Day 1 of Carolyn

Day 1: Introduction, recent picture of yourself, 15 interesting facts....


Hello!  How is that for an introduction?  I am trying to do my life in 30 days.  Let's see if I can find 15 interesting facts about myself, shall we!

1- I love my Husband.  I find that he annoys me almost everyday.  But I couldn't imagine my life without him.

2- My kids amaze me everyday (x4)!  The things they say and do are a joy to me.  Even when at the time I wish they wouldn't say or do certain things.

3- I love my Brothers and Sisters.  I am grateful that some of my best friends are the ones I was lucky enough to be raised with.

4- I think the Uintah Basin is one of the most beautiful places in Utah.  Weird I know, it is a different kind of pretty.  It isn't a place that someone would look upon and be left breathless.  But it is HOME!  I feel a comfort and familiarity when I am there the that is beautiful to me.

5- I hate Vegetables!

6- I like the taste of fruit, but refuse to eat it because the texture makes my gag reflex come into play.

7- I am addicted to playing Mario Brothers on the Wii.  It's true.  I was awakened at 4:00 in the morning a couple weeks ago, instead of going back to bed.  I got up and played Mario until 7!  What has this world come to?

8- I miss my High School friends.  I am grateful that I have wonderful friendships that have lasted from my school days into my 30 somethings....

9- I love being in the Young Women's.  Sometimes I think I should be released so that my Wednesday's and less hectic, but I would probably feel so lost that I would show up at the church on Wednesday's anyway!

10- My Mom is one of my best friends.  I tell her everything.  I think about it now and I laugh, I hope that when my girls get older they tell me everything.  Just like I told my mom.  I also hope that I handle it as well as my mom did.  Never quick to judge, she just listened. 

11- I am thankful for my Dad.  Even now, as I am a parent myself, I find myself wanting my Dad's opinion on things.

12- I miss my Grandparents.  I loved them all.  I wish I had known them better (or at all). 

13- I am jealous that all Chrislyn says these days is "DA DA DA!"  Just once I want to hear her lovely voice say "MA MA MA!"

14- I have a hard time putting myself out there, leaving my comfort zone and making new friends.  I am never one to just walk up to someone and introduce myself.  With that said...when I do make a new friend they are some of the greatest!

15- I love the Gospel.  I love the joy that it brings to my life.

So there we are.  15 facts about me.  It was easier thinking of 15 then I thought!

I was a little surprised by #14. I have known you my entire life and have never noticed that. I'm the one that has been afraid to put myself out there. I always looked up to you and admired the way you could talk to anyone. I'm just in shock that our feelings over it are the same.
