11 Random Things

1) Whenever I go out to eat anywhere that has pebbled ice I make sure to finish my drink while I'm there and then fill my cup to the brim with only ice and eat it the rest of the night

2) As crazy as it is I like being a little bit sunburnt. Maybe that's because I'm allergic to sunscreen.

3) When I pick up a hamburger I eat the whole thing at once. I don't like setting it down and picking it back up

4) I have a strange love for dental floss. 

5) My motto in life is Life's short, eat dessert first. Make a dessert and share it with me and we will be instantaneous and lifelong friends

6) If there is any hint of daylight outside then I like the lights inside to be off. I'd sit in my room until I absolutely cannot see anything before turning the lights on if everyone would let me

7) I have asthma

8) I'm not particularly fond of powder sugar

9) I have an obsession with stripes. Probably 80% of the shirts I own have stripes.

10) 4th of July is my very favorite holiday. Fireworks, sleeping out for the Parade, hot air balloons, everyone wearing patriotic colors. I love it all.

11) My biggest fear is going blind

Questions from Tiff

1. What are you most passionate about? (Hobby, activity, dream..)

First and foremost Ice Cream, but I'm also very passionate about my dream trip. See #4. I'm passionate about lots of little things. Letters, Draw Something, Blogs, my Testimony ask my roommates if you want a more complete list.

2. What's the coolest thing you've ever done?
I swam with Alligators once. That was pretty cool.

3. Biggest regret

When my parents got divorced I completely shut myself off to both of them. One of the dumbest decisions I could have ever made, but I did it. Me and my mom were very best friends before hand. I thought that because she was so busy she didn't have enough time for all of us, so by not involving her too much in my life I was giving my siblings more time with her. Now I know that it's crazy to think that way and now we are the best of friends, but I regret all that lost time.

4. If you could travel anywhere, regardless of expense, where would you go?

The Netherlands. Hands down no hesitation. I have been in love with this country ever since I did a report on it in 6^th grade. It’s so gorgeous. I want to see the tulips and the windmills. This is one place I will go before I die.

 

5. Define the following: Love, Happiness, Friend.
Love- Love is unconditional, it is not judgmental, it is everlasting. Love is caring about someone because of the imperfections that make them who they are not in spite of them. Love is all encompassing. Love is being there for ones you care about at any and every time they need you. 


Happiness-Happiness is a decision you have to make every day. To be happy you have to see the good in life. Happiness is a mind set. If you want to be happy then decide it and make it so.


A Friend- a friend is someone you can trust. A person you can turn to. They don't have to know every little thing about your life, your past, or your dreams, but a friend is someone who cares about the things you do for you. A friend is someone who has influenced you for the better.

6. Have you had a defining moment in your life? What makes you who you are.

I don't know that I've had one specific defining moment in my life, but experiences I've gone through have made me who I am. Moving right before 7th grade effected who my friends were all throughout high school. The groups of friends I've had over the years have greatly influenced my life. My parents getting divorced. The young women leaders that I had. Truly, no other group has changed my life as much as they have.

7. Best date you've ever been on

Last summer I went to a Bee's game with Jesse and His parents. It was around the 4th of July and there were fireworks after the game. It started raining a little bit and surprisingly that made it all the more fun. 

8. Something extremely weird about you, that most people don't know.

When I eat my food I eat all of one thing before moving onto the next one. Usually I go from what I like least on my plate to what I like best. Last the best of all the game ;)

9. Favorite book (now or as a child or both!)

I absolutely loved the book The Two Princesses of Bamarre. 

10. Favorite movie and why

Well for a really really long time my favorite movie was The Parent Trap. These days I love the movie Just Like Heaven. I like the idea of helping someone find themselves again, it’s kind of what I want to go into as my profession.

11. Biggest goal for 2012 - that you WILL achieve. 
Run in the Lindon Days race. I know it's not even a big one at all, but it is something  I have always fantasized about doing. And this is my year and I will do it. Also, learn how to do my hair.
