Welcome to Our Page

About a month ago, my sister challenged her YW girls to write 100 things about themselves. She posted a blog with her list and what can I say, she inspired me... Thanks Tricia!

1. I am a people watcher. I love being in crowded restaurants or places and look at and wonder what other people's stories are. The people I'm with hate it!

2. I Love love love Candy, OK sweets! If it is full of sugar and everything bad for you, I love it! My family called me the "Candy Queen" when I was younger.

3. I love to talk and hear my own voice. I know it sounds really silly and a bit immature but I don't know what to tell ya. I laugh with my sister because when we were little and shared a room, she would have to trick me in to being quiet so she could fall asleep. I hate to admit this, but now my family hates talking to me on the phone because they think I just blab about nothing. Its really important stuff though!

4. I am addicted to online shopping! I shouldn't work in front of a computer, I'm surprised I get anything done.

5. In light of my sisters blog, I am a blog stalker! LOL. (You'll have to check out Tricia's blog if you are wondering what I'm talking about.)

6. I like to quilt, although Jaci wouldn't believe me. I have been working on the same quilt for 1 1/2 yrs! I just ran in to a small problem with my borders... :(

7. I have some of the best friends in the world! I couldn't ask for any better!

8. My family is the greatest, most loving family Ever! I love them all so much!

9. Dustin is my boyfriend and my bestest friend! I love him so much and spend all my spare time with him and miss him when I'm not with him!

10. I will lose 10 lbs in the next 2 months.

11. I talk myself in to liking to work out... It really is refreshing and a great way to start your day!

12. I want to do another marathon so I have something to keep my butt in gear and make me work out and run! I think I may have talked Dustin in to doing a 1/2 with me next summer even, we'll see though.

13. There are several people in my life I look up to and hope that I can live more like them.

14. I am addicted to movies, not near as much as Jaci, but I love going to the latest movies. I think there are about 7 or 8 that I want to see just this holiday season... That's a lot of money on movies though. :(

15. I hate bowling! Dustin and I bowled on the Wii the other night, not near as bad as real bowling, but could still only play for so long.

16. I love Dance Dance Revolution! I think Ive posted enough about how much Dustin loves it, but I'm the reason why he even bought it in the first place.

17. I'm thankful that I have a stable job, whether I like it every day, that is another question.

18. I get annoyed a little too easily with stupid people and questions.

19. I'm trying to talk myself in to liking to read. Some books are easier and faster than others. I'm reading the Golden Compass right now and have to have it finished before Dec. 7th or else I will see the movie and never read the book or part of the trilogy and Dustin would be mad at me.

20. I like doing crafts. My mom and sisters are way better than I am, but that is OK because they help me with the crafts I'm working on.

21. This might be to much info, but I love getting new underwear! There's just something about changing it out every couple of months.

22. I love water skiing and being on the boat!

23. I love being in the mountains, one of Heavenly Father's many wonderful creations.

24. I love the gospel and the pure Joy it brings me when I am following the teachings.

25. I am the favorite Aunt! I guess that's because I'm the only single aunt and don't have any kids.

26. I love pictures! Dustin hates how much I love taking them and every time he sees my camera says, Oh great, here comes the camera!

27. I love birthdays! What a great day they are, its the only day when its all about you!! lol

28. I love shoes and purses. I will never have enough of either of them.

29. I'm going back to school next year to finally finish my degree. I told Dustin he gets to and in return I will too. He only has a year left though, I have at least 2 or 3.

30. I love ring shopping! It will be bittersweet when I finally get my ring... We wont be able to ring shop anymore, but Ill have My ring!!

31. I love keeping in contact with my friends, especially those that have moved away. Dustin thinks I talk to my friends too much. That is why I have more close friends than he does.

32. I love singing & Dustin hates when I sing because I can't carry a tune if my life depended on it. He tries to teach me but its a lost cause... Maybe he will learn and give up one day.

33. I love to dance. Jaci hates it because I go in her office and dance, especially when So you think you can dance is on. I don't really care who sees me either, you would think I would be a little embarrassed but I'm not totally not!

34. I like to plan ahead. Dustin says I think too much of the future and not so much of the now. I guess that's a good thing though, he's the now and I'm the future... equal balance, right?

35. I will have my car paid off on Friday! What a relief!! Ive been making a car payment for WAY too long. It will only last 4 months though, then I will start paying on Dustin's car I'm sure.

36. I love driving other peoples cars. I trade Dustin cars every now and then for fun.

37. I love going out to eat. We are trying not to eat out as much, which is nice, but I love when someone else gets to clean up the mess.

38. I love surfing the classifieds! KSL.com and Craigslist. Even when I don't need anything in particular!

39. I LOVE Target. I can go there everyday and find something new every time I go.

40. I love Ikea! The other day I was there, filled one of their bags to the brim and it broke on me on my way out. One of the girls gave me one of their "blue bags" for free!! I was really impressed!!

41. I love my "ME" time. Every Tuesday I get the night to myself! I workout, do laundry and relax!

42. I like to play set up. If I know any cute girls and any cool guys, I like to set my friends up with each other. I know how happy I am and want them to be just as happy as me!

