About Me

  1. I am very tall. 5’11 to be exact. Don’t tell my husband though, he thinks I’m 5’10.
  2. I LOVE homemade chocolate chip cookies.
  3. I was hit by lightning at 12 weeks pregnant. Really.
  4. I love being a mom.
  5. I hate the word pamphlet. Please don’t.
  6. I played D1 volleyball at Weber State (“Weee-brrr”).
  7. I was a starter for 2 years and a spectacular bench warmer for 2 years. In that order.
  8. I am taller than my husband.
  9. I love European history.
  10. One time my husband and I saved 14K under 12 months on 50K salary.
  11. I once found and booked $179 RT tickets to Ireland for the hubs and I.
  12. In 6th grade I was 5’10.
  13. My husband lost his brother to suicide.
  14. My husband owns and runs a kick-butt non-profit called “Suicide Sucks.”
  15. My first car had over 300K miles on it. Her name was Bertha.
  16. I cried when we sold Bertha. We don’t name family cars anymore.
  17. My mom surprised me with a trip to China in Jr. High. I cried.
  18. I get really ornery when my husband is late getting home from work. I love him.
  19. My mom used to check me out of school to go boating. #coolestmomever.
  20. My dad once bet me that I couldn’t jump rope 20 minutes a day for 30 days. Day 30 I was on a plane bound for China, so it was a draw.
  21. “What are we going to talk about???” is a very common thought for me.
  22. I’ve fallen off a ski lift.
  23. My mom put my sister and I in charge of the pet rabbit when she went to Europe. It died… :/
  24. I hate spiders.
  25. I’ve loved being active my whole life.
  26. I’ve also loved chocolate my whole life.
  27. I seriously lucked out with the best grandparents in the world.
  28. JR Smith broke my brother’s sternum… that’s really his claim to fame but whatever.
  29. I met and was married to my husband within 7 months.
  30. I’m forgetful.
  31. I once got fired from a job in high school for “not being able to think outside the box.”
  32. I love dogs. I would absolutely love one that didn’t eat, poop, bark, shed or smell.
  33. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
  34. Most of my favorite memories are on a boat, on a lake, somewhere.
  35. I am a retired Subway Sandwich Artist. It takes all of me to wait in a long line when I know I could get that thing moving in a flash.

  37. While I was on crutches, I put them down on the white paint of a crosswalk on a rainy day and totally ate it in the middle of an intersection.
  38. I get cold sores when i’m stressed. And I mean cold sore(s)… plural. One time I had 13 on my bottom lip alone.
  39. I had a soccer trainer tell me once to “Go play a sport where they needed tall people.” I ended up with a full ride volleyball scholarship.
  40. I delivered my third child natural. I believe any momma-to-be could do it.
