Question #47

Q: Did you have a special object that you slept with? Blanket, doll, stuffed animal?

A: I went through phases for sure. I don't think I ever had a blanket I slept with, but I slept with stuffed animals for sure. I loved stuffed animals. My grandma used to get me big ones that I would sleep with. I also slept with a glow worm that played music and lit up when you squeezed it. I'm sure I named them all, but I really don't remember.

Now.... I sleep with a heat bag on my feet.... because my room is in the basement and it is super cold. :)

Question #46

Q: What was the hardest thing that you ever had to do?

A: Umm... I feel like there could be many different answers to this. Hardest thing I have ever had to do physically was probably my sprint triathlon. Wouldn't have been so hard if I would have trained for it. ha ha. The hardest thing I have ever had to do mentally was probably pass Anatomy and Physiology to graduate from the American Institute of Medical-Dental Technology. The hardest thing I have ever had to do emotionally was get over my break up with Brent, who I was engaged to and call off the wedding and start all over again in the dating world. The hardest thing I have ever had to do courage wise was probably sing solo in front of 2,000 people. Or maybe it was the time that I was face to face with sharks, or maybe it was the time I was 400 feet in the air held by a little harnest and a parachute. I feel like I have had to do a lot of hard things in life.

Question #45

Q: Do you doodle? What figures tend to come up? Boxes? Circles? Faces?

A: This is an interesting question. I don't doodle too much. However, when I do I usually draw things that I know how to draw well. Like... a dog, a flag, a cake. I know... real cool. ha ha. If I am just doodling and not actually trying to draw anything, I get a lot of squiggly lines. I have been doodling kind of the same since Jr. High... so my answer would be the same I guess.

Question #44

Q: What is my favorite book in the scriptures? Why?

A: I love the Book of Mormon, but I also really love the D&C. I love it because it is not just stories. It is direct docterine for us to follow. It is straight forward mordern day revelation given to us to follow. I love and need the guidence in my life.

Question #43

Q: Describe your favorite summer activities.

A: I am trying to think what my answer would have been had I answered this in Jr. High. I think my answers would be different now now only because of age, but also because of location. Living in Santa Barbara, I didn't appreciate the summer for it's weather as much as I do now that I live somewhere where is snows for almost half of the year. Back then I loved playing with my friends. Having sleep overs. Roller blading. Anything as long as it involved my friends.

Now... my answer would be very similar, but I love to be outside as much as possible. Summer nights are the best. Seriously. I love to travel during the summer. I love to watch movies outside. I love playing summer softball. I LOVE BBQ's and swimming. This last summer I enjoyed bike rides on my beach cruiser. I just love living life to the fullest. :)

Question #42

Q: What is the nicest thing your mom has ever done for you?

A: My mom has done a lot of nice things for me. She stuck up for me when I was not being included and was being treated poorly by my friends in YW's. She also went to the school and yelled at my choir director when I came home crying because he split the choir into A & B groups in the middle of the year and I was put into the B group even though everyone knew I should be in the A group. She was there for me everyday when I was going through my broken engagment and let me cry to her. She would write nice notes in my lunches she made for me all of the time. She dropped off a present for me at work as a surprise, just to let me know she loved me. She drives with me to California every year to sing at Disneyland because she knows I love it so much. I could go on and on. My mother is wonderful.

Question #41

Q: What's my favorite music group?

A: That is hard because I have always loved music of all different kinds. In Jr. High I might have answered the Backstreet Boys. I loved their album back then. Now I love so many bands and artists that I don't know if I could pick. If I could pick an all time favorite group, I would probably say Simon and Garfunkle. It's classic. I can listen to them all day and not get sick of them. I love singing along to them. I love their harmonies. They are great.
