What is new about me?

I have come to the conclusion that marriage and growing up really changes you. Yeah, you are thinking, well duh. Which reminds me you don't get a lot of "duh" these days. Anyways! I feel like a different person. A better person. Here is what is different about me.

I cry at 'The Bachelor":
Yes, at the Bachelor. Ok, don't laugh. But really. Years ago, I would never have cried at a reality TV show. But sometimes, now, when I watch it, I get a little misty. I am just more emotional when it comes to love. I see a couple get married on the TODAY show and I can't stop crying. I can't decide if this change is a good thing or not.

I feel more creative:
I feel like now, if could go back to school, I would be an awesome music major. I would be more creative. I know it! Cause now, I love to write songs. Yes, most are for my elementary students, but it happens. I also like to paint. And scrapbook. Scrapbook? Heck yes.

I cook and bake:
Growing up, I had no interest in this. In college...I still had no interest in cooking and making cupcakes. But my need to keep busy during the summer juxstaposed with my need to make my husband say "yum" has made me like to cook. I have made a cake with two layers, cookies of all kinds, cupcakes, wings, ribs, chicken in all forms....the list goes on and on. And my mom said I was never interested growing up! Maybe that is what I needed....

I am way more sentimental:
I collect it all. Everything. Move stubbs, baseball tickets, programs, CDs....it's ridiculous. Hence my need to start a scrapbook. I have boxes of stuff. I also want others to be sentimental. I send lots of cards. This is fun, and I think people like it. If they don't, they don't say so.

So these are the things that are different. Now I am off to pack for our super cool anniversary trip to San Antonio to see Shamu!! It's our San Antonaversary!
