's probably going to be a while...
6. After my brother was killed, I was diagnosed with pretty serious PTSD (better now, though...)
7. I really, really, really, really want to name our daughter Imogene, but my husband unfortunately is not in love with the name. It's possible it'll end up our girl's middle name, though...

And the Blogs I Nominate for This Award Are:

1. Ambition: Motherhood
2. Built in Birth Control
3. Diary of Taking Small Steps Toward Baby Steps
4. Eggs in a Basketcase
5. Girls WIth Nice Legs Lead Boring Lives
