You Better Do This People!

I thought this was SO much fun! I've left a few and would like the favor returned now. You are welcome to leave a memory of Q here too. He doesn't check this very often (or ever) but if you leave it I'll have him take a look. Here it goes:


1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

A Little About Me... How Fun!

Age on my next birthday: 26 (DISGUSTING! I HATE GETTING OLDER! Chels says I have a Peter Pan complex so here is my friend Peter as well)

Month my birthday is in: February (which works out perfectly because if I didn't get something I really wanted for Christmas my birthday is just around the corner)



A place I'd like to visit: MY DREAM! It always has been!



My favorite place: DUH! There is no where I'd rather be!



One of my favorite things: Painting, as in walls not canvases... seriously....



My favorite color: LIME GREEN! My bedroom is going to change to it soon, when Quenten least expects it. It's a good thing he's such a good sport!



My favorite food: ICE CREAM! Here's a shout out to my friends the Glazier kids. Go to the Murray or Jordan Landing Cold Stone if you feel like ice cream. Support some good ol' saints (as in latter day, it was funny in my head okay)



Least favorite food: Anything that smells like vomit. SERIOUSLY! I am very picky about stinky food, especially stinky cheeses. I had an OCD when I was little about my hands smelling. Cheese is one of the causes for stinky hands and so obviously I am freaked out by it. I like certain cheeses just fine, it's when you get into the exotic stuff that you're in trouble! Looking at the images of cheese on google was making me sick! I NEED TO WASH MY HANDS! YIKES!

My favorite flower: SUNFLOWERS! I wanted my wedding colors to be lime green and orange and to have sunflowers as the only flower, it didn't happen. My mom didn't think it was a good idea and since she was footing the bill I had no choice. I still wish I would have stuck to my guns though!

The city in which I live: Good old Murray (when I searched for Murray City Utah this is one of the pictures that came up and I just couldn't pass it up. I don't know what in the trash it was doing there)

Name of a past pet: Valentine! My love!

Nickname I have: Nut. Q is the first person who ever called me Nut. I love it! My other favorite is Maybe, that ones from Chels. She has always called me Maybe

College Major: Veterinary Technician

1st job: Babysitter. Thank heavens Chels and I always got to go together or else I don't think I would've lasted long....

A hope for 2008: Check the name of my blog.... This is a brindle English Mastiff baby. He will grow to be around 180-190 lbs! Look at how beautiful this baby is!

Now I tag: Meg Miller and Sarah... and anyone else who wants to have some fun! Here's what you do: do a google image search and choose an image from the first page after you answer all of the questions. I actually enjoyed myself with this one!

Random

So any of you that really know me will know that random things bring me the most joy. I love the unexpected (unless it has to do with something scary like a haunted house and then COUNT ME OUT!). I love meaningful surprises no matter how small, they just make me feel important.

Well, the last week or so I've just felt a little down and not like my regular self. Now, to make full sense of my story I'll tell you a little bit about Bill. Bill is Chelsea's boss. He was in Chelsea and Jesse's Murray ward when they lived in the Riv. We instantly made a connection with Bill's wife Jan, she is just like me and Chels in SO many ways so obviously we hit it off quickly. Then came the rest of the Rowley family. Chels was working somewhere else at the time and to make a long story short she ended up getting a job as Bill's assistant. Bill is one of my favorite people on this earth I dare say. He is just such a fun, honest, kind person and appreciates Chels and I for who we are. He is also one of the most RANDOM people I know.

On Monday I was at work (which is about 1 mile away from where Chels and Bill work) and the Fedex guy came in with an envelope for Meg Jennings. I LOVE to be called Meg but I let it come to people, I don't want them to feel like they HAVE to call me Meg. Anyway, I opened it up to find a donut smooshed to high heaven and a little not that read "Meg, Thinking of you!-Bill" Chels had told him a few days earlier that I was having a rough go of things lately and he decided to Fedex me a freakin donut. How crazy fun is that?! It totally made up for the mundane rut I've been in. I needed something random to kick me out of this funk. So, thank you Bill! You have no idea how much a gross smooshed donut and a little note meant to me. I truly appreciated it!
