From my facebook page: 25 Random Things about Me

1. I don't really know what to do with facebook. I'm much more comfortable blogging.
2. I read. A lot. Because I stay up all night 4 nights a week at work and have a lot of free time I often read a book every night or two.
3. I love to get book recommendations. Got some favorites?
4. I like being told how young I look, although I don't actually believe it. 5. I took piano lessons for 7 years and was pretty competent. After more than 10 years without a piano, I became incredibly rusty. Thanks to my mom-in-law I've had a piano for several years now but I still haven't gotten back what I lost.
6. I love to sing and I'm told I'm pretty good at it. But I've always wanted to take voice lessons from a really good teacher. And maybe sing in the MoTab Choir someday.
7. I am not a pet person. I tried having a cat for awhile, but I didn't take to it. I like visiting other people with pets occasionally, but I will never have a pet of my own. (Even fish were a pain!)
8. I want to finish my bachelor's degree (I'm so close!) and then maybe get a master's degree.
9. When I met Paul (from Nebraska), I'd never been outside of the western U.S. Now I've been to Washington D.C. and about 9 years ago I went to Paris and Amsterdam. I dream of traveling extensively with my husband in a few years.
10. My favorite beverage is ice cold water. So refreshing.
11. I am Twilight obsessed. In a good way--I have a lot of fun with it.
12. I make sure to regularly get time to have fun. Date nights with Paul are more rare than i'd like but I often spend the day or evening with a sister or my best friend Pam.
13. I have had an awesome best friend for 20 years now. Pam and I went to the same high school our senior year but didn't get to know each other and become friends until freshman year at university. We have spent years at a time living apart but have always managed to stay in touch.
14. I graduated from high school 20 years ago this year. I do not plan to attend my reunion. I only went to Orem High one year and probably won't really remember anyone. (If you are reading this and are in my graduating class and think I should attend, let me know!)
15. I got married a couple of months before I turned 20 and I think I was pretty mature and prepared to be a wife and mother. But when I hear about other young couples I am always slightly shocked.
16. I love to listen to music and to stay current. I DVR VH1's Top 20 Countdown and am always listening for something new. I like all kinds of music but I probably prefer what is classified as adult alternative.
17. I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers. I am the second oldest.
18. I took ballet and jazz dance lessons for several years (8-14 yrs old maybe). I once dreamed of being a choreographer and used to shock my mom by dancing like the Solid Gold Dancers. (Remember that show!)
19. I am a terrible actress and am never comfortable in that kind of role. I enjoyed being a cast member in a few musicals in jr high and high school though!
20. I am jealous of people who can go running. I started to have problems when I was about 17 because of shin splints. Many years later and in pain way past simple shin splints, I was told that the way my legs and feet are constructed, this will always be a problem. I can only walk pain free if I wear really good shoes, walk on very flat comfortable surfaces, and walk very sedately and not very far. Major bummer.
21. I almost never wear heels (see #20 above).
22. I used to really like roller coasters. (It's been a few years!)
23. I really don't like long car trips with the family. Sorry, kids, I like you better in bigger spaces and smaller doses.
24. I liketo laugh and enjoy people with a quick and quirky sense of humor. My husband's irreverent humor is one of the things that initially attracted me.
25. I don't like forwarded inspirational emails. But if you forget and send one to me, I won't be offended. Just don't be offended when I delete and don't reply.
