100 things about me part 4

75. I love candles. Candles around a bathtub, candles at dinner, candles to scent my house, candle light dancing, etc., etc.
76. I love romance, and I am talking about the sweet clean beautiful romance. Like Pride and Prejudice. Those romantic moments that make you melt but don't make you feel dirty for watching them.
77. I love real life romance as well, things like dancing to our own music half way through doing the dishes, or picnicking at the waterfall up Sundance canyon, or stealing loving glances over our children's heads as they chat with us about their day.
78. I hate politics. Really, it fascinates me except that I see things that are so wrong and I can't do anything about it and then I get really fired up so I choose to ignore what is going on instead of being ornery.
79. I hate the news for the same reason.
80. TV bores me and yet I watch it anyway. I used to have a lot of favorite shows but time and raunchiness has changed things. My favorite show is now probably HGTV's Design Star.
81. I love old shows like Perry Mason, Matlock, and Columbo
82. M-I-C, see you next time, K-E-Y, why because we love you, M-O-U-S-E. Ah, the good old days.
83. I think I was born in the wrong era.
84. I am the oldest in my family and the 4th. Complicated story.
85. If I could live anywhere I would live here. Ok, maybe not right here but across the freeway in American Fork, but I love Utah.
86. I love Hello Kitty! Probably has to do with my want as a child that I never got, but nonetheless, Hello Kitty is still cool in my book.
87. I love gum!!! In fact, I have a serious addiction to popping my gum. The other day in church I got the look from my daughter because she could hear me popping my gum from the row in front of me. Oops!
88. I love shoes. If I was to say I had one area that shows my rebelliousness it would be shoes. Just look at my feet sometime at church. Nylons? Nope. Sassy Heals? You bet. I am working on that.
89. When I was a child I loved climbing trees, the big oak trees in my backyard were my favorite.
90. I also used to collect rocks.
91. I mourn for my children's loss of freedom to be children. When I was a child we would spend all day everyday exploring the acres upon acres of fields, hills and streams in my backyard. I wouldn't dare let my children roam like I did.
92. I fry in the sun. Have you heard the term red as a lobster? Yep, that's me. 1 beach, 10 hours, limited sunscreen...got the picture yet?
93. I didn't have a real job until after I got married. The only thing I did to make money was to babysit which was few and far between the older I got.
94. I didn't dye my hair for the first time until 2002. I thought Mark would die and instead he LOVED it!
95. My hair is currently au natural. People ask me all the time if I have died my hair but nope, it just does it's own thing.
96. I only wear mascara most of the time. Ok, and a little lip gloss.
97. I love fake nails!!!
98. I am considered the rebel in my family.
99. I love my husband, I love him, I love him, I love him.
100. Fiber 1 bars give me gas. :o(

2009 Family Pictures

We had the funnest silliest adventure today. We decided that since Rachael's braces are off and Mark and I have lost a few pounds that it would be a great time to take our family pictures. I have seen some really cool looking pictures done at the salt flats so we took a drive out there. Yep, 2 hours later, after making a 20 min. past our destination detour, having to stop at the only gas station in the middle of nowhere for a bathroom trip, and just as the sun was going down over the mountain we pulled up. The couch was very quickly unloaded and then in a very hasty 10-15 min. We sat, posed, and pushed the button to take our picture over and over again. It was such a good time with all of us laughing and enjoying every minute of the warm light and family bonding. Please note that these pictures are straight out of the camera and I have not edited them yet. Even with that being said, I LOVE them!!! It is just what I was envisioning. Once editing is done I think they will be quite ...

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

A Story Good Enough for Halloween?

I have a story to tell. I should have told it a month ago in preparation for Halloween but alas, I didn't think to write about it until tonight. So, if you are ready for something spooooky then sit back and enjoy. When I was a little girl living in Northern California my parents chose a house for our family to live in that was, at first inspection, perfect for us. It was a traditional English Tudor style, 2 story house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, large pantry, and a large kitchen/eating area. There were large picturesque windows in every room that looked out over the vast undeveloped rolling hills that were right out our back door. The house was surrounded by large oak trees and a quaint brick path that led from the street up to our doorway. Our family was happy there. One bedroom for the girls, one bedroom for the boys, an office for dad, and a large master bedroom for our parents. Everything was perfect except for one major factor. There...
