I've been Tagged by "The Award"


"THE AWARD"

Here's a little about me... I don't usually do these...but i haven't posted in a while and i have some time while Graham is napping:


1. I am very short...only 5'2, but my husband is short too about 5'5. I wish he was taller sometimes, but secretly i love that he is short like me. It has lots of advantages...like: I never have to adjust the seat, steering wheel, or rear view mirror after he's been driving. My neck doesn't get tired staring up at him while dancing. We can fit in the same size shoe. And we can fit places that all you other tall people can't.


2. I'm addicted to reading. I haven't read a good book in a while...but when i get a good book, i would let everything go un-done and just sit on the couch and read it all day long! My favorite thing to do for a good book is go spend an hour or two looking for a treasure at a used bookstore. Old books have such personality.


3. I'm an avid blog stalker! i love finding people i haven't seen in a long time, or some people i've never even met and read their stories (NIE NIE being my most FAVORITE!!). You would never know how much i blog stalk/read by how much i update. [If i updated every time i got on to look at other blogs you'd see a post a day from me...maybe even two!!!] :)


4. Until i was about 12 i could never sleep over at a friends house...not because my parents wouldn't let me. I would get so freaked out and scared about being away from my mom that i would literally have an anxiety/separation attack and make myself so sick to my stomach that i would throw up. I would always end up calling my mom at like 2-3 in the morning and have her come get me. But that didn't stop me from trying. I always thought i could be brave and promised my mom i wouldn't call her in the middle of the night, but low and behold i would get so scared once it was time to go to bed and i just couldn't handle it and i'd break down and call...Sorry mom! ;(


5. I've wanted to be a million different things throughout my growing up years...some of which include: Marine Biologist at Sea World, Message therapist, police officer, firefighter, counselor, teacher, personal trainer (yeah that ones funny), and professional horse shower/trainer. Currently and for the past 4 years i have wanted to do dental hygiene. Lately i've been dreaming about going to nursing school and becoming an RN and working in the labor and delivery ward. Fun fun!


6. So i apparently am a little OCD. I love things organized and in their place. Even if it's an organized mess...at least it's organized. You probably wouldn't be able to tell if you saw my house on a weekly basis, but i had to give into some thing once Graham was born (He and his stuff have taken over my house). I was so bad that i wouldn't be able to go to bed if things weren't in their place. I would re-clean something that Isaac had just cleaned because it wasn't done just right...hence he has told me i'm OCD.


7. I am a football fanatic! But NOT NFL...ONLY college!!! Especially BYU football!!! This LOVE was rekindled when i married into the Bawden family. But i have always loved football. I remember my junior year in high school i loved going with friends and watching the game, but i didn't know much about it. So one night we were at the semi-finals for highland and i finally grabbed one of by good guy friends Brian Fleming and told him to tell me everything. Explain the game to me...i love watching it, now i want to know what is going on! So ever since then i've been a football lover! I've since then been even more in depth educated on the sport by my wonderful husband Isaac. We have so much fun when the season rolls around! I'm not talking like i just LOVE watching it either...Just to give you an idea, last season i had the whole offensive and defensive line-up and their numbers memorized from the BYU 08' team! (I bleed blue...GO COUGS...p.s.-only 42 days till kickoff!!! :)

Yeah! I'm glad you did it. It's kinda fun to sit back and see what you can think of about yourself when you take the time. I've been wanting to go back to Nursing school too. Elliott keeps telling me I should and he'll support me but I don't know if I can give up that much time from Porter. Maybe we can do it together.

Chels, you know I love you, and now being a mom you get a glimps of how much a mom loves her children. I secretly loved you calling me in the middle of the night when you'd give in and call home. I am ocd too for the love of my kids, there is nothing I wouldnt do for you , not in an obsesive way i just love you so much that it is my greatest joy to help and do things for you and with you. Now that love is multiplied with Graham what a precious little guy he is, who could think of a little baby bringing such joy and changing our lives like he has. I love to see Isaac and Grandpa M. and the boys with him those a sweet moments. You are a great little mama, you have been through alot with Grahambo, and you now know the love of a mom, there is nothing like it, when he is fussy and you are the only one that can calm him... isn't it sweet? This is my lifes dream to be a wife, mama, and now grandma. Dreams do come true.
