1. I really love pretty things, what constitutes pretty in my eyes is normally something that is sparkly, glittery, shiny etc. For example I have a wreath on one of our walls that is entirely covered in glitter, I have like 15 glitter covered candles on our TV stand, every picture frame in my house has some sort of glitter/sparkle/shiny aspect, I also have a weird standing branch thing that is covered in glitter. I just super love it. A lot. Someday I will probably have a painted wall of glitter, poor D. 2. I get sick a lot, it used to be a bummer but these days I mostly just think it is funny, I'm always snuffling, sneezing, nauseous or something. Due to my genetics everyone in my family has basically no immune system, so we all get colds/flus often, we all happen to be high stressed and so have irritable bowl syndrome. In some ways it's nice because we all get together and can compare what medicines we are on or what we've tried. 3. I love crime tv shows, Criminal Minds, CSI, NCIS are my favorites, but I can watch any of those shows for hours seriously, I have always liked them but when Drew was gone I would watch them every night until like 3:00 in the morning. I once read someone say that watching those shows alone was the scariest thing and that made me feel like a freak, because it doesn't scare me that much, instead anytime I hear a noise or think someone is going to break in I think of all the things I can use as a weapon. Serious. 4.I am now an animal person, I have always liked animals but after having Baby Rockstar and now Dutch, I think I will probably always have a dog. It amazes me how perceptive they are and so smart. I've always had animals but never one that I was with as much as I am with Dutch, he is my little buddy. I once said to Drew, "I can't wait until Dutch can start talking," and then we both started laughing out of control because I was SO serious and didn't even think about it. 5.I love to be barefoot, that is one thing I miss the most about living in Idaho, when I was little I used to run around barefoot all the time, I remember once we were playing tag in our field and I ran through and entire patch of goatheads and didn't realize it until one poked me in the side of my foot, my feet were that tough then. I just don't like to wear shoes that much but I love to buy them. When I got my Vibram five finger shoes I was worried because I had been reading about them and it said that a lot of people had to adjust to them for months before they could actually wear them because their feet weren't used to using the muscles in their feet, but my feet didn't need adjusting at all, I would wear those shoes every day if I didn't look like such a weirdy 6. I'm so grateful that we have memories, I was thinking about this the other day realizing how many things have changed with life as i've gotten older, but it is nice to have memories and to remember all of the good things even though things have changed. 7. Babies are literally the coolest invention I've ever seen. One of my best friend's here just had a perfect little boy and I got to go and see him and hold him and was just struck by how amazing it is that our bodies are able to create other bodies that are perfect. They have perfect fingers and toes and eyes and ears. So darling. And I think that is probably the most advanced technology ever, I just think it's so awesome. (No not baby hungry, just amazed that's all) 8. I want an old house. Seriously, we have been looking at houses now for over 9 months and all I want is an old house. Luckily there are a plethora of those here in Logan, but they also happen to always have a thousand things that are wrong with them, like a cracked foundation, sunken roof, broken windows, wrong wiring, etc, etc, etc. It is funny because it would be so much easier to get a house if I just liked newer houses, but I have this fantasy of living in an old house with a huge porch and having a fireplace and lots of bookshelves and big trees and a hammock. The fantasy goes on and on but I hope that someday we actually get a house because I am so tired of all of these white walls and feeling like i'm living in a hotel with all of my stuff. I've lived in Logan now almost 3 years and I'm sick of apartments, the feeling has increased since my parents have moved here and haven't bought a house, it makes me feel displaced a little. 9. I love laughing, did you know how good it is to laugh? It is soooo good for you. I read a list of health benefits from laughing and have since decided I need to laugh more like I used to. Lucky for me I think i'm the funniest person alive so I laugh a lot already, and when I fail, SNL is always there to pick up my slack for me. 10.I love the mountains here in Logan. Seriously love them. I actually really like Logan itself, more and more it seems, when we went to Salt Lake this week we both were more than ready to go back to Logan and the slower pace we have become accustomed to 11. In the exact reverse of #10 I am SOOOO excited that City Creek is now officially opened! I have a feeling I will be in Salt Lake a lot more frequently these days. Questions for me from Kels 1. If you were a punctuation mark, what would you be and why? I would be an exclamation point!! Obviously I'm always very passionate about basically everything so I think it just fits. 2. If you had to be blind or deaf, which would you choose? I would rather be deaf, I wouldn't mind not hearing all of the negativity in the world but I would so miss seeing everything, especially D every day. 3. What is your dream vacation? I have about a million dream vacations, one includes going to a bed and breakfast by the ocean and reading a thousand books and eating delicious food and having no care in the world, the other includes going to a foreign country and seeing everything there is to see and going everywhere and experiencing the culture, obviously that vacation would be like 3 months or longer 4. If you could have any animal as a pet, what animal would it be? I would still choose Dutch, he is my favorite. 5. If you had a theme song, what song would it be and why? This one is hard, I would say the song on Pride and Prejudice when she is walking and meets Mr. Darcy, there are a lot of emotions in that song and I just love it. So I choose that one. 6. Are you a morning bird or a night owl? Night owl no questions. 7. If you could live in a different time period, which would you choose? I would love to live in the 17th century. The clothes and jewels ahhh yes. 8. In the future, you have a child. If this child is a boy, what would you name him? If she is a girl, what do you name her?
