25 Random Things About Me

1. I love to sleep.
2. I don't check pockets before I do laundry.
3. I never wanted to live in Utah and now I live in Utah, probably for a long time.
4. I watch too much tv! Though it is limited to when my kids are in bed in the evenings, so 2 to sometimes 3 hours a day.
5. I have control issues. This is one of the reasons why parenting is hard for me. When my kids don't do what I want them to, I flip out.
6. I was very involved in drama in high school, (especially love musicals,) but haven't done anything since then. I miss it a lot!
7. I rarely wear makeup.
8. My husband is only the 2nd guy I dated seriously.
9. I LOVE hanging out with girlfriends and occassionally miss having college roommates and all the fun we had.
10. I am pretty much constantly reading a book. I prefer fiction and am not a big fantasy or sci fi fan, but I'll read most any thing I randomly pick up or that someone recommends to me.
11. I love my "new" house in Utah. While not perfect, I think it's great!
12. This house is the 14th place I've lived in, in the 10 years I've been married.
13. I LOVE to dance and miss going to the monthly youth dances at church. I wish I knew more ballroom!
14. I consider myself to be a pretty self confident person and have never cared a whole lot about what other people might think of me.
15. I like to entertain and have people over. So glad to be in a house that makes that easier.
16. I'm still dissapointed I was not able to major in Music Ed. at BYU.
17. Since going to BYU, I've had confidence issues in my signing ability. Being in a couple of singing groups in the last few years is helping that.
18. I think I used to be a very fun, spontaneous, crazy kind of person. Now that I'm married and have kids I think I've become pretty boring and routine-locked.
19. I have VERY small feet with VERY short toes.
20. I graduated magna cum laud from BYU (I take tests well.)
21. I have never dyed my hair.
22. I'm allergic to all animals with fur.
23. I don't like to exercise or diet, hence the 20lbs I can't lose!
24. I talk a lot.
25. My life has overall (in the big things) turned out like I always planned for it to...
-Go to BYU
-Get married
-Be a stay-at-home mom to lots of kids
-etc..

Oh Julie. I love it all! Not that #26 was "looking to seek approval of others" but I still figured you'd like to know. We need to plan something for the summer... living within a few hours means NO EXCUSES for a vacation. We miss you guys. Thanks for the laugh first thing this morning! :)
