Tag, I'm It!

I've been tagged by Amber, so here goes nothin'. The rules are, each player must post 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Here we go.

1. I love to run. If I go very long without running then I start to go crazy. It's a huge stress reliever for me. I ran through both of my pregnancies. I have a goal to do a marathon after each baby. So far so good, but it's definitely harder the more kids I have.

2. I don't have a creative bone in my body. My poor family. I've always really disliked doing anything like sewing, scrapbooking, etc. I think it's genetic because my mom said the first time she took me in a fabric store I started screaming and didn't stop until we left. So now I have a house that is barely decorated and I'm over YW camp. A calling that I think should never be given to the creatively challenged.

3. I have webbed toes on each foot. Jake and my siblings love to tease me about this to no end. I'm pretty sure I heard that Ashton Kutcher also has webbed toes, so they can't be that bad right? While we're on the subject of body parts....If you touch my belly button I double over in pain and want to puke. Strange I know. This amuses Jake to no end. He's now teaching the kids to touch my belly button.

4. I love to read. I'll read just about anything. I try to always be reading something non-fiction so my brain doesn't rot, but fiction is my top choice. I like mysteries and just about anything without bad content. Jake thinks I read too much and wants me to keep track of all of the books I read in a year. Whatever.

5. I remember numbers really well. You generally only have to tell me your phone number or birthday once and I'll remember it. Wish I could remember important things...I also have a thing for 5's and 0's on a clock. When I set my alarm I never set it for a 5 or 10, always for something in between. I just like to use numbers that aren't so commonly used.

6. A goal that I've had forever is to fly in a jet. You know, one of those air force jets that spin all over the place. I've been told that unless you marry someone in the airforce that will never happen, but I refuse to give up hope. So if any of you can help me with this, feel free.

Well, I hope you'll all still be my friends now that you know how crazy I am. Might as well lay it all out, right? I tag Tams, Christina, and Sherstine. Humor me girls!

Help!

This is a plea for help with young women's camp. Yes, I got the coveted calling (or something like that). Our theme is BOOT Camp (Building Our Own Testimonies). I know the location and that's about it right now. So I'm asking for ideas from those of you who have been involved in girls camp. What did you do for firesides? What are some cute fun things I can do seeing as I'm less than creative and cute. Any tips would be helpful. I know I can count on you all!

Ladies and Gentlemen......My Husband!

What is his name? Jake
How long have you been married? 5 blissful years☺
How long did you date? Dating? Are you supposed to date? We met in April, were engaged in June, and married in August. Not fast at all.

Who does the laundry? I do. Jake does quite well at getting things dirty though.
Who pays the bills? I do. Jake turned that over to me when he ran out of time to do everything. I think he also did it so he can blame me when something goes wrong.

Who mows the lawn? Usually Jake, sometimes I do if he’s busy.
Who cooks dinner? Me. Ugh!
Who drives? Jake
Who is more stubborn? Probably me, but we both have our moments.

Who is more sensitive? I am.
Who has more siblings? I do—4 sisters and a brother.
Who wears the pants? I say Jake does, he might disagree with that.

I tag Hilary, Tams, and Amber

Cutest Cowboy Ever

So for Christmas Zack memorized a cowboy poem and said it for my family. This is a link to it on you tube. I know there's probably a better way to do this, but I'm computer illiterate so this is all I can do. I highly recommend watching it because he's so darn cute. Enjoy!