43. I like nice things! I have expensive taste.

44. I love water! I like the occasional Dr Pepper, but my first choice is usually water!

45. I love the Christmas season! I love having excuses to spend lots of time with my family and friends.

46. I want to make people happy by doing small things for them or helping them out in any way I can.

47. I want to be an adoption counselor. That way, I can help young mothers give their precious babies to families that otherwise can not have any and the children and the mother can have a better chance at life.

48. It drives me nuts when I can't understand people in society.

49. I hope I can be more like my parents one day, they are always looking for someone to serve and help out in any way they can.

50. My brother-in-law told me that I have grown up a lot in the 5 yrs he has been in the family, not sure if that was a compliment or not...

51. I am the only one not married in my family, holidays in the past have been quiet and a little depressing. Hopefully that will change soon.

52. I love getting flowers! Its been a while, but that's why they are special, it's not something that's over done for me. Tulips are my favorite, but I like any kind!

53. I tend to be a little overly sensitive in some things.

54. I'M GOING TO ITALY!!

55. I don't like to cheat, unless it's a game I'm playing with Dustin because he ALWAYS wins!

56. I can't wait to start my own family and own traditions.

57. I am scared I wont be as good of a wife and mother as my mom and sisters are.

I couldn't get through life with out them.

59. I like watching Utah football games and am starting to enjoy BYU games as well.

60. I like the Jazz games, but the do play a LOT!

61. I'm a perfectionist. Everything has to be done right and when you use something, it has its place where it needs to be put back.

62. I am very indecisive, I can never make up my mind on anything! That's why this whole ring shopping is going to take a long time!

63. There is nothing like a Real Christmas tree! Not even a candle can replace the smell and aroma of the real thing.

64. We use to tell our friends that we were part Indian because my dad has always been so tan and they have this random painting of this Tribe leader handing in their house. "Its my great, great grandparents."

65. I really want a puppy but will settle for a kitty. It really is a little more practical for me right now. I just need to talk my roommates and/or Dustin in to it. I always say, "Babe, can we get a kitty??"

66. My siblings think I've always been the spoiled one. The reality is we were All spoiled and my brother was the worst... Only boy takes Way more precedence over the youngest child.

67. I could do laundry every day if my roommates would let me. I love the smell of fresh, clean laundry!

68. I love having the garage! In the summer, doesn't matter so much, but in the winter, its so nice not to have to scrape your windows every morning!

69. I want to go somewhere tropical on my honeymoon but I want it to be a surprise.

70. I wish I had a yard so I could grow a garden with my own tomatoes even though they wouldn't be near as nice as my parents.

71. I love campfires but didn't have any this year for some reason.

72. I had my tongue pierced for about a month right after I graduated high school. I look at people now and think they are trashy with them. My was right when the trend was starting.

73. I am terrified of being outside alone at night, no matter where it is.

74. I love having my nails done and getting pedicures, it makes me feel more girlie.

75. I procrastinate at work, then when I have to leave at night, I don't want to because I finally got a work roll and don't want to lose it. I've been working on one file all day. Now its almost time to go home and I'm not going to leave until its done.

76. I wish I could express my gratitude to those I love and admire with out it sounding repetitive and insincere.

77. Lately, I like to take my time getting ready in the mornings. I can wake up at 8 but still not get to work til 930 or closer to 10.

78. I've always wanted to go sky diving, I haven't yet because I haven't wanted to spend the extra money. But one day I will.

80. I love going fishing with my dad. Its so peaceful and you have great chances to have good conversations.

81. I love showering but I HATE getting ready afterwards and doing my hair! Never, Ever cut bangs because you Have to do them Everyday! And they are a pain in the butt to grow out!

82. There's been a few times where I've wanted to get off the phone with someone and the phone started cutting in and out so I just hang up. Sorry if I've done it to you.

83. I love the fall but I hate how it gets dark so early. At 6 it feels like it is closer to 9!

84. One thing I love about the fall is the smell of the cool crisp air and someone usually has a fire in their fireplace.

85. I loved Halloween this year. It was fun to dress up and pass out the little candy to the trick- or-treators at the trunk-or-treat and those that stopped by.

86. I hate a dirty room and house.

87. I am excited for the holidays because it's going to be the first one with Dustin.

88. I like to tease people and call them names. Some people might think I'm a brat, but then they get to know me a little better and realize I really don't mean it.

89. I always have to explain myself in just about every situation which is why there are examples or stories in almost every thing about me.

90. I know that after I have finished this, I will think of 100 more things to add that most people don't know about me.

91. I love finishing "projects" whether it is a craft I've been working on forever or if its a problem client at work. There is just some satisfaction knowing it's done and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

92. I dont want to live too long because I dont want to be alone when I die. I am being selfish but I would love to die at the same time as my husband.

94. I'm not afraid to get dirty. I can be really girlie one minute and worry about breaking a nail and then get down and change my brakes the next minute.

98. I love to cuddle!

99. I love watching the Disney Channel! For those of you that think I'm crazy, I bet you like the movies on ABC Family!! Not much different. Haha

100. Sadly, I would be lost with out my cell phone or the Internet. How did we get along 10 years ago???

Man, that was really tough. You would think the more you got going, the easier it would get. Way to go Tricia, thanks for inspiring me! I want to challenge everyone else to write down 100 things about yourselves. It's a fun way to realize things and even learn new things about you as you are doing it. And you can laugh at yourself for the silly habits and things that make you You.
