My 25 Things....

Well, I sat down to write a post about our awesome Las Vegas weekend vacation, but I realized that I don't have my camera and it would be nothing without pictures! So, since I have been "tagged" by Fallon to share 25 things about me, I'll do that instead and Vegas will just have to wait...

1. I love to read, but sometimes I'm slightly embarrassed of the things I like to read. Like currently, I'm reading all of the "Confessions of a Shopaholic" books by Sophie Kinsella. However, I also check the stock market and read almost the entire Wall Street Journal daily. That makes me feel a little better.

2. My mom is one of my best friends and I'm proud when people always tell me I'm a lot like her.

3. Vegetables are probably my favorite thing to eat (ok, ok... except when I am craving chocolate). But really, I love vegetables. Asparagus, zuccini, brocolli, etc. I love them.

4. I'm not good at being teased, and even though I know that I'm just being teased, I still get defensive. Because of this, teasing me is one of my dad's favorite thing to do.

5. Steven makes me laugh more, and makes me happier than I ever thought possible. We really are perfect for each other.

6. One of my favoite things to do is clean our whole apartment, put everything exactly in place, and then look at it. Steven thinks I'm crazy, but I like to have everthing "look nice."

7. I love to go shopping, but I'm a real bargain hunter. I get really excited when I find good deals.

8. Sometimes I like when people tell me that Steven and I look really young, but sometimes it actually bugs me. I'm sure I'll like it more as we get older, but I get sick of it right now.

9. I can't wait to have a dishwasher/air-conditioning/shower that has water pressure/toilet that flushes better, etc. I will miss a lot of things about BYU and Provo once Steven graduates, but the dumpy Provo student housing will not make the list.

10. I like to exercise, and I especially love that lung burning feeling you get when you exercise. Soccer, cycling, and running are my favorite.

11. I actually (its a shocker to most people) love tax accounting and I'm happy I picked a profession that suits me. I like figuring out hard problems, but my favorite part about it is helping people. That really motivates me.

12. I'm very non-confrontational and more agreeable than I sometimes should be. I like to make other people happy, but sometimes I say yes to something and then think, "How am I going to do that?"

13. I love pink.

14. I like to watch HGTV. I really like decorating and seeing how people decorate.

15. I'm really excited to be a mom. More than anything.

16. I enjoy taking multiple choice tests.

17. I worry about things more than I should.

18. I love working with the Young Women in our church. I had a lot of leaders that made a big difference in my life. Sometimes when I am teaching and the girls are giggling/talking/drawing pictures, I wonder if I'm making a difference at all. But, then I remember that I did the same thing and I still was listening.

19. I hate being dirty. That sounds really prissy and girly, but its true.

20. I love to travel. Now that I have seen Paris and Germany, which were the two biggest places on my list, I want to see Australia and New York City. And Brazil. If they will let us in the country.

21.I don't like not getting enough sleep. It makes me grumpy.

22. My favorite part of the week is Saturday night when Steven and I go out for dinner on our date night.

23. I am proud to be a Canadian. I'm also proud to be an American. And with that, I love having two passports. It makes me feel like I'm in the Bourne Identity.

24. I'm terrified of cats. Terrified. When I was five, I was bit by an alley cat, and I have honestly been scarred for life.

25. I love my family :)

Well, now I am supposed to pick 10 people to "tag" as well. But... I don't like putting pressure on people. Maybe that can be Item #26. So, feel free to fill this out if you haven't already. I would love to read!
