I've been tagged...!

I was tagged by Nat! So I guess I am supposed to list 6 things about myself. Here it goes...

1. I am a total freak when it comes to making list and doing things very particularly. I will write several lists per day with things I need to buy, things I need to do, places I need to go, etc. Lucky for me the list is much longer during the Christmas season with all the gifts and all. When I have things to do or places to go I will do everything in perfect order so that at the end I can feel like I've accomplished something. A little OCD I think!...?

2. I am a CLEAN FREAK! I will spray down my countertops 2 or 3 times a day minimum even if nothing has touched them in between cleanings. Everything MUST be in it's perfect place in every drawer, cupboard, etc. That is a little OCD as well....haha. I think mostly I just want things to be perfect for Jake.


3. I truly love my life. I love my home. I love my husband. I love Mercedes. I love my family and I love all the friends I am blessed with! I look forward to the time spent with each and every one of them. I am incredibly proud of the life and home that Jake and I have made for ourselves. I feel so lucky to be where I am in comparison to where I came from and my childhood... I hope I never forget that!

4. Jake and I are planning on having kids in the next 2 or 3 years. But before we do...I want to TRAVEL my little booty off!!!! On the top of my LIST is Europe. I want to go to France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Amsterdam and England! I would love to travel the entire east coast--New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine. Then last but not least Hawaii!!! I want to see if it compares to The Bahamas...haha. Im not sure if that is possible but I'll just wait and see.

5. I'm planning on going to school for Esthetics. I've chosen a school in Salt Lake and I am going to go full time and be finished in 8 months. Those 8 months are going to be really hard because I will go straight from school to work and then bed without a second in between but once it's over then I can start doing something I love instead of sitting at a desk all day.

6. I appreciate people that make me laugh! There are a couple of people that I enjoy being around so much because how much I laugh when I am with them.

1. Chelsea--she and I have so many inside jokes and we laugh so hard when we are together. She is someone I can completely be myself with and just be silly if I feel like it. (xoxo, Love you Chelsrah ;)
2. Karen and Madison Warren-they are exactly like Lorelai and Rory Gilmore haha. Oh man, I love it!
3. Kim Marshall-she is Jake's sister-in-law. I only see her when we visit St. George or Moab but boy, it's a treat! Here is a visual--She's 6 feet tall with super long blonde hair. Her sense of humor is so dry and I enjoy every second with her.
4. My aunt Jen--she is my twin! Seriously. But in a lot of ways I would only be so lucky to be as great as her. Last night she was going on and on with some crazy hilarious thing that she was thinking and it would sound so bizarr to everyone else but I found myself thinking "I feel that way too!" Then I quoted Hot Chicks and said "Ling Ling, you forgot your Bling Bling" and she replied "Oh no Blong Blong, No go with no bling blong!" That is just so stupid that it's funny! haha love it! :)

Rules:
1. The player lists six facts about themselves.
2. At the end of the post, the player tags six people and posts their names.

I tag: Chelsea and Tiffany--since those are my only other blogger friends. haha!

We went to watch Kyli dance last night at the Festival of Trees. She was such a doll! She loves the spotlight. She's doing all sorts of things with this family that she would never be able to do otherwise. I love to see her happy and it was so good to see her again! :)

Twinner Jeans--haha!!!

Jake and I went shopping for Jeans and both ended up with the same ones. We're pretty cool, I know! ;)
Me and little boo boo! She was licking her face instead of smiling for the picture...haha

-BONSAI!-

We went out on a group date this weekend to Bonsai. We had a lot of fun..of course me and Chelsea were the only two that didn't catch the shrimp in our mouth. LAME! haha









Thanksgiving...


Our Thanksgiving was so beautiful and wonderful this year! We have a tradition to all go around the table before we eat and say what we are thankful for. Every year I get really emotional but this year even more because of the things Jake said. One of the things he said was that he was thankful for our house that I make a "home" and how nice I make it to come home to everyday.

Balancing Act!

Sadie seriously has the best balance. This is my work chair and it spins around. First she jumped from the floor to the arm rest and balanced (picture above). Then she jumped from the arm rest to the back of the chair (picture below). She should be in the Circus I tell you! :)
