tag.. six things about myself

When I got tagged I really didn't think I could think of six things that people might not know about me. But after some thought I came up with these....

1. Growing up I would always say I wanted to marry someone who was quite a bit taller than me but also came from a short family. I thought my girls would have some hope being normal. Don't get me wrong I love being tall but 6.0' is plenty tall. Anyways, Drew is 6.6' and the next tallest person in his family is 5.9'. With our luck our boys will get the short genes and the girls will end up being 6.5' which will be great.

2. I'm a home body. I haven't always been but since we only have one car I have become one. When the weather is nice Mac and I take walks, and spend a lot of the day outside, but never venturing off too far from home. Whenever Drew gets back from school I say," I really need to get out of the house." Once we are gone for about a half and hour I'm ready to go back home leaving Drew utterly confused.

3 .My only regret in high school was not playing volleyball. My mom will love hearing that. She tried to get me to play but I was way too involved in soccer. Drew has got me to love volleyball. While dating we played sand volleyball with his friends and now every week we get together with a group and play. I love it.

4. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people leave lights on in empty rooms. I think I get this from my dad. I feel like I go around following people from room to room turning off lights behind them.

5. I love dancing and singing when I'm home with Mac. I have no rhythm and anyone who's heard me sing knows I'm tone deaf but that doesn't stop me from having daily dance parties and singing throughout the day. I'm just worried about the long term effects on Mac.

6. I love love to travel. I love experiencing new cultures, seeing new things, and trying new foods. Ever since I was little my parents have made it a priority to show us the world. When we were younger our trips weren't exotic, it consisted of mostly California road trips and camping in Southern Utah (which I loved). As the years went on our vacations got further and further away from home. Some of my fondest memories are from road trips and vacations we took as a family. I'm grateful for these memories and the sacrifices my parents made to bring us along even though it probably would have been cheaper, more fun and relaxing without all us kids. Thanks!!!

Thanks Ash! It was fun to read those and I wish I were there dancing and signing with you! I know how well you dance and sing and I am sure we could come up with some awesome duet!

I loved your list! You are so funny. I too seem to follow my boys around turning off lights!

I love that you talk about height in your family too and laughed at the girls being 6.5'. We'll see how our kids turn out. I think Kaitlyn will be 6 feet and Brynn will be 5' 7". That goes for Josh and Matt too. My twins will never really looks like twins!

I wish I had some of your athletic ability. You would have been awsome in volleyball or soccer.

Thanks for sharing!

Anyways When you move back to Utah we will have to play some volleyball. I love it so much! It was funny I tried out my senior year with no experience at all.....Yeah long story short that was Kristen Richards senior year and they had 8 seniors and they took state. Otherwise Angie Roberts said she may have given me a chance....Ha ha
