Yes, this is the same one I posted on FB, so if you've seen it there, you can move on. . . but thanks for checking in. :)
1. One of my biggest priorities is getting enough sleep (for me and my children)! I am definitely NOT a night person. I love mornings and I hate to take naps.
2. I LOVE my family—immediate, extended, and in-laws! My “sisters” (6 immediate, 5 in-laws, and a few extended) are my BEST friends! I am the 4th of 10 kids and enjoy/have enjoyed every minute of the chaos.
3. I really enjoy scrapbooking when it involves girlfriends, food, and lots of goss. . .I mean chatting. :)
4. I love all sports. Racquetball, skiing, volleyball, and gymnastics are a few of my favorites! I got my secondary education degree from BYU in Physical Education (and am also qualified to teach math).
5. I love numbers. I memorize numbers easily and love working with them (hence the math endorsement mentioned above). I know most phone numbers by heart even though it’s unnecessary these days. I can’t wait for my kids to be in algebra so I can help them with their homework!
6. I am usually happy and I laugh a lot.
7. I’m living my life-long dream of being a stay-at-home-MOM! (yes, that really is all I’ve ever wanted)
8. The two years between finishing college and having kids, I worked as a software tester for a consulting company. I tested programs for Novell and what used to be First Security Bank, to make sure they wouldn’t “blow up” on 01/01/2000 (remember the big Y2K scare?).
9. Summer is all about being at the pool! I take my kids almost every day that it’s above 85 degrees. It’s really all about the sun. I don’t understand why anyone would ever go to an indoor pool; they kind of gross me out.
10. I’ve never pierced my ears. No reason, just never have.
11. I love reality shows.
12. I’m a great driver (despite what you all think or have been told). FAST ≠BAD!!
13. I really love kids. My own and others’. I like teaching them and watching them play and learn. We could all benefit from being more like kids—more forgiving, happy, innocent, loving, and willing to do anything for a piece of candy.
14. I hate laundry, love vacuuming, and get along pretty well with all the other household chores.
15. I don’t enjoy shopping for clothes, groceries, or household items, but if I have a good chunk of money to spend, I like shopping for crafty things to decorate my house. (I rotate my decorations a few times a year to match the seasons—silly, I know, but it’s fun).
16. I LOVED doing our taxes every year until Dave started his own business and we invested in some real estate—now it’s not so fun anymore.
17. I married my FHE dad from my college ward.
18. I really liked growing up in the small town of Star Valley, but I couldn’t live there as an adult. . .I have to live within 5 minutes of a 24/7 Wal-Mart (or equivalent).
19. I’m not an avid reader, but I do enjoy reading educational and uplifting books. My favorites are historical fiction—usually LDS based. Oh, but don’t get me wrong—I LOVED the Harry Potter and Twilight series too.
20. I just started a blog a couple months ago.
21. I am definitely left brain dominant.
22. I miss my dog, Spike.
23. I should be in bed (refer to #1).
24. I love getting Christmas cards (with family pictures) from my family and friends every year—but I have a feeling that won’t last much longer as we all join FB and the blogging world—no need for hard copies, right?
25. As of TODAY, I have 34 nieces and nephews (congrats Julie) with 2 more on the way!
