25 random things...

hello,
being sick sucks. and i've been really sick for days. i just lay in bed all day. so i decided to do the new facebook craze, the list of 25 random things. i did it and now i am going to post it on my blog. because i want to.
1. I have an obsessive personality. My obsessions/addictions include Harry Potter, the Beatles, Batman, Dr. Pepper, and Kung Fu Panda
2. Ever since I was little I have always wanted to go to all 50 states. I blame this on my parents. We keep a count in my family. I am at 28, so I still have a ways to go.
3.When I was a kid I thought in the song I Am a Child of God that the words were “with parents kind of weird” instead of “with parents kind and dear”. (One more cute kid thing of mine- my first word besides “mama” and “dada” was “touchdown” and I would throw my hands up in the air. Yes I was dang cute. And my love for football started young)
4. I turn the spoon upside down when I eat ice cream. It's weird, and my mom thinks its disgusting. But it's a habit.
5. Most of the time my clothes don't match. I love tie-dye, plaid, and neon. My favorite article of clothing is sweatshirts.
6. Three stuffed animals sit on the corner of my bed. They are Polar Bear, Paco the Panda, and Bambi.
7. I don't like using public restrooms, but who really does. Anyways, when I have to I will only use an even number stall.
8. I secretly wish I had a musical talent. I regret dropping piano lessons when I was little. I really wish I could play the drums. But it would be nice if I could even sing.
9. If a word has multiple ms and/or ns in it I have trouble pronouncing it. For example when it was about to be the year 2000 I had to practice “millennium” for a long time. I still cannot say “aluminum”. And if I am not really thinking about it I will say “aminal” instead of “animal”. Just a few examples.
10. I love to color in coloring books. It's my favorite. (I'll mail you a picture if you want.)
11. I don’t like shoes. If I could I would be barefoot all the time. In the summer unless I am going to a public place I will not wear shoes. Even in the winter I will run to the mailbox or take the garbage out without shoes on.
12. My sisiter and I get the giggles bad. When we start we cannot stop. Some of my favorite childhood memories are us just laughing and I can't remember why.
13. I will not step on a manhole or anything of that sort. I will deliberately go out of my way to avoid. I will jump it, whatever it takes to not step on the death trap.
14. I love water. Swimming is a favorite pastime in the summer. Rain is one of my most favorite things. Slip-n-slides are a must during the summer. Days spent on the beach are the best days. 15. I get annoyed, probably too much and too easily, when people do things loudly when they could just as easily do it quietly… eating, drinking, walking, pretty much anything.
16. I like to do random things. My two best friends and I always end up doing random things. And that's when we have the most fun.
17. I love searching random facts on the internet, mostly about animals. I think animals are really cool when reading about them or if they are behind cages. But domestic animals scare me.
18. I love dirt. Nothing beats playing on a big pile of dirt.
19. I am terrified of windows at night. I have gotten better. But I still just don't look at them.
20. Big city life fascinates me, but I am a small town girl at heart. I don’t like big crowds and I get flustered in them.
21.I love amusement parks. The thrill of being on a rollercoaster is one of the best feelings.
22. I love movies. And I obsess over them (see #1). I will watch the same movie every day for weeks. I don't get to do this much anymore because I don't have time...
23. As the Beatles song says “I get by with a little help from my friends”. These words ring true in my life. I have a lot of best friends and I don’t know what I would do without them.
24. My family rocks…immediate and extended. If you don’t know my parents you should. They are the funniest and funnest people ever. I also have the two best little sisters anyone could ask for.
25. I am pretty much really cool. Probably one of the coolest people ever. And I like to talk about myself (as you can see). But, no worries, I am not conceited. :D
yep... i followed the crowd. i usually don't like doing those things. but it was fun. haha. anyways, i'm exhausted again. i don't like this sick thing.
good-bye

life happens

hello
so life is funny sometimes. some of those times i don't really find it funny at the time. but you have to live with it. for example i have taken my car into the shop 3 times in the last week and a half. funny? the first time it was good for a week. this is what happened. i was driving to orem to my cousin's house and it overheated. yipee do da day. my cousin and my two cousin's husbands nicely came and picked me up. i was so grateful to have family around to come get me when i was stranded. the next day my cousin and her husband picked me up and we went and got my car. my cousin's husband looked at it and tried to fix it. well it was still overheating so we took it into the shop. they called and couldnt get the car to overheat after they got an air bubble out from something my cousin's husband had been fixing. (i dont know that much about cars and dont retain the info people tell me) so they changed the coolant and the car was working. tuesday night i am getting into my car and the backseat door will not close. its just open. wow. my luck is so great. so i have to take my car in again wednesday morning. everyone besides me finds this hilarious. i do find some humor in it and i will find more later when it doesn't make me so upset. the things just keep getting piled on. but its okay because life happens.
good-bye

i get by with a little help from my friends...

hello
i am not going to lie, i have some pretty amazing friends. we have so much fun, but it's more than that. a simple night of food, games, and bowling was turned into one of the best nights. we started the night out with a good dinner at los hermanos. then we played harry potter clue (my new favorite game!) and nertz (my old favorite game!). we got a little competitive...okay i got a little competitive, but we still love each other. :) then it was off to bowling. a seriously fun game (or two) of bowling. i love my friends and am so grateful for them!

our bowling shoes!

the crazy girlsBFFs forever laughing is our favorite

life is so much better when you have great friends. and i am glad to say that i do have great friends. they really do help me get by... i couldn't ask for better friends. (cheesy i know ha)

still stuck on this traveling thing

I've been to 28 of the 50 states... a little more than half. I still have a lot to go, but I think its a pretty good start. One of my life goals is to visit all 50.
They are:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
I've been to 5 1/2 countries. (half because I didn't leave the airport but they still stamped my passport. I don't really feel like I can count it though)
United States (of course haha)
Canada
Mexico
Italy
Spain
Germany is the half

oh the places I want to go

I want to travel. Its my biggest dream. I want to go all over. See all the amazing places and experience many of the cultures of this world.
My top places I want to travel to:
England--most my obessions come from this wonderful country. (the Beatles, Harry Potter) also I am a history buff and there is so much history there.
New Zealand--the pictures I have seen look beautiful and there are so many fun adventures that could be had there.
Africa--I know its a huge dream, but I really would love to go on an African safari... I even looked up prices and things online when I was in high school
Those are just my top 3 places. But really I would love to go anywhere, especially right now...
I am ready for an adventure, a change... There are just a few things that get in the way.
