6 Random Things About Me

My sister Emily tagged me to list 6 RANDOM THINGS about myself, so here it is:

I thought it was cool how Rebecca, my sister, put pictures on her "6 Things", so I'm going to put some pictures as well, it makes it like a picture book!

1. I like to look for real estate property even though I can't really afford to buy any right now. Like this one:
$2,600,00000
CABIN PROPERTY NEAR SCOFIELD UTAH
Provo, UT 84604 - Feb 27, 2008
550 acres of beautiful, pristine mountain property located just 6 miles south of Scofield Reservoir; west of the old mining town of Clear Creek, UT, and bordering the Manti National Forrest. The property is covered in Pine and Aspen trees with gorgeous meadows and views. There are live springs and small streams throughout the property and it is zoned for mountain home development in Carbon County for multiple cabin sites. The land is prime and critical wildlife habitat, with abundant elk and deer. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are interested in preserving the property through a conservation easement. A conservation easement would allow the owner/donor to build a cabin on part of the property, to preserve the balance of the land for wildlife and receive some very attractive income tax deductions. This could be the perfect 1031 IRS tax exchange opportunity.


2. I love pizza, I love it!!!
3. I got a picture taken at work for my online profile a few weeks ago, and I'm going to post it here because I feel like it. 4. I think bears are fascinating creatures!

5. I want to have a big woodshop workroom someday and make furniture as a hobby.

6. I love camping and the outdoors!!! I bought a new tent at a huge discount since I was working at Emergency Essentials. I haven't used it yet, but I am WAY excited to use it this summer, Kim and I are going to go camping A LOT! I'm so lucky to have a wife who loves the outdoors and adventure!

6 random things

My sister-in-law Becca tagged me and I am supposed to make a list of 6 random things about myself. I in turn am tagging my mom to do the same about herself.
1. I love to cook, and I love to bake even more! But I do not love doing the dishes afterwards, so sometimes I do not make certain things because I imagine the mess it will create and don't want to deal with it. Horrible I know. I'll work on that. I'm sure it will be better when we have a garbage disposal and a dishwasher. :)
2. I get anxiety about everything! Even stuff that I want to do.
3. I used to be very into dancing and very flexible. I wish I would have continued to pursue it after high school but I got injured. Dancing has brought me some amazing experiences and memories that I would never give up.
4. I am a very curious person, and I love to know everything about everyone! Even people I don't know.
5. I want to be a cool, outdoorsy, sporty mom that my kids will think is awesome! I really want to play catch, hike, run, fish, and other fun stuff with my kids. I don't want my kids to think I'm prissy and girly and stuff. I'm weird.
6. I LOVE ice cream! :)

Sweetest husband in the world


I have been pretty sick for the past couple of days and Andrew has been taking such good care of me. Last night he made me a wonderful dinner and even did most of the dishes. I was very impressed and grateful. And today he went to the store during his lunch break to pick me up some chicken noodle soup. He has also been letting me just sleep in and relax. He is such a sweetheart! But now he is getting my flu. :( Poor, sweet boy.

LOST


We get together with some of our friends every Thurdsday to watch LOST. It is so much fun! Yesterday it was our turn to host the party. We like to go all out with things like this so we made a cake and decorated it to look like the island (it was awesome! But I forgot take a picture, sorry). And we printed Dharma labels and wrapped them around cans of Rootbeer to make them look like Dharma beer. We're nerds and we know it, but everyone thought it was really fun and got into with us, so it was successful. Yea! :)

Our apartment










Some people have asked me to take pictures of our apartment so they could see where we are living and I finally remembered to do it! Yea! So here they are. I apologize for the messyness of the craft room. We aren't done organizing yet. :)

Rochester in the winter




There are a lot of geese and frozen lakes. We went outside one day because it was a warm 30 degrees! ;)

Life in Rochester

We really like Rochester. It is a very friendly town and we are already making a lot of friends. It is FREEZING here so we stay inside and watch a lot of movies. But there are a lot of fun things to do here when the weather is warm so we are super excited. First move....successful! Yay!
