36. I don't like public speaking, and will avoid it at ALL costs.

73. I have never driven to Salt Lake, don't plan to and haven't driven past north Ogden. Good think I have an awesome Hubby who enjoys driving.
74. I am too blunt.
75. I say rude things, without meaning to. I offend many, usually my family who knows how I am and are easy to forgive.

82. I hate swimming. I dont like it at all. I never have and never will.
83. I am clumsy, I have fallen down our stairs about 5 times now. I cracked my tailbone and broke my ankle doing this. Dave is usually present to witness this and thinks it's hilarious.
84. Dave and I go to bed together every night, at the same time. We made a pact that we would always do this when we were first married. I get angry when he wakes me up after Ive fallen asleep.. but I'm still glad he does it.
85. I don't like people touching my knees. I don't know why, but it grosses me out.

89. I LOVE board and card games! So does Dave, but we can never find anyone to play with us.. WE MISS YOU RYAN AND BROOKE!!!
90. My favorite thanksgiving food item is yams. But only the ones my mom and grandma make. I HATE canned yams, and HATE when people put marshmellows on them.
91. I never really appreciated nature and its beauty until I met Dave. He opened my eyes to lots of things! I didn't know what an Elk, pheasant or antelope was pre Dave.
92. I love my parents. My mom has taught me all I know about being a good mother, cook and cleaner. No one can clean or cook like my mom.
93. My dad is also a good example to me. He never swears, has a mild temper and is always quick to apologize (something I struggle with)
94. I have only cursed twice in my life. Both times were at Dave and this year :( I repented.
95. I love my inlaws. My mother in law has MS and is such a good example of enduring to me. She never complains.. I could do a whole post on her. I just love her... She did a phenomenal job raising her 5 kids.
96. I LOVE doing little girls hair. Who knows if I will ever have a daughter of my own.. for now it's the neighbor girls and my nieces!
