25 Random Things

About Me, because everyone else is doing it.

1. I absolutely love being a mother. All the smiles, giggles, snuggles, and kisses make handling even the most difficult/colic/ultra-sensitive baby completely worth it.

2. My right ear is smaller than my left.

3. Two weeks after I got my license I was side-swiped and t-boned by an 18-wheeler and totaled my first car.

4. When I was in high school my step-dad had me memorize a lot of things like poems, The Family Proclamation, a book of sign language, the temples of the world, etc. At the time I hated it but I'm grateful now because I can memorize things so easily.

5. Since Joe and I have been married we've lived in four states and moved five times.

6. I have always wanted 12 kids, and maybe I still do...

8. I taught myself how to play the basics of piano and begged my mom to get me lessons.

9. When I was a kid my family had a rottweiler named Harley. After my dad passed away, he thought he was in charge and would try to keep me in line by biting my ankles and stealing my food.

10. When I was six I fell down the stairs in my sleep. I didn't wake up.

16. I once went on three dates in one day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. They must not have been very wonderful though because I can't remember who I went with.
