Question 15

15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
If I were an animal, I think I would be a sloth.  License to be lazy forever?  I think yes.

Question 14

14. Describe 5 strengths you have.
  • For the most part, I try to stay open to others and their opinions.
  • Love of children.  I love children.  I thing that it is strength because I have learned so much from children, and will continue to learn new things everyday.
  • Small details.  That's right.  My attention and focus on small details, while is a weakness, I also believe its one of my strengths.
  • Visual learning.  If I can focus and watch something, I can learn it pretty easily.  (That's how I learned to crochet. and I'm pretty good at it)
  • Dependence on my Heavenly Father.  Even through hard times, I know he is there to guide and comfort me.

Question 13

13. Describe 5 weaknesses you have.
  • Distraction.  I get distracted way to easily.  Which means I don't always finish everything I start (as you can tell since a lot of these posts weeks late.
  • Small details.  I can get very flustered over some of the smallest things.  I know this.  Though I think it can hinder me a lot of times, I don't plan on trying to change it.
  • Sometimes, I forget that people don't think the same way I do.  This one is a bit harder for me to explain.  I understand that everyone has a different opinion than I do, but it is their attitude about a lot of things that I don't get.
  • I can be very stubborn and snobby when it comes to things like food.
  • Netflix.  If we are subscribed to Netflix (which we no longer are) then absolutely nothing gets done.  I'm paying for it, I'm going to watch it as much as possible!

Another question I asked Luis about, he says that making the bed and vegetables are my kryptonite.

Question 12

12. Describe a typical day in your current life.
A typical day in my life right now is pretty boring.
  I wake up, throw the dog blanket on the bed, cuddle with my boys and try to go back to sleep till work, get up, Decide whether I want to eat my cereal, or shower first.  Lay down for a bit longer after my shower, Get up,   put the boys outside, go to work, come home eat, take a nap, Try to find energy to do dishes, try to find energy to make food, eat, sit on the computer for a bit, cuddle and talk with the Hubby, then go to bed and start it over.

There is a lot of food snacking that takes place throughout the day.

  • Talking badly about others without knowing their situation.
  • Actors turning their back to the audience
  • Messing with my set(I haven't worked on one in a while, but I still hate it)
  • The "Spider" song (my siblings made it up a long time ago, specifically to bug me, and I never get over it)
  • Sneaky pooper (Discovered to be Zuko) doing his sneaking right before I have to leave the house.

Question 10

10. Describe your most embarrassing moment.
This question is hard because there are so many to choose from.
I think the most embarrassing moment that I have held onto for the longest was in my Freshman year of high school.  I was at a competition for show choir.  We were watching other groups preform.  I forget exactly why I was standing up, but when I went to sit down, somehow I forgot that the seats flipped up when  you stand.  Instead of sitting, I fell right to the ground.  Even my mom and choir teacher who were several rows back saw the whole thing.  A really cute guy that was sitting right behind me tried to help me up, but I was too embarrassed to let him.  I sat there laughing for a while.

I was telling Luis this story.  Apparently, at his prom, a similar thing happened to him.  Though his is less about being clumsy, and more about a breaking chair.  They had these old chairs that were left out to the elements.  When prom came around, the washed the chairs and used them.  Luis sat in one, and the leg of the chair broke right from under him.

Question 9

9. List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.
  •  My Wonderful Husband.  He has taught me so much since we got married.  I know more about love and being an adult.  My life would not be as full without him here.  I am also much stronger in the church since he came into my life.
  • My parents.  I don't really know if I need to explain this one.  They sorta raised me and for the most part taught me to be this awesome.
  • My siblings.  I may fight with my brother's and sisters, but they have also taught me so much about friendship, and have been there for me when I needed 
  • My heavenly father and Jesus Christ.  Everything that I am, everything I have, I owe to them.  I wouldn't have my family if it weren't for them. 
  • My best-friend, Janie.  I am pretty sure I would have gone crazy in high school without her.  She seriously is the definition of best-friend.  I know that no matter what happens,  we will tell each other the ugly truth, and support each other at the same time.  She is the closest thing I could get to a sister, without her actually being my sister.
  • My other bestie, Bethany.  We have been friends forever (minus a year)  She has been my good friend longer than anyone else in my life.  (unless you count Janie.  apparently, we met when we were two)  She doesn't know it, but she helped me find my courage to stand up for something.  In high school, some guy was talking not so nice about her (she wouldn't go out with him)and I was so angry that someone would talk about her like that,  I started yelling at them.  (thinking about it still kinda makes me mad)  She is seriously one of the nicest people.  Even in that "minus year" When we were fighting, I didn't really have anything bad to say about her.  Even when we don't see each other for a long time, it is like no time has passed at all.
  • One of the kids I babysit.  He is the reason I decided I want to work with, and teach children.
  • Our old Landlords.  I really miss them since we bought our house.  They are seriously the cutest older couple ever.  I hope that Luis and I still have a marriage like theirs.  Especially because the wife is totally the boss.
  • My grandparents.  Especially right now, when they are going through a lot of stuff.  I have been visiting them a bit more often.  It is very encouraging to hear Grandpa talk about his temple marriage.  He may not remember everything, but he knows, and is grateful, that him and Granny will be together forever.  Every time I talk to him, he always says something about how much he loves her.   I keep thinking of when I used to come over to visit, Granny would always teach me fun things, like crocheting, and how to make awesome mountain cookies.  Grandparents are the best.
  • Sister cook.  She used to be my Young Womens leader.  She was the first adult outside of family that I felt really close to.  She always encouraged me while I was in high school.  I looked up to her and always wanted to be just like her.
