Yes, I have been tagged. By like 5 different friends. And I just keep putting it off, but I'll join the throngs. Six things about me you might not know:
1. My daughter Taylen and I were born at the same hospital--Madison Memorial in Rexburg! My mom always told me horror stories about my birth and how horrible the hospital was. Who would have guessed that 23 years later I would be back there giving birth to my own baby girl! Luckily for me Rexburg has caught up with the times (at least as far as birthing babies is concerned) and I had a great experience there. We even got a steak dinner, complete with sparkling cider, as a congratulations from good old Madison County!
2. I have never had a cavity. That's right folks. I'm a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to brushing my teeth. In fact, a few years ago my dentist said that I brush too much and too hard and my gums were receding as a result of my oral cleanliness enthusiasm. I actually left the dentist's office with an order to NOT brush my teeth as much. Ha ha. Getting a filling is one life experience I would be happy to live without.
3. I love McDonald's. My husband is disgusted by this, but I am not ashamed. I'll shout it from the rooftops. My favorite thing is the little cheeseburgers. They remind me of going to the beach when I was younger...we used to always stop on the way home and get cheeseburgers and water :) Now that I'm older and more mature, I force my daughter to go to the playplace so I have an excuse to eat the food. "No honey, Taylen really wanted to go...I promise..."
4. I used to cheer at BYU. Not just in the stands...I was a BYU cheerleader. That's right, hard to believe, I know :). Some of you know this about me, but lots of you don't. It feels like a lifetime ago. It's weird that something that was such a big part of my life, and such an identity of mine, is now something that's tangible only in pictures. I am happy that we can move on in life, but sometimes I miss going to practice, learning new stunts, dropping things over and over until the one time you finally hit it, being in front of thousands of screaming people, and just how carefree and fun that whole life was. Ah, college. Now I wipe poopy bums, walk around with spit up on my clothes, and fall asleep trying to watch a 7 o'clock game on TV. ha ha. I love being a mom, and I'm so happy to be where I am, but sometimes I like to remember...
5. My favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Not much else to say about that...
6. I can sing with my mouth closed. As in, close my mouth, puff my cheeks up with air (which looks ridiculously cool, by the way :), and you can really understand actual words. For those of you who've been lucky enough to witness it personally, consider yourself blessed. For those of who haven't, your time may come. I'm not as loud and crazy as I used to be (for those of you who think I'm loud and crazy now, just think how I must have been in my wilder days :), so it takes a lot more persuading to get me to do it. But if you really want to experience the glory personally, a tub of Cherry Garcia just might do the trick...
And I want to tag Suzannie Bo Bannie, Requel, ScoSchro, Lonoser, Rachel Ruff Ruff (that's you, Mrs. Barker, in case you didn't get my code name), and Mike and Julie and anyone else who wants to participate. I don't think any of you guys have done it, yet...

HAHAHAHAH!! I can remember being up in Park City at the "SafeStone Retreat" and you singing with your mouth closed! That's what won Brad wasn't it??? HAHA! Oh man, how fun was that. Remember when we were all set to jet off to NYC for the weekend, but Brad had to ruin it for us by coming home? I do miss the crazy old day's but I'm too, so excited to be a mom...
i miss our 5 hour visits at mcdonalds! what would we do without playplaces??!
best post ever. of all time. love it. and i love the cheeseburgers too. so does mom. it's a family tradition that cannot be messed with. :)
Dang you, I got tagged twice this weekend. Maybe I'll get around to it. I had to laugh at your McDonalds obssession because I too love McDonalds and when I was pregnant with Payton, I seriously would be in line waiting every morning at 10:30 to get a cheeseburger, back at noon, and twice before bed because it was all that I could eat and keep down. Surprisingly, I still love them! Anyway, with 3 years living together, I'm sure nothing I post will be of surprise to you, but I'll do it anyway... Love ya even with your perfect teeth.
How did I never witness your talent of singing with your mouth closed back in the BYU days?
