A long time ago my good friend Alisa did this tag on her blog about 100 things about her. I loved it and wanted to do it to. But I didn't have the dedication to do it right away, so I put it on my to do list. Now half a year later I have finally gotten around to it. This was really challenging but enjoyable. I hope that everyone would try to come up with 100 (or at least 25) things about
themselves and put it on their blog!
100 things you might not know about me:
1. I love being tall, and I love wearing tall shoes, therefore I am grateful that Anthony is taller than me even in my highest heels.
2. I think I was blessed with nice looking hands.
3. Anything (pictures, video ect.) put to inspiring music makes me cry.
4. I love family and love being around them.
5. Secret professional aspiration I have always wanted to pursue: a photographer, author, artist, beauty stylist, chef.
6. Secret athletic aspirations I have always wanted to pursue: Gymnast, Ballerina, Cheerleader (the good kind that go to nationals), Swimmer, Cyclist, Triathalon-ist ( pretty much anything you can think of actually).
7. Secret musical aspirations I have always wanted to pursue: guitar/singer/songwriter, Opera singer, Piano, Oh and don’t forget American Idol.
8. I like to highlight things. So I don’t even go there in my textbooks, or it would be one solid block of color.
9. I can palm a men’s basketball.
10. I am co-president and founder of Club-blade, a rollerblading club for cool people. This is how Anthony and I met.
11. Music makes me feel cool: When I workout, when I drive, when I walk.
12. I love Anthony’s deodorant and the way it smells on him, so yes I sniff his armpits.
13. I love manual cars.
14. I have taken over 155 tests in the BYU testing center and still have five months left.
15. There is nothing better than a sharp knife in the kitchen.
16. I tend to not like people the first time I meet them (but after that I usually love them!).
17. I wish that I knew as much about politics as Anthony.
18. When we have our first child, I hope that it is a boy.
19. I love surprises (good ones).
20. My current struggle: Get my masters degree in speech pathology after I graduate vs. start a family.
21. I set a school high jump record in high school.
22. I tore my ACL and MCL in a soccer game during my sophomore year in high school.
23. I get really excited in late spring when I start to get a flip flop tan line.
24. My favorite color is brown.
25. I think farts are really funny. Every time I hear one (from whomever) I can’t help but laugh and laugh and laugh, until I smell it, then of course the fun and games are over.
26. I like to get cheesy emails, my favorites: emails that talk about how blessed we are, emails that are long story jokes, and emails that have funny pictures.
27. I love the food network, and dream about having my own show.
28. I can’t wait until I have the property to plant a fabulous garden.
29. I love to color; it is one of the most relaxing things in the world.
30. I think that I am in heaven when Anthony gives me a foot massage.
31. I wish that I could have the body that I had in high school.
32. My life is emotion. Good and bad.
33. I was the Student Body President of my high school.
34. I wish the weekend was four days long.
35. My favorite holiday is 4th of July.
36. I still get butterflies when I hear Anthony pull into the garage (ok so its not a garage, but our apartment is right by our parking lot and I hear him pull in)
37. I get road rage.
38. I have never been a big accessory person (purses, necklaces, earrings, sunglasses) but I have always wanted to be. It’s just really hard for me to spend money on them, but I am starting to get a good little collection.
39. I HATE studying for tests, but I think it is fun to take them and kind of look forward to it.
40. Someday I want to travel the world with Anthony
41. I like reality TV (the more fake the better!)
42. I miss the old Martha Stewart and her show.
43. I have always been a morning person, until I married Anthony. I still try, but it is hard because we are complete opposites in that sense.
44. Recently I have learned to live life in the present, not always waiting for the future to happen.
45. It will be a miracle if I come up with 100 of these things.
46. I hate it when the plastic things come off the ends of shoelaces.
47. I don’t like wearing make-up.
48. I hate long nails.
49. I can’t wait until we have enough money to buy a Mac computer.
50. My favorite number is 12.
51. I like to mow the lawn and plan on doing it in the future. (Anthony doesn’t know this yet)
52. If my knees would allow, I would love to become a marathoner and do 5 or 6 a year.
53. I find it absolutely delightful that my whole family is on Facebook.
54. I get teary eyed during certain country music videos and old church endorsed commercials (“Family: isn’t it about…time?”)
55. I have serious considerations to go to culinary/pastry school or become a cycling instructor.
56. I look forward to the day that we will have a big comfy couch (a 3 seater) so that Anthony and I could snuggle while we watch movies.
57. Speaking of movies, I think Anthony and I are addicted to the art of picking out and watching movies Redbox and Blockbuster style.
58. I love to laugh.
59. I’m not a very touchy-feely person when I am around people. I love hugging my family and my husband, but with friends and such I feel awkward, consequently it is that awkwardness that causes me to hug them because I don’t know what to do.
60. I think awkward should be spelled differently, like this: aqward.
61. That is probably because I have never been good at spelling. Some words I still have trouble with to this day: whether (this is more of a grammar problem), weird, thought, collage, calendar, grateful, counselor, schedule, chocolate, piece, and tongue.

62. I hate talking on the phone unless it is with my mom.
63. My ideal vacation scene would be spend two months in China and two months in Africa with Anthony, exploring as much as we can, using unlimited funds for travel, souvenirs and food. (Add souvenirs to the list of words I can’t spell, thank goodness for spell-check!)

74. If I had to choose between a family of all girls (max 4!) or a family of all boys, I would choose all boys.
75. I look forward to the joys, blessings and trials of motherhood.
76. If I start my day with a workout, it goes 10 times better.
77. I loved being in high school.

I loved reading your 100 things post! It was so fun making gingerbread houses...and mine is still standing..amazing! You are such a sweet girl and I admire you so much!
that was fun to read! while reading i was loke "oh i'm gonna coment on that one...and that one.." well this is the only one i remember: definitely start the fam over grad school. can you say "OverRAted?" okay just do whatever you want. but being a mom is way cooler than school. or you could be a crazy person and do both.
My wife has to have been the cutest little girl on the planet.
Hi, that was good list. The most impressive being that you can actually palm a men sized basketball!!!! That is amazing! Is it because you have long fingers... or is it because you are double jointed or something?
If you get a chance, please post a picture of you doing this if you ever get a chance.
Also, you should check out prettyhands.wordpress ... I am sure you would be a huge hit!
Would love to see a picture of those beautiful basketball palming hands!
Can you palm just for second or two, or can you actually pick the ball up off the floor and really palm?
