28.5 Things You May (or May Not) Know About Me

1. I love cliff jumping. Once, while in High School, I jumped off a cliff nearly 60 feet high with my friend Clint. What a rush!

2. I love restored cars. I love car shows, car parts, car swap meets, oldies music, and anything to do with muscle cars. Thank you dadd-i-o!

3. I don't do left overs. I know, a complete waste of food. Drives Hayden bonkers. But I can't do it.

4. I am a product junkie (hair product that is). No matter if I've tried it before, and I didn't like it, if it's in cute packaging, smells good, and intrigues me in the slightest way, I will buy it. I could donate hair products to the entire county of Emery and still have shampoo left over.

5. I had the biggest crush on John Stamos when I was little (still do, pathetic I know). I used to make my neighbor friends play wedding with me all the time. Of course I was the beautiful bride and my groom was John. Wow.

6. I can wiggle my ears. My nieces think it's the coolest thing ever. Hey, I'm a pretty cool aunt, what else can I say?

7. I love horror flicks. But thanks to Hayden, he won't let me watch them because I always have nightmares. I don't think I've seen a scary movie since college.

8. I don't own a single candle. I have extreme candle anxiety. For instance, I had a candle once that I lit on a Tuesday. Hayden and I went out of town the following Friday and the ENTIRE weekend I had extreme anxiety that I left the candle burning. I have obsessive anxiety over leaving candles burning. Therefore, Hayden and I threw out all my candles and have moved onto melted wax. I sleep (we sleep) much better now.

9. I have a cat named Woody. When I got him, he went straight to our wood pile and lived there for 3 days before ever coming out. So my dad named him Woody. At the time (I was 10) it was all good. My guy friends thought it was hilarious in high school. He's still kickin' and is older than dirt.

10. I love weddings. Anything wedding. Dresses, flowers, diamonds, traditions, drama, shoes, receptions, food, honeymoons, etc... I want to start a wedding planning business more than I can explain. I just don't think one in Emery County would thrive.

11. I have enormously long toes and feet. Gigantic. I actually can pick things up with my toes and pinch people. My favorite is to get ahold of Hayden's leg hair and pinch! Freakin' hilarious! Last week at the ultrasound the tech said "Wow, look at those long toes." WOOPS! Sorry son!

12. I've rode a scooter around Phuket, Thailand and have enjoyed the most beautiful sun set on the other side of the world. Looking for a romantic getaway? Thailand is it!

13. I took so much Zanex on the plane ride to Thailand I completely feel asleep for over 6 hours and woke up to a pool of drool on Hayden's shoulder. He just smiled at me. What a great hubby

14. I was born drinking Diet Coke. I love it. I love it in the morning, in the mid-morning, in the afternoon, at night, even as a midnight snack. It's been the HARDEST thing to give up since pregnancy (although, I must be honest and say that I do cheat and treat myself to one- non-caffeine though).

15. I knew who I was going to marry at the age of 10. It was confirmed even stronger at age 17. I can testify that a 10 year old can truly feel the "love" you have for your soul mate. I can't remember not being in love with Hayden.

16. When I was little, I was FREAKED out by tomato worms. Once, I found one on Tatum's shoulder and I was so freaked out I started crying. Tate: do you remember? They still give me the EEBIE JEEBIES. They are so fat, green, and the spots down the sides look like eyes. Seriously, I have goose bumps (goose flesh is the proper term, I paid 10 grand to learn that in hair school) just talking about it.

17. Lake Powell water runs in my veins. It's a Lake Powell thing. If you know what I mean, you REALLY know what I mean. If you don't, you will never get it. Powell is my favorite destination in the world. Enough said.

18. I fully, honestly, whole-heartedly look forward to labor and delivery. I think it's an AMAZING process and watching my sister go through it 3 times made me realize how much I wanted a baby. It amazes me that my body can take a cell from itself, a cell from Hayden, and can create a living, breathing, thriving human life. But, I'm boggled by this questions "Does the spirit enter the body at conception or birth?" I'd like to know your opinion so leave a comment!

19. After years of fighting, growing and learning together, I can honestly say that my sister is my best friend. It amazes me how close we have gotten in our older years. I admire her more than she will ever know.

20. I love theme parks. Disneyland, Six Flags, Knots Berry Farm, I love em all. Especially Disneyland. Last time I was there I cried. Yup, cried. I'm a cryer. It brought back this childhood feeling that was so amazing. I'm a dork! Get a life!

21. When at Lake Powell, I have visions of BIG FISH coming up from the depths of the blue water and biting my leg. Yet, I continue to swim for hours on end.

22. I don't do dishes. You know those special pots, pans, and knifes that you couldn't stick in the dishwasher when you were younger because mom said it would ruin them? News flash, it doesn't. I've used my dishwasher for ALL my pots, pans, and anything special my entire marriage. Going on 4 years here, not one pot ruined. I think it was a good excuse for manual labor. (Mom, thanks for making me do the dishes when I was younger and not letting me be a spoiled brat, even though I was mad at you at the time)

23. I could live in front of the TV if I let myself. TLC, HGTV, and A&E. Flip That House, have you seen it? All time favorite

24. Honestly, sometime I wonder if I could have married someone more opposite than me. Which is really a HUGE blessing. Otherwise, we would drive each other crazy if we were alike. But really, we are so opposite on so many things, which only adds flavor to our relationship.

25. At 17, I walked in on the high school football coach changing his clothes. I had gone in after school was out to re-take a test. I knocked, no one answered. I knocked again, no answer. I jiggled the hand and it turned so I thought, "I'll leave him a note that I wanted to re-take a test." I walked in and there he was, garmmies only, I was mortified. I cried the entire bus ride home. Weston Lemon kept asking me why I was so upset which just made me cry even harder.

26. I 100% think my parents are so freakin awesome. They rock. I couldn't have cooler parents. And for all of you out there, don't be jealous, but I SERIOUSLY lucked out in the in-law department! People still can't get over that I love them so much. We are truly blessed!

27. I love rap music. I'm admitting it. Don't ask me why. I just love it.

28. One time, in Vegas....

Now I tag ALL my blogger friends out there if you haven't already done this!
