Tagged

Well, I was tagged twice this week so I guess I better do this. I am supposed to list 7 things about myself. I am trying to think of not obvious things like that I do hair or something, so here we go.

1. I love reading! I will read anything (as long as it isn't pornographic). I especially like historical fiction. I love history so to become a part of history through a novel, is so exhilarating for me. I must read before I go to bed or I have a hard time sleeping.


2. The mountains are amazingly cathartic for me. There is nothing better to me than driving through mountain roads looking at the beauty of God's creations. I love hiking, camping, fishing and white water rafting. Living in Idaho is perfect for all these activities.

3. I love taking baths. I take a bath literally every day, even if I have already taken a shower. It's so relaxing. I even spent a large part of my labor with Sam in the bathtub. Thank goodness we have a large bathtub! One rental we lived in had a tiny bathtub and a low amount of hot water. I hated it because I could never take a relaxing bath.


4. I love having a calling in the Church. I know most people dread it, but I get excited when I have an appointment with the Bishop and know I am getting a new calling. I guess I like a challenge and like to serve others. Outside of church I am often too shy to put myself out there but when I have a calling and it is expected of me I can do it. I am in Young Women's now and although it is a lot of work, I absolutely love it.

5. I like to cross stitch. There aren't a ton of cute things to do with cross stitching, but I still enjoy it. It is really relaxing for me and I love creating things. Right now I am working on Sam's stocking to complete our family right now. Oh scratch that, Mark wants me to do one for the dog, he feels like he is left out!


6. I love nice jeans. I will spend a ridiculous amount of money on them, much to Mark's chagrin. I get excited when I spend $5 on a shirt, but a pair of jeans has to be good quality, expensive, and make me look like I have a rear end. Not an easy feat!

7. I am often obsessive about tweezing. I can't stand any stray hairs so I typically tweeze every day. I don't think it hurts, I actually enjoy it! That is so weird I know but I sometimes even tweeze armpit hairs, if I don't have any eyebrows to tweeze.

These are some quirky things about me! I have to 7 people so I tag Jessica Carney, Jessica Webster, Chanell Reichner, Janece Mendoza, Kindra Cherry, Katherine Murdoch and Kelli Hessing. Can't wait to learn more about you guys!!!!!

I had forgotten about the tweezing. I remember you doing that all the time when we lived together. These were fun facts, fun to learn and remember.

WHAT!!! you tweeze your armpit hairs? Did you lose your razer! That makes my armpits hurt just reading it! I'm definately with you on the reading, long baths, and nice jeans. Although I buy jeans to hide my butt, not make it bigger!

sorry me again. I just noticed in the comments that me you and Megan are all on line at the same time. Our kids must be in bed!

I look up to you for loving your callings. I definitely need to work on that one. (teaching gospel doctrine to a ward of med,law,dental, and Phd students has almost turned me inactive)I loved living in Provo together and going on fun hikes and drives in the mountains. Expensive jeans are always worth the investment, though I'm with Megan on trying to MINIMIZE the booty!

I forgot the most important part... we should have a tweezing party. Kevin goes insane when he's waiting for me to get ready and I start plucking!
