Only 7 days............

I still have a few more days in order to be equal with Tres. Anyway I have also been tagged but I have no one to tag. Well here it goes, 6 known facts about me;

*I have broken my back 2 times. Once when I was six, I fell out of a tree. Then when I was sixteen I had a painting accident with a ladder and broke it again. I guess you could say I am a walking miracle.

*My family is my life. I don't worry about friends because they are my friends. Richard is my best friend in the whole world. My kids are all a close second. I have the best parents and sisters as well as in-laws (parents, brother and sisters included) not everyone can say that!

*I have spent more New Years at Fish Lake than I have anywhere else. I am glad that this is a family tradition and hope to continue it for many years to come. (My husband won't stand for change)

*I have a wonderful step-daughter and the cutest grand daughter!! Not too many 35 year olds can say they are a grandma. I love it!!! You should see the reactions I get when I tell someone that I am a grandma. Baby Taylie has brought so much joy into everyone's live and she is such a good baby.

*I miss going to church! You don't know you miss it until you stop going. I work every other weekend so I can only attend when I am off. Then if we go somewhere, it happens when I have a weekend off. I was embarrassed to find out in October that this year in relief society Pres. Kimball was the theme. Had it really been a year since I attended? Any way I am trying harder to make it to church as it is such a blessing in our lives. I do have a testimony that this is the only true church and that Jesus Christ died for our sins. I tell my kids that if they will keep the commandments they will live a happy life. God wanted each of us to be happy so he gave us the commandments. The times I have been down on life it has been because I was not doing things like I should have.

*I love the elderly. I have spent 13 years caring for the elderly. My wonderful grandparents took me to the nursing home with them when I was young for sacrament meeting quite often. I have always felt very comfortable around the elderly. In high school I took the CNA course and became a Certified Nurses Aide. I did that for 10 years. I then spent the next 3 as a Licensed Practical Nurse in a nursing home. I am a lot more comfortable caring for some one older than I am some one my own age. I can't tell you how many time I have been looked in the eye and told, "Don’t ever get old, it's hell". I can agree, my 35 year old body doesn't recover like it did when it was 18

Thanks Tres!!!

For those that don't know, Brett's wife gave me a homework assignment. She tagged (challenged, forced) me into listing 6 little known facts about me.
I will participate as far as the list goes but I wont pass this misery on to anyone else.

Here you go:

1. We will start with the obvious, I hate to SHAVE, enough said.
2. I have over 30 fishing poles, My fishing equipment is worth more than my vehicles.
3. I watch Greys Anatomy on Wednesday nights (Thanx Kim)
4. There is not much more important than watching a Jazz game. While two of my children were being born a Jazz game was on in the background (or foreground depending on your point of view).
5. Probably one of the more embarrassing facts that many probably already know but I'm still going to use, is: I am a BYU alumni
6. I've read the complete Harry Potter series and liked it, ugh.

Nothing to glamorous, and yes pretty painful putting some of that on "paper" but probably nothing to suprising.

P.S. One more just for Justin. I voted for Bill Clinton THREE times!!!!
