Tagged by Ashley and Libby
It's always good to read the fine print:
My title is for the beautiful girls that tagged me in their blogs... since they were both pretty much the same tag... I decided to dedicate this to both of you and any other readers!
P.S. I pasted from Libby's since I only had to do 6 facts instead of 7! Sorry Ashley!
This is a different tag, so here are the rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 little-known facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog
Fact #1- I have a twin sister and a brother only thirteen months older than us. I often wonder how my mom did it. I definitely want to have at least four children but not that close together!
Fact #2- I started making Aaron (my husband) a scrapbook last Valentine's Day and I still haven't finished it! I really like how the pages have turned out so far, but I am not sure how much I actually like the process of scrapbooking. Maybe I will just start making cute scrapbook-ish cards for people!
Fact #3- My older brother is Aaron, My Husband is Aaron, One of my 5 sisters-in-law's name is Ashley. My brother and husband are both the firstborn child in their families. My husband's sister Ashley and I are both the second born children in our families. Okay so the weird part is that I honestly had the weirdest time calling my future husband by his first name while we were dating. I couldn't get used to it. It was definitely psychological and I was constantly aware of it, but I couldn't ever kiss him and say his name within the same hour or so. True story. I know I am totally weird.
Fact #4- Okay so if their were awards for dorkiest answers I would definitely win it for this one! Since elementary school all the way through high school we would always have teachers who would have us memorize poems and other random things. Well the dorky fact is that I can still pretty much recite most of them word for word... such as The Preamble to the U.S . Constitution, The Prologue to Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, all the states in alphabetical order, etc. If I sound proud of this, I really am not. It is the weirdest thing to me that they have engrained themselves in my mind for so long.
Fact #5- I love to travel, whether it's taking a road trip or taking a flight... i love almost everything about traveling. Being able to see places that have an interesting history or places that are breathtakingly beautiful to look at fascinates me. If I had more time and if Aaron didn't have such a tight schedule, I would love to travel more and see beautiful places around the world. I would love to visit as many temples around the world as I can.
Fact #6- This last fact would win the CHEESE award if there were awards for answers, but since there aren't... here goes... When I met Aaron I told my mom after two weeks of dating that I knew that I was going to marry him. She told me to wait a couple of months and then I would probably really know. He exceeded everything that I could have ever hoped for in a husband and a best friend. Within a couple of months I had fallen madly in love with him and we were married almost exactly one year and one month after we met!
The following LUCKY winners have been tagged: (haha!!)
Carly, Britt, Melissa, Carrie, Becky, Kimberlee

too long
Okay so it has been way too long since I last posted... but I must say... IT'S NOT MY FAULT!! Our internet has been down for a whole week and before that ... well yeah I don't know what to tell you!! Okay so a lot has been going on in our lives, such as the Golf Tournament that Aaron had been setting up for months for school and of course Halloween. I even have some pictures from Teddy and Britta's wedding, which was a while ago, but oh well.
(picture above) My hot Husband in his golf attire!
Life has been busy and I am certainly so excited for the three day weekend that starts tomorrow at four o'clock (when I get off work). I am also counting down the days until we get to go relax in Tahoe for Thanksgiving. It is gonna be a blast... and definitely worth the wait! I can't believe the holidays are pretty much here. You can't even go in a store now without seeing decorations everwhere! ILOVE IT!! I need some creative, yet inexpensive gift ideas now! If anyone has any just feel free to throw them out there! Okay so here are some recent pics:
(picture above) My hot Husband in his golf attire!Some friends from our ward! Jeff is a 1st year dental student and his wife Klisa is in nursing school. They are so much fun. Klisa and I drove around like crazies all day in our golf cart!
A pic in the golf cart!
Lauren, James, Mom and I at Teddy and Britta's wedding!
We were all looking different directions.
Teddy and Britta's reception! Looking worn out from a long week! Here is my sweetie!
I will have to post some Halloween pics when I get another chance to upload them, but Aaron needs to use the desk to study so I need to end this! Sorry we are pretty boring! xoxoxoxo!
P.S. I know I have been tagged by you Ashley, so don't think I am ignoring it... that will come in my next post or two!
P.P.S. Has anyone seen Dan in Real Life? We did!! Very cute family movie... not to mention I love Dan/Michael Scott (<--from The Office)!!
