10 Things About Me

1.  I really like peanut butter. I have eaten it almost every day for the past three years. When I don't have it I feel like I'm missing something that day. Lately I have happily switched to the "natural" kind. Seeing all the sugars and oils in the normal versions makes me gag. I know they are cheaper, but I don't need all that extra junk. Just give me those ground up peanuts!

2.  I have lived in Australia. I moved with my family when I was 13 and we were there for almost 4 years. It was a beautiful and wonderful place. Unfortunately I was too moody and selfish to really appreciate it.

3.  I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I love it! I know it is the true and full Gospel.

4.  I love horses. I suppose I am an "animal lover" by definition, but horses have always been on the top of the list. I clearly remember getting all the horse books from the library as a child. Horses are cheap in Australia and my parents were awesome enough to get me one (or two :). I learned to ride English style. I loved the whole experience but will be the first to admit that I did not live the experience to the fullest. We moved back to the States and I found a job at a horse barn. I learned allot.

5.  I have been using Yoga and Pilates as pain management. Since my epidural headache from having Evelyn, I still have trouble with back and head pain (and or pressure). Thankfully it has become more of an annoyance than an all out pain, but without stretching, strengthening, and relaxing, that situation is quickly reversed.

6.  I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science, Pre-Physical Therapy. Obviously my intent was to become a Physical Therapist, but we know how things change with motherhood.

7.  With that education I was able to dissect a cadaver. Yes, it's true, I have seen the insides of the human body first hand. Another amazing experience that I wish I had appreciated more. Can I name all muscles and functions of our body? No, I need to brush up on my anatomy.

8.  I would say that 'singing' is one of my talents. Although singing in public without making a fool of myself is not.

9.  I used to make tiny teddy bears. We're talking maybe 2 inches tall, with moving arms, legs, and head! They were amazing! And of course I gave them away as presents and have none for myself. They looked like this.

10.  I have two of the cutest and best kids in the world! Plus my husband is hot and awesome. :)
