This is for all my non-facebook friends.
I can't believe that I am actually going to do this. But after reading so many of these and being tagged a couple of times, I started thinking of things that might be interesting, so what the heck... here goes:
1. I hate being an emotional person. I cry at the drop of a hat. I would make a really good actress.
2. I was very shy growing up and would get so nervous when asked to do anything in front of a crowd, that I would cry. I can't believe I got an A- in Spanish. I never did any of the dialogs that were required.
3. I have snuck into the MTC several times. i once had lunch with my BFF and brought her some frozen yogurt.
4. I have only kissed five boys in my life.
5. I have loved every calling I have had in my church. I still miss my last one even though it has been almost a year since I was released.
6. My absolute favorite place, hands down, is Lake Powell. I love the smell, the scenery, being in the boat, waterskiing, laying on a raft getting tan, and hanging out on the houseboat.
7. I used to mountain bike in Moab a couple times a year when i was in college. Those days are long gone.
8. I was on the top of Mt. Sinai when I rang in my 21st birthday. Pretty cool.
9. I have always wanted to lose 10 lbs. but am not fat enough to be motivated to eat less and exercise more.
10. I love love love having a daughter.
11. I always liked the wrong boys growing up. I held crushes for long period of times, but those ones never liked me back.
12. I hate getting ready for the day (showering, doing my hair, etc.). It is such a waste of time.
13. My favorite job ever was working at Golden Swirl frozen yogurt on 7th east and 7th south the summer of 1993.
14. When I was in high school, I was grounded for a month, but my dad let me go waterskiing one saturday with some neighbors just as long as he could come.
15. I didn't get asked to my senior prom, but no worries. I went to Lake Powell and had glass all weekend long! I also spent a couple xmas breaks in powell. Can you say, "brrrrrrrr." We had dry suits and coolers filled with hot water to put our feet, hands and head in when we got out of the lake.
16. My dad would have sent me to a waterskiing camp in Flordia if I could have found someone to go with me, but I couldn't.
17. I didn't try out for cheerleader in jr. high even though I wanted to. I knew that I wouldn't have made the popular vote. I wasn't popular.
18. I did try out for songleader at BYU. And I am proud to say that I made it to the last cut. In my interview with the panel of judges, they asked why I didn't have any recommendation letters from my previous cheer coaches. They were shocked that i hadn't been a cheerleader before. I believe that is why I was cut. No experience, but did a great job of faking it. I was so sad when I didn't make it. I had worked so hard all week and i was exhausted and so sore!
19. I snuck out of the house twice when I was in 9th grade. So stupid! I didn't have any fun and was so scared that I was going to be caught and grounded for the rest of my life.
20. When I was in college, my car was stolen from my parents driveway. A couple days later I saw someone driving it, flipped a u to follow. i was driving my parents surburban and didn't have a cell phone. I followed for as long as i could but was eventually outrun. Plus, what would I have done anyway?
21. I would love to be a therapist. i like to know people's thought processes. I graduated in psychology, but I don't have the energy or desire to go on to grad school and actually pursue that career path. Maybe one day.
22. I am very curious about those people that join the church I belong to. I want to know their conversion stories. And on the flip side, I am even more curious about the reasons people choose to leave the church, in a non-judgemental way.
23. I always thought that I would have had more fun in high school if I could've been the person I am now.
24. I didn't learn the value of a dollar until I was in my last year of college and was expecting my first baby. I was so naive. Have been money conscience ever since.
25. I would be a good accountant. I always have to know where the money is going and how much everything costs. I like to find a good deal and will research something out to find the better price. I am not an impulsve buyer. i usually have buyers remorse.
Bonus: I love having a vacation to look forward to.

I love Moab. It is one of my favorite places. I would still Mtn. bike but I have three little ones I have to take care of. Can I go to water skiing camp with you? Are we too old now?
I feel the same way about losing weight....I need motavation.
And my least favorite thing to do every day is getting ready.
I didn't know some of that stuff about you! I love these kind of post because I get to know some of those things I other wise wouldn't have, not to mention it's fun for your kids to look back on when they get older and read those kinds of things!
What a rule breaker! Sneaking out of the house twice! I wish I could count how many times, I did it! Shhh don't tell my kids! Plus it is a whole differen't ballgame in the world we live in! Love the list!
Annilee, don't you get sarcastic on me!! I was just smart enough to stop when I did. Like I said, it wasn't any fun. Maybe you should enlighten me on what you did when you snuck out of your house!!!
