10 Honest things about me

10. I, like Amy, sometimes am too lazy to brush my teeth before bed... I always feel bad because then I don't wear my retainer (yes, I still wear mine!). I feel bad because I always wanted pretty teeth, and my orthodontist scared me and said if I didn't my teeth would move back to the way they were... Gross, I know...



9. I think being a nurse would be the most rewarding career, but I'm scared to go to school. I am afraid I will fail... Even though I would be too determined to fail.



8. I think I know more than I really do about life. I still have a lot to learn, and some I've had to learn the hard way...



7. I truely believe that the cokes (or soda, however you say it) at doughnut shops and bbq places are WAY better... we're talking the little bbq shops that are attached to a strip mall or gas station... or operating out of a little building/portable that looks like it will blow over in a strong wind!





6. I love my family. There are so many people now a days that don't treat their family the way they deserve. They're your family. They will always be there for you! I don't have a ton of memories with my older siblings from when I was a kid, but we are more than making up for that now. I feel so blessed everyday for my family. We're loud and crazy, and HUGE! I love being surrounded by the 3 brothers right around me. I feel sorry for the guys I date sometimes because of them. They may not put off that "protective vibe" all the time, but they are. They've been pretty heated because of a few guys... But I love being from a big family and wouldn't trade it for anything...



5. I wish that I was able to get to see my extended family more often. I miss them all the time. Yes, my cousins in Utah and Arizona, this one's for you! There are cousin's I've never met I'm sure... But I miss y'all all the time! Love you! :)



4. As I said before I want to be a nurse, but I can be grossed out easily sometimes... I love to watch the Discovery Health Channel, but I turn my head a lot when I can't stand to see something... I can't watch a Dr. cut someone for surgery... Gross...



3. My mom says I was born in the wrong era. I LOVE the music from the time when her and my dad were little kids, and their growing up years... I also love big band music... Seriously, where did I come from?



2. I try not to be rude, but sometimes I think I am... I'll stick up for what I believe in and sometimes I may be a little forward about it. On the other hand though, I don't like people being mad at me... I don't like to feel guilty about anything... I was always a goody-goody if you will...

1. I'm an impulse buyer... I've gotten much better than I used to be. I used to think I had all the money in the world, but I've learned the last few years that there are WAY more important things than the latest cell phone or iPod... I'm still getting better, and have had a lot of help from the Lord for it...

So, I may not have shared what everyone was thinking, but that's my list...
I think I will tag... Jenn, Katie, Karris, Merideth, Brit, and whoever else wants to do this... It's kinda tough though... be prepared!

Pictures...

I wanted to add some pictures...

This is Riley Jeanette's youngest... We had some good times when I lived in Oklahoma...

Oh, Bluebonnets... I hope there is a good turn out this year... I love them so much Jesse pulled over on the way to the airport just so I could take some pictures... Then a state trooper stopped to make sure we were ok... So friendly...


Some of my cute nieces... We have good genes in this family...



This is at the top of Mt. Magazine in Arkansas. We went to visit Joseph and Kathy and we took the LONG way home. Jeanette and I wanted to stop here and Glen obliged by driving up 45 mins to the top. We went to the restroom in the WORST bathroom ever, and then stopped to take pictures... I gave the Lord a thumbs up for this view. It was AMAZING up there. The beauty of the earth is breathtaking.


This is what happened the last time I played softball... My whole leg was swollen and bruised... You should see the pictures of the other side of my leg... It was SWEET!

Hope you enjoyed a few pictures... And sorry if this last one grossed you out... I'm weird and love scars and bruises...

Current events

So, I'm staring my softball season on Friday. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous. Don't get me wrong, I love playing softball, but I haven't played in over a year. I'm hoping it all comes back to me!
I've been having a pretty good week. I still love my job, and the people I work with. It's been pretty busy which makes for faster days and weeks.
Today was Stake Conference and it was really good. It was a broadcast from Salt Lake and went to all of TX, OK, and NM. The best was Jeff asking who spoke at my stake conference... It made me laugh.

Good news: James and Angie are going to have another baby in September. This makes number 16 in the Nicholas grandkids...

Bad news: Paul Harvey died yesterday at 90. He's in a better place, but the "Rest of the story" won't be the same... Yeah, I listen to it when I can catch it...
