So, Amy did a "100 things about me" post and it looked kind of fun and was fun to read so here I go...more than you ever wanted to know about what goes through my mind.
1-I am almost 31 years old (and its kind of creepy)
2-I don't feel that old...or look it
3-My age has always been deceiving
4-I was turned down to get a sample at Maceys grocery store because they "cant give samples to kids" ...I was 30 years old.
5-I was ID'd on my honeymoon when we stopped in Vegas
6-I think I deserve a honeymoon retry
7-I got sick and then was allergic to the meds they called in
8-We just got in the car and drove straight home from the San Diego Zoo
9-It looks like I'll have to wait...maybe until the kids are grown
10- I have two beautiful little girls. Rylie-3 and Saige-2
11- I absolutely LOVE being a mom
12- I must admit that right now I am content with just the girls...I love the ages they are right now.
13- I want to have another baby but right now I am being selfish and I want my own body and my freedom to go play with the girls whenever I want...without worrying about diapers and bottles etc.
14- I love that I can get my baby fix with my cute nieces and nephew...Drew, Hallie, & Brighton. They are so cute!
15- I'm only on 15 and I'm already a little bit sick of trying to think about "me"
16- I love my husband more than anything
17- I can't imagine my life without Evan and the girls
18- Evan and I met a week before he got his mission call. We went to high school together but didn't know one another. Evan swears that we had lockers next to each other our senior year. I don't remember though.
19- We share a lot of the same friends...from different perspectives in high school
20- I admire that Evan is an awesome friend...he has long time friends that respect and admire him
21- I attempt to play coed soccer with Evan and some friends
22- I have played for 2 years and scored 2 goals...well technically 3 goals but one was for the other team (oops) so maybe it evens out to just one goal
23- I have never played any sport in my life...until now
24- I secretly love to play, even though the team might prefer that I move on.
25- I love that my mother-in-law is so great to watch the girls which allows us to play
26- My mom & Dad moved to Oregon last year...I really miss them. Much more than I ever thought.
27- I sometimes think about how my kids will feel about me when they are my age...I hope we continue to have a good friendship...I talk to my mom almost every day.
28- I wish I had a lot of money....I don't need a lot of things but it would be nice to not think about where we'll get the money for this and that.
29-I love my new job.
30- I just finished hair school....It took me 2 years. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
31- I secretly wondered if I even liked it any more when I finished school.
32- I am amazed at how blessed we are...I have been fortunate enough to work in a friends salon in her house.
33- I love that I can set my own hours and work when and if I want to.
34- I love the feeling of making others feel good about themselves...its the best to hear that they really love their hair when I am done.
35- I really don't enjoy talking on the phone...I much prefer IM
36- I have found that I am addicted to blogging and am always excited to see new comments
37- Evan is sitting in the other room, working on his computer while I write this entry...we IM and we are in the same house....sad but true.
39- I grew up in Oregon.
40- I miss the ocean and the trees but most of all I miss being close to family not necessarily physically but we have grown apart since then.
41- I love to go fishing...I caught the biggest salmon on our last trip.
42- Someone around us must have a pond...I can hear frogs. It makes me think of my Aunt Dottie's pond. We loved to catch the frogs when I was a kid. I also remember the loudest frogs I have ever heard while I was on my mission.
43 - I served in the Florida Orlando mission
44- I loved my mission. I loved Florida
45- I cried when Evan wrote to me while I was on my mission.
46- We had lost touch while he was out (I stopped writing) and I didn't think to tell him that I was leaving on a mission.
47- My mom was really surprised to see him when he went to my house after he returned from his mission. He got home 2 months after I left
48- Ooops...I should have at least mentioned it to him. I got a letter from my mom, warning me that he might write to me. I received it a couple of days after I got his letter.
49- I am amazed at how things work out...my companion asked me if I thought I would ever marry that guy and I said no.
50 - I am so happy that he convinced me otherwise
51- I love being married...we've been married almost 7 years
52- We were married in the Timp. temple
53- Evan proposed to me there too...I wondered why his hands were so sweaty that night...I didn't know he had a ring in his pocket
54- I would love to have twins...twin boys would be good. I don't want to be pregnant two more times
55- I really love to work in my yard.
56- I never (rarely) let Evan mow the lawn
57- I admit that I much prefer "mens work" to "womens work"
58- I asked Evan if I could be in charge of the yard work and he in charge of cleaning...that didn't go over very well.
