1. I am a Mormon. And I think you should be one too! {wink wink}
2. I absolutely cannot flex my biceps or lack there of. I can do it on accident but when I try and do it intentionally...it becomes quite the task.
3. I have one blue eye and one green eye. Growing up, my sister Brittany never let me forget it. I'd cry, my parents would threaten a grounding and still...her reminders persisted :)
4. My childhood fun consisted of mostly pranks. Pranks I am not proud of. My brother Jordan was my partner in crime. The things we got away with before the legal age of 18 is impressive.
5. I love Oprah. A part of me died when her talk show ended.
6. I am a dual citizen of both the United States of America and Canada. My Mom was born in Seattle, I was born and grew up in Canada. I was blessed with claims on two wonderful countries.
7. I can finish a Rubix cube in under 2 minutes. I shamefully spent almost an entire summer at our cabin in Montana figuring it out.
8. I don't love pets. I love zoos, visiting houses with animals and even a temporary dog sitting :)...but the thought of having a pet permanently for a number of years, scares and petrifies me.
9. Some of my favourite memories come from playing basketball and tournament road trips. I made so many of my amazing friends through teams in middle school and high school. I was always good enough to make the team but never EVER a star player. Can I blame my height? Probably not :)
10. One of my biggest fears has always been people walking/running up stairs behind me. You can often find me walking up stairs backwards if someone is behind me.

12. I was in the fashions/sewing program through all of high school.
13. I don't think any of my high school teachers would say they liked me. I was a mouthy/ try to get some laughs/ skip class kinda student. Not exactly proud of this fact.
14. Alex and I got pregnant on accident 2 weeks after marriage...no big secret really.
15. I love apple. I'm obsessed with my macbook pro and all of their products.

18. I don't do heat. Maybe it's from growing up in Canada or my pregnancy but heat and I don't mix. I looooove the heat when there is water I can jump into. But if i'm not in a bathing suit then I prefer 20 degree (celsius) weather.
19. I have lived in the States for years and I still can't figure out the imperial system. It's 75 degrees Fahrenheit? What does that mean? That person was speeding and going 90 miles per hour? I just can't get it into my brain.
19. My Dad is a part owner of a Dairy Queen in Medicine Hat. He might say he invested in this for retirement but we all know he did it for the lifetime supply of free ice cream. We never complain.
20. For some reason, in order for me to feel awake and ready for the day, I have to let out a yell. My sister Brittany always makes fun of me but it feels so good!
21. I took personal singing lessons from the age of 8 until 18. I always loved it. Every year, I would enter the rotary music festival and compete in all sorts of categories. My favourite was the musical theatre category.
22. I have a long list of times my Dad had to come pull my car out of a ditch. My Dad looooves to tell all of these stories. I guess he has the right after all the money I cost him haha

28. I love street hockey. My brother and I would get all the neighbourhood kids to play every night after supper.
29. I used to have front bangs and so when my family and I went to Cuba, the Cuban's in the airport thought I was Hannah Montana. It was funny!
