Six Random Things - I was tagged by Mariann

(It's one way to get me to update my blog)


1. I broke my arm when I was 10 doing handstands on 5 gallon buckets filled with water. I had to have surgery on my arm to pin the bone I broke back in place and a year later had to have plastic surgery on the scar. I now have a zig zag scar on my right elbow. Needless to say I never told my parents the real way I broke my arm till after I was married.


2. I have four kids, 2 boys and 2 girls and I knew with all but my last girl what I was having before I had the ultrasound. 3 for 4 isn't to bad.


3. I met my husband, Danny at a singles ward and he called me by the wrong name for about two months, then I turned him down when he asked me out the first time, and he only asked me out after he heard me speak in church. (Ha Ha It literally took divine intervention!!!)


4. I currently HATE painting walls. After painting our newly redone house inside I am taking motrin regularly to help with the Tendonitis in my shoulders. I LOVE my house though!!!!


5. I have been on 2 pioneer treks and am preparing to go on a 3rd. Hardest thing I have ever done in my life but it helped me realize I am capable of more than I ever realized.


6. I love to read when I can find the time.

I know I know it's about time. With everthing happening and mt computer being down for a while my blog went on neglected. The house is comming alog thanks to sooooo many people. Nathan is finishing up our electrical and David is doing our siding. It looks like a totally different house. Christmas was good especially sice we got our carpet and put up our tree on christmas eve. We have hosted a couple family parties here and we LOVE having the space to do it. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of how it looks. Not quite done with everything but you'll get the idea.
