7 things you might not know! Jill tagged me!

I finally got into Jill and Zeke's website and she tagged me. At first I wasn't going to do it but after thinking about it I thought this might be fun.

1. I read magazines from the back to the front. I don't know why I just do!

2. I love summer storms with lots of thunder and lightning. I get so excited when the dark clouds come rolling in over the mountains and how ominous it looks. It just feels cozy to me. I also love the smell of the rain. I like to keep a bit of a window open to smell it if it's not pouring in.

3. When I am super stressed all I need to do is go for a car ride with music blaring. The combination of the beautiful scenery and the music help me to unwind and get my head back.

4. I could be a perfectly happy country girl or city slicker. I love the peace and quiet of the country. The wind blowing in the tall grass, the mountain in the background. I also would love living in an urban chic loft over looking a beautifully huge city skyline. In Calgary where I grew up I kinda had the best of both. It was called nose hill a huge field but bigger. While sitting in the tall grass I could look out and see the whole beautiful downtown skyline. Especially at night, all those light are so beautiful. I miss it. Canada's city's have much bigger downtown's than most of the U.S. city's do.

5. I am a project person. I like to do things I can see immediate results ie: painting, making something, rearranging things. I can't start a project without finishing it that day. I also need a project like that a couple of times a week. I love projects, one's I can do all by myself. I'm to impatient to wait for help. I usually learn a lot by doing it myself. You have to just figure it out.

6. I have never pooped in a public bathroom ever! I hate public bathrooms and will hold it for as long as needed. I will use the temple bathrooms if I really need to but no where else. Even when we would go to Boise to see Brent's family when I was pregnant I wouldn't drink so I wouldn't have to stop to go to the bathroom. I'm a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to toilets.( I know you all wanted to know that)

7. I love almost all kinds of music. Mostly the stuff your teenagers listen to. I have never outgrown it. I'm almost 35 maybe when I'm 40 or 50. My favorites right now are No Air by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown andTake your there by Sean kingston. Another mellow one is Carrickfergus by Celtic women. I just like it all loud!!!!

Holy Crap!!!!!! (really)

Every home we have ever owned has been a corner lot. The down side to this is all the dogs that like to use our yard for there bathroom. Anyways the other day all the snow melted and I could count 15 poops on one small patch of grass. Anyways my neighbor across the street who has a dog puts the poop on the road. So I decided to do the same for fear my garbage can would over flow. Anyways I was hoping all the dog owners would see all the poop and maybe keep them fenced. You will notice if you click to enlarge the photo below all those bums on the road are poop from my yard and that is only part of it. Yuck!!!!!!!!

Yes, a new post!!!!!!!

Brent and I at Christmas with the whole family doing picture. We were bad this year and didn't do Christmas pictures or letters maybe you'll get a summer one? This year we have been married for 15 years. Crazy huh! Just look at all the grey hair I'm giving him. All us siblings!

All the in laws, I thought this was such a cute picture! We just need to see Spencer's face better!

Sorry guys it's been a while! Yes, really busy but more than that we need a new home computer. Two weeks ago we got a call from the stake that both Brent and I needed to go meet with the Stake pres. When we got to the lobby the whole stake pres. was in the lobby waiting for us. A little nervous yes. They invited us back to President Christensen's office and we sat down. President Christensen said," we'd like to extend to you a release as bishop of the 9th ward" and was totally quiet for about 20 seconds or so and then said,"now that you've had some time to bask in that light we'd like to extend to you a call to serve as the bishop of the new Quail hollow ward." To be honest I was very relieved. I wasn't ready to give up those blessing yet. It does mean that the five years will start over again. Seven years of Blessings. There couldn't be a better time, teenagers,PhD and new job. We need the blessing now more than ever. When Brent is released Jordan will be 19 and off on a mission. Crazy to think that in five short years Jordan will be 19, Cassi will be 18, Jess will be16, Sydney will be 14, Ethan will be 12, and Sicily will be 10. I tell you life is sure speeding up. It seems when the kids were all little that life was like groundhogs day the same stuff everyday, I couldn't even pee by myself. Now everyone is in school all day except Sicily. It's just crazy how fast life is going.

I am going to try and find some pictures to post also. I will try to stay ontop of this blog better. Sure love you all.
