Six Things You Don't Know About Me (Maybe)

I was tagged, thanks Justina!

I had a hard time with this, I feel like I am pretty open.  So, if you already know all these things about me, I'm sorry.

1. I have to mentally fight myself not to buy all the die cast 'Cars' characters that my children do not have. This is very unlike me.  I am not an impulse buyer - mostly because I do not have the luxury of doing so. :) I really wanted 'the boys' to have Luigi and Guido, I think they are my favorite characters in the movie, which by the way we still watch on a regular basis. And I think if I had ever seen them in a store, I might have given in. Thankfully, my wonderful mother in law gave them to the boys for Christmas.

2.  I really wish I could sing. Sometimes, I ache to be able to express myself like only music can.  I did do a musical right before Jeremy and I were married, but I was the only character without a solo. :) I sang only one line all by myself - 'Playing the drums in your own school band' from Happiness in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.  But, I am also terrified to sing alone. Everyone in my Musical Scene Study at BYU had to suffer through all my nerves during the required solos.  It could stem from when the whole congregation laughed at me when I sang at my brother's farewell. (My little sister was standing next to me while I sang, making faces at my voice. I was a last minute stand in, when my other sister, Kathie lost her voice and couldn't sing her verse) After the resurrection, maybe that part of me will be made whole! But for now, my kids like to sing with me - especially Jacob, he's our little singer.

3. I might go back to school, someday. I am currently toying with the idea, when Jeremy is a professor somewhere and the kids are a little older, I might take a few classes at a time and get a Master's.  Most universities offer low tuition or free tuition to faculty members and their families, so we wouldn't have to pay for it or at least not near as much. Then, maybe I could teach a class at a community college when I am done. Who knows if it will happen, but it is fun to think about it.

4.  I had surgery on my sternum when I was 11 or 12. (12, I think) So, I have this scar that extends from a few inches below my armpit across to the other side. The doctor said the scar would most likely be hidden under a bikini, so I didn't need to worry. I have never tested it. :)

5. I am scared to ever have another baby. For a couple of reasons - First, it might be another boy. And while I love even adore my three little men, I think I might cry for a while if another ultrasound finding 'boy parts', as the doctors call it, dashes my hopes for tea parties and hair bows and mother/daughter dates. Secondly, the events around Michael's delivery were really hard on me. I know people have been through much worse, namely three members of my family, but it was hard and never really want to go back to a hospital. And really the worst part had nothing to do with the labor, even though pushing out an almost 9 lb baby was hard, especially with a high fever.

6. jhjjmjjmmjmjjhhkrjuhgyiuyyuututiy andrew selim jjacobbjjjjjjjjj - this was andrew and jacob's contribution to the blog.

Jeremy and I have been married for 6 and a half years and have had 8 different addresses. We have lived in three different states and seven cities. Even though three of those cities were provo, orem and bluffdale - all very close together. I am very tired of doing address changes with the post office, let alone all the moving and packing. I am really hoping that very soon that will change and we can settle somewhere and find a home and a ward that will be ours for good, or at least for a long period of time. 

There it is. Fun for me to think of all these. I tag Mama, Alexa and Shelly.
