Day 23

~15 Facts About You~

1.) My all time favorite color is caribbean blue. Whenever I have gone somewhere with turquoise waters I can't get over it. Even if I lived close to those waters it would never get old.

2.) I love to play piano...but not in front of people. Sometimes in a casual situation I can play in front of family and very close friends but not when they are focused on me. Mostly if I'm in the background.

3.) Love to sing but once again not in front of people. I can do it in groups, but not solo. I don't like any kind of direct attention on me.

4.) I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. I had my first full blown anxiety attack October 2005 and had no clue what it was. Then the second happened October 2006 after Evan and I got married. I'm sure he was wondering what the heck was going on with me. I have had them on and off for the last few years and so far (knock on wood) I haven't had one for almost a year. I really don't have attacks anymore but I do get the uncomfortable feeling like something horrible is going to happen...but it will last days, weeks and sometimes a month or so.

5.) My hair hasn't been its natural color since 8th grade. I've dyed big chunks of my hair red, purple, hot pink, and blue (turns green after awhile). When I got out of the crazy colors I've just bounced between blonde, brunette, and black hair. I change my hair ALL the time. My real color is a dark brown with two natural copper highlights on each side kind of like a skunk :) but more noticable in the summer when my hair lightens. I've cut my hair REALLY short and have grown it out REALLY long. Its so pretty when its long but after I've had kids it always looks scraggly and is too high maintenance when its long. Oh and did you know its naturally curly/wavy?

6.)I have 4 sisters and 1 brother, and we all get along really well! I'm the youngest and am about 7 1/2 years off from the next ones up. My oldest sibling is about 15 1/2 years older than me.

7.)Speaking of family did you know that twins run in our families. My mom had twins, and my sister (one of the twins) had twins. Evans Dad is a twin and his moms first pregnancy was twins which ended in a partial miscarriage and a stillborn at term :( Think we'll ever have twins? Probably not, but I have a higher chance because of my side. Whether or not you have twins depends on the woman and the man determines the gender.

8.)Comedies are my favorite kind of movies. I also like westerns, disney movies and only a few dramas. I don't like deep movies that make you think..not because I don't like to think, I just can't STOP thinking about it.

9.) I've never spent a night away from my kids. I take them everywhere I go. Sometimes I feel like I need a break but I have a hard time letting anyone take them. I only do it when I absolutely have no choice. I even bring them with me to get my hair cut and dr appts. The only appt I don't take them to is the dentist because when I'm being worked on I can't move to keep them out of things.

10.)I've only lived in Montana and Wyoming- Colstrip, Billings, Sheridan (for a month) and Powell.

11.) I've done quite a bit of traveling for my age. Ive been on 3 cruises and hope to go on many more! We've also taken some road trips to California and Seattle. Gone to Texas and Washington D.C. , and all the surrounding states. We also went Mexico when I was younger to visit my brother-in-laws family.

12.) I've worked several different jobs! My first job was the MT Tamale Co. We made tamales in bulk amounts and shipped them off all over the country. I also worked at CPRD as a rec aide. I loved this job because you were doing everything from playing soccer, basketball, skateboard/rollerblading, arts & crafts and so much more! Then I worked my Senior year through the co op program at Western Energy in the production office. I created graphs of production, schedules for the coal miners, and transfered data from production sheets, that contained all the machinery at the mine, to the computer. Basically keeping track of what piece of equiptment was running at each period of the day. When I lived in Billings I worked as a cashier at Walmart, they were the only ones with a decent pay and would work around my school schedule. Then finally here in Powell I worked at Dr. Akins office as a secretary until I got pregnant with Takara.

13.) I don't feel like this life is long enough to do everything that I want to do!

14.) I love shoes and coats and I'm a bargain shopper. I love that no matter how much my weight fluxuates my shoes ALWAYS fit the same!

15.)Finally I was married at the age of 19 and Evan at 23. I met Evan February 10th 2006, I only saw him on the weekends when he was back from working over the mountain. He proposed 5 weeks later and we were married August 19 2006. Best decision of my life!
