And the game goes on and on and on....

I got tagged by Tiffany and Karen yesterday. And the funny thing is it was the same tag game! (I don't think they even know each other)! I have to list 6 facts/habits about myself and pass the tag on to 6 of you.

1. I love a good bubble bath.

2. I love to eat at good restaurants. Our vacations are often planned around what restaurants we are going to try out! I love everything about it. Trying new dishes, rating the service, people watching, the ambiance, everything!

3. I HATE to touch cardboard.

4. If I wasn't a mom, I would want to be a professional traveller. (Is that a REAL profession?)

5. I LOVE real estate. I love to look at it, buy it, sell it, fix it up, rent it out, live in it...you get the picture.

6. I want to be more disciplined (yes, here I am sitting at the computer when I SHOULD be cleaning my house).

I tag...Becky Johnson, Brenda Hickman, Kim Smith, Megan Dehart, Natalie Tingey, & Valli Nield

1. How did you meet your spouse?


Derrick's roommate Jonathan was friends with my girlfriends and we all met up at Riverwoods in Provo to caravan up to Park City for dinner and games. When we met up with them, I saw Derrick for the first time and he was driving a bright yellow H2. This was back when Hummers were a novelty, and I remember thinking "Oh, gag, he probably thinks he's such a stud and has to have the perfect model girlfriend." So I was not expecting to have much interest in him, nor for him to have any in me. But he sat across from me at the Thai restaurant we went to, and since he had never eaten Thai food, he asked if I wanted to share something. Now if Derrick is telling the story, this is where he pipes in with "Oh, I wasn't just talking about sharing a meal, I was talking about sharing our lives together." Can it get more cheesy?!!? I love it! Anyway, to end the story, we ended up talking all night and both leaving wanting to get to know each other better.

2. What can you live without?

Stress and Cleaning



3. 3 Favorite Books

The Count of Monte Cristo

Jane Eyre

Pride & Prejudice

Yes, I am a fan of the classics!


4. Who was your first kiss?

I don't really want to say! Not that he isn't a cool guy. But it's just weird! Let's see if any of you can guess. I bet that Becky can figure it out if she thinks real hard!

5. What was your favorite subject in school?

Geology in 12th grade. Not exactly the subject, but the class was full of awesome, awesome people. The teacher was cool, and the field trips were a blast!





7. What do you do to get ready for bed?

Brush my teeth. Wash my face. Floss. Check on Cecily. Get in my pj's. Hop in bed. Kiss my hunny bunny goodnight. Watch the news until I go to sleep (This is a bad habit I learned from my husband. But at least I turn the timer on rather than have the TV on all night!)




7. If you were stranded on an island what is the one thing you would want to have?
Honestly, I would want my husband! We'd have such a blast!



8. Describe your ideal vacation (where, how long, who with, etc.)

Right now, I am really in the mood for a nice, romantic vacation on a beach somewhere with my husband. Of course, we'd both look absolutely fabulous in our swimsuits, I wouldn't be pregnant, and we would have a fantastic babysitter hanging out with our kids when we wanted to have some alone time (Cecily is just so dang cool---how could we leave her home?) Hmm. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think we'll go to Italy. No...how about Greece? Okay, I'll take anywhere at this point. I'm just ready for ANY vacation!


9. How did you know you were in love?You will think I'm full of crap, but I knew from the day I met Derrick that I would marry him. (And, NO, I did not think that about every guy I dated!) So I can't exactly remember a day that I KNEW I was in love. I think I just always was!



10. What is your favorite kind of gum?

It has to be sugarless, and I can't chew it for more than a half hour maximum, or it drives me nuts!
