Kelley's Kingdom

I've been tagged TWICE by my awesome sister-in-law Marie. So I will do one & then the other!!!

A. 6 Relatively Unknown facts/about about me!

The rules are as follows:1. The player lists 6 relatively unknown facts/habits about themselves.2. At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people and posts their names, and then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog for the rules.

1. A nickname given to me during my interpreting years at UVSC & BYU that only other interpreters know about. Co-workers & friends grew weary of saying Bianucci (my maiden name) all the time so they simplified it & started calling me "Nuch". It was catchy & fun. There are still a few friends that still use it in fact!

2. I am a Christmas baby! Yup that is right. I was born on Christmas day (although most people that read my blog already knew that, but it is still obscure!) But here is something most people don't know...I was brought home from the hospital in a Christmas Stocking & I finally saw it for the first time this year!

3. In second grade I played "Charlie" in "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory". I cried the first time I had to put my costume on, because I looked so much like a boy (duh, that was the point!) I was supposed to play "Violet Boagard", but the other girl they had playing Charlie didn't have a loud enough voice, so we switched!

4. I played the French Horn for one year in high school. I had played the flute since 6th grade, but my sophomore year, another french horn was needed & I volunteered. there was no way I was going to play the Tuba...that is way bigger than me!

5. I sang in a Children's choir for about 7 years & we won an international competition the year before we moved. The neat thing was the competition was at the Oakland Temple at the stake center that is adjacent to it! Of course I sang alto for all 7 years.

6. Matt & I planned our wedding in 7 weeks! We decided to get married at the very end of May & I had to be back at work to get ready for the upcoming fall semester by August 1 & Matt would start school again at BYU before things would slow down for me at UVSC in September. Neither one of us wanted to wait until Christmas break (I didn't want to get married that close to my birthday) so we decided to plan a fast wedding & get married in July! So now we share our anniversary with my Dad's birthday!
