Six Quirky Things About Me

Six Quirky Things About Me:
Kamie Barrus tagged me with this one.

1. I loooove...I Love Lucy! I have all 9 seasons and I watch it when I am folding clothes, when there is nothing else on, or if I can't go to sleep, it is like a gentle lullaby for me. I think she is funny, but mostly I love the time period and the clothes (if only we could wear beautiful dresses everyday and hats and gloves). Also it doesn't hurt that Ethan loves her too. As soon as the music comes on he comes running from where ever he is and yells, "Are we watching Lucy Mommy?" I have to admit that I love that he loves it too and Matt thinks I have corrupted our child, but I think his future wife will love it!

2. When I read my scriptures it doesn't matter if I have studied for two hours and had a great spiritual experience, if I haven't read a whole chapter I have to read a chapter before I can put the Book of Mormon down. I know it's weird, but when I was 16 Brother Allison asked me to read a chapter out of the Book of Mormon everyday and I told him I would and now it's just habit. To be honest I always feel like I owe Brother Allison so much for helping me to see how much I truly love the scriptures and how much they have changed my life for the better. Thanks Brother A!

3. I love my little house. My house is I believe 850 square feet. For a long time I thought it was 900 square feet, but I have been corrected too many times, so I will go with the 850. After Matt graduated everyone kept asking us when we were going to move from our 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house, we were a little confused and would say move? maybe never...we love our house. It is old and has a million things that still need to be fixed, (especially the outside we haven't even begun to champion that one yet), but we still love our old house. I love that I can stand in the kitchen and see every room in the house. I love that I live on the same street as my sister and that Ethan sees his cousin's nearly everyday. I love that when I pay my house payment it doesn't break the bank. I love my old house and I hope to be here many more years.

4. I want to get a degree in finance or accounting. I love working with numbers. Since I was about 20 I have logged nearly every penny I have spent. I love the budget I created and I love to play with our money to get the top dollar in an investment or stretch a dollar as far as it can go. I would also like to take classes in photography. I would love to go on a long road trip just to get a great picture. I would love to know how to develop my own pictures and hang them all around the house. I never want to stop learning and growing.

5. I can't relax if there is a cupboard or drawer open. I am a little OCD about stuff like that and sadly Ethan has followed suit. If I am putting dishes away I have to close the doors as I go, where as Matt will leave them all open until he is done. Just a quirky little thing, but it just makes me think everything looks a little more tidy when they are shut. I won't even begin to mention all my other OCD challenges, let's just pretend it is only this one little issue.

6. I love to cuddle and I love it just as much now as I did five years ago, when we got married. I remember when I got married everyone told me that we would only cuddle for the first few months and then it would all cool down. I can honestly say that has never happened, and thank goodness, because whenever I am sitting next to Matt I have to be touching him in some way. Whether I am holding his hand, touching his leg, or arm I just have to have some contact. When we watch a movie I can hardly wait to cuddle on the couch and have him hold me. When we go to bed at night he always holds me until we fall asleep. There is nothing better than a good cuddle and luckily, my husband is good enough to let me snuggle up anytime, anywhere. As cheesy as it may sound I love him more now than I did then and every minute I spend with him, is better than the last...he truly is my everything. Also it doesn't hurt that both of my kids love to cuddle up too. Life just couldn't be better. I say kiss them and hold them as much as you can now and cherish every minute they want to be held...because who knows how long it will last.

Well I did it, now I tag, Stacey Myers, Corinda, Julie, and Cassie.
