Weeks ago I was tagged by my beloved twin Kristie. I am just now getting to it. Here are 6 things that people don't know about me. However, I talk so much that I'm pretty sure that there are not that many things that people don't know about me, but I'll give it a shot. Hope you enjoy.
1. My pet peeves are when I get passed on the right in a non-existent lane when I am already going about 7-10 mph over the speed limit (this has only happened to me in Buffalo); when the dishes have piled up and Jeff doesn't have a cereal bowl to eat his breakfast in, so rather than washing one and being a part of the solution, he grabs a mixing bowl and a serving spoon to eat his cereal in...then leaves the bowl on the mountain of dishes for me to wash; and last, but most certainly not least, when I go outside after precipitation has occured (pick your poison: rain, sleet , snow, "wintry" mix, etc) and the bottom of my jeans get wet. I then go inside only to take my shoes off and get my socks wet from my jeans! I change into dry-bottomed pants and let the others dry only to find that they have dried with a delightful little salt ring where the water used to be. I now have to wash two pairs of pants. Arghh.
2. My favorite show is One Tree Hill. You can laugh and gawk all you want, because I am not ashamed. Jeff also enjoys it...he may be ashamed. If I were Lucas, I would choose B. Davis to P. Sawyer. No questions asked. Those of you who don't OTH-it, I apologize. Though, I know there are many of you closet CW T.V. show fans and you know what I am referring to. This is a common debate between Jeff and I. I would also love to see all you Ravens fans come out of the wood work and help me out here.
3. I love to decorate and am fascinated by old houses and architecture. It may not be evident in my humble abode given our current economic status, but I truly do love to decorate. I am just as likely, if not more, to pick a home and garden magazine to read over an "Us Weekly" or magazine of that nature. I find it incredibly enticing and while I don't know if I am any good, I really enjoy learning about it.
4. I am deathly afraid of praying in public. This is crazy, but I would rather speak in church than pray. At least when I speak I can prepare what I am going to say! I usually have to pray before my prayer about what i should pray about and that I won't say something stupid. I must give an example. When I was in YW, I was asked to give the closing prayer to a stake youth fireside. In that prayer I was told to make sure to bless the refreshments. At the close of the fireside, palms sweating, mouth dry, mouth dry, I stepped up to the pulpit. The prayer started out well, but upon saying,"Please bless the refreshments that they wi--"
I can't bless that they will nourish our bodies, or give us nutrients that we need! They are refreshments. They don't have nutritional value! I finished the sentence with,"that they will taste good." Immediately the congregation fizzled with muffled chuckles. I started blushing and quickly ended the prayer. I was mortified, but able to laugh it off by explaining my train of thought to people when they commented on my prayer. I have since learned that when blessing refreshments during a prayer to say,"Please bless the refreshments," and then just STOP TALKING.
5. I'm pregnant.
6. Just kidding. I'm
really really not. But I gotcha didn't I?
Hope you enjoyed!
P.S. I tag Jeff (actually Jeff tagged himself), Krista
, Lauren, Stacey M
, Laura, Alesha, and...Kashann who I know said would not do it if she was tagged, but I know all of my fellow Buffalonians would die to hear 6 things from your life that we didn't already know. Kashann, I won't be offended you really don't want to do it, but I thought you were worth a shot! Love ya!
We have long ears!
They provide excellent sun-shades!
We like to stare at you and wonder what you are doing!
We love to play with kids!
We love kisses!
We love to go on walks!
And we love to run and play!
We like to babysit!
But most of all, we just like sleep
The other day my wife made me walk home from school while it was freezing. It was really interesting weather. The entire city was covered in a thin layer of ice. I seriously almost ate it eight times in the short 1/2 mile walk. Anyway, when I got home I had that same thin layer of ice all over my coat. The picture doesn't do it justice. I have really never seen anything like it. I 
During the Super Bowl, Max got so excited when the Giants sacked Tom Brady that he started jumping up and down on the couch. Unfortunately, his balance isn't as good as he thinks it is and he ended up reenacting the sack with Max as Tom Brady and coffee table as Michael Strahan. I needed to stay home and watch the Super Bowl...wait, I mean Perry, so Abby made up for making me walk home in the freezing ice by taking Max to the hospital. Had we known it was going to take FIVE FLIPPING HOURS to get his cut Super glued we might have just done it ourselves! More on this story to come later from Abby. 
They put him in this great straight jacket so he wouldn't touch his face while they were gluing. I think I've got a new product idea! "Having a hard time getting things done at the house because of your two year old? Try our new product and you'll be able to work for hours at a time!"
Max and Clem...Clem seems to look a bit more suspicious than loving. She's probably thinking, "OK, what are you going to do to me next?"
Perry loungin' around in her robe. Ah...the good life!
Happy baby.
Broody baby.
Max making Perry laugh.
The O.G. Nice hat son. You'll get a lot of ladies with that one. Max's favorite team is the Chargers (I had nothing to do with it, he picked them all on his own...I guess he knows talent when he sees it!). This is my very first Chargers hat from the early 90's.
This is our friend, Abdul. He came here from Ghana to go to school.
This is the self-proclaimed "Bob" (his real name is Weibo Si). He came from China to go to school. Sometimes when I start to think that Utah is far away and it's hard being away from my friends and family, I just think about these guys.
I wear the mohawk pretty well, don't you think? :)
Que tenga buen dia.
This is a little late, but what an exciting finish to the Super Bowl!! I was so glad to see the Pats lose! The Giants had an amazing defensive game plan, and it was nice to see their defensive coordinator get rewarded with a new contract. 
I just love her cheeks! She weighs about twelve pounds already but is only about 21 inches long! She has the shortest little legs! It is so funny! Anyway, I think this is my favorite little outfit. Gramma Char made the bow and gave her the boots. Gramma Meesha provided the cute top and leggings.