59- I like to take over when someone else (especially Evan) is working on something
60- I love the feeling of accomplishment
61- I wish I accomplished more on any given day
62- I would love to hire a maid so I could play with the girls all day
63- I guess I don't really act like I am 30 either
64- I'm scared of the dark...and being alone
65- I hate folding laundry...especially the whites.
66- I sometimes catch myself being exactly like my mother....it makes me laugh
67- I use some of her sayings...even though I have no idea where they came from or what they mean.
68- Its getting late and my mind is wandering
69- I painted only 3 of my toes because thats all you could see in the shoes I was wearing
70- I have started to find a new love for baking..I just wish I were better at it.
71- I watched a hockey game the other night...by myself. I have really gotten into hockey lately...Evan should be proud.
72- My favorite color has always been red...Pink has kind of taken over since having the girls.
73- I love to shop for my girls...hate to shop for myself.
74- Up until very recently, Evan has bought all of my clothes
75- I think I would like shopping better if I had a lot of money and everything were in my size
76- I am not a morning person. I hate being woke up...unless it is by the sun QUIETLY rising.
77- I wish I were more patient at times
78- I love to take a nap...Sometimes my last thought before going to bed is whether or not I will get to take a nap the next day...the answer is almost always "no"
79- I like to be super warm...I have a down comforter on my half of the bed. Evan hates to be warm so we compromise.
80- There is something about the feeling of a sunburn that I love...I also love the feeling of sore muscles after a workout...not that I actually work out.
81- There is also something very rewarding in just getting dirt under my fingernails and in my hair.
82- I used to clean when I was mad...not anymore, I wish I did...then my house would be much cleaner.
83- I am super excited for this summer...I love the hot sun
84 - the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays...It seems to mark the beginning of the summer for me.
85- I don't understand the desire to ski or snowboard because I can't get past the idea of doing it in freezing cold
***I'm too tired, its midnight...I'll finish in the morning***
86-Dr. Pepper and Pepsi are definitely my weakness
87-My favorite thing is to laugh with my girls...they are so funny.
88-I love a clean house...but I don't want to be the one to clean it.
89-I'm pretty sure that I am a pack rat...I don't save junk but I have tons of great things that I will never use. (Isn't that what they all say?)
90- Its time to have a garage sale...my girls have WAY too many toys. Its hard for me to get rid of them because they are all so cute.
91- I want to go on a road trip with no real deadlines. I would love to be able to take my time and enjoy the scenery. It always feels like we have to rush because we only have a week or so.
92- I want a lot of money so I could buy my parents a house that they don't have to worry about and keep them closer to us.
93- I currently have a million unfinished projects in my house.
94- I hate the sound of people cutting their fingernails...especially when they do it at church.
95- I wish I had more girlfriends...something about not loving to do girl things makes it hard.
96- My favorite rooms in my house are the girls bedrooms, they are decorated really cute.
97- I am really tired of diapers and I am not looking forward to potty training.
98- I REALLY HATE whining!
99- I think 3 year olds are harder than 2 year olds...3 is the new 2.
100- I am happy with my life.
Whew! That was a bit harder than I expected. But, I did it. I hope you enjoyed reading 100 useless facts about me...

I loved reading this...there was a lot I didn't know about you. And for some reason #78 made me laugh out loud and it scared Dallin. I think cuz I do the same thing!
I love this! I did one a long time ago and it was fun- I need to do another one. It's like a friendship shortcut.
I love to mow my lawn and prefer men's work to women's as well. Laundry is my nemesis, esp the folding. Love a clean house but have a hard time keeping it that way 'cause I just want to play with my girls all day. And I would totally go on a no deadline road trip with you- love road trips. It's funny that you are pretty sure you are a pack rat. I guess admitting there is a problem is part of the recovery.
Oh- and I would never have guessed you were 30. Ever.
I really love your sense of humor. Well I've always loved it because it's very similar to my own. This shows all sides of you I love it!!
I am sorry but I have to disagree with the 3 being the new 2. I hate Jackson being 2. However, I am ready for Hunter to be 4! I am impressed! I don't think I could do that if I tried!
I tried to think of 100 things too for my blog... I got to number 2 and couldn't think of anymore. LOL It was fun reading your 100. I laughed that you couldn't get a sample at Macey's because they thought you were too young. I would feel flattered if that happened to me.
Val, this was so fun to read! I am the exact same about the sound of nails cutting, it grosses me out. I can't believe they wouldn't give you a sample at Macys, that made me laugh so hard!
