25 random things

Okay, I am being totally lazy and copying the "25 random things tag" that got passed around facebook the past few weeks. (I had about 8 sent to me before I finally took the time to respond, forgive me if anything is a repeat.)
1. I usually love to read these kind of emails but never respond to them, so here goes...
2. I surfed in Hawaii when pregnant with Noah, and I hiked the Great Wall of China when I was pregnant with Clara.
3. I'm not good about checking phone messages
4. I've never gotten a ticket.
5. I avoid confrontation at all cost.
6. I prefer baking to cooking.
7. My hair was cut while studying in the BYU library by a 12 year old with a hair fetish. (it made the police beat in the University paper)
9. I can't count the times people ask where my kids get their red hair from.
10.I have always been more of a morning glory then a night owl.
11. I sleep through most movies.
12. I don't have a cell phone.
13. I taught school in Tonga, Utah, and California and kids are amazing everywhere.
14. I have much more patience for kids then elderly.
15. My kids will probably not think musicals are that weird since I break into song or dance at anytime.
16. I love to travel but always get homesick.
17. My mom had her sixth child by the age I had my first.
18. I still say my hobbies are playing guitar, hiking, and art but I haven't done much of any since having two kids.
19. I am so grateful for changes in seasons.
20. I have always loved my homes (family as the heart of it) .
21. My husband's brother made me a guitar when he found out Josh bought me one from guitar center (Josh's dad and brother are luthiers??guitar makers)
22. Josh went so over the top for the proposal that I rarely get the chance to share the whole amazing story.
23. I will always be a California girl.
24. I'm terrible and keeping in contact with friends, luckily my connections don't seem to fade. 25. I keep trying to enjoy the little moments in each stage I'm in.

Thanks for sharing, Lo. I love reading these things. As for the red head question - you could answer Grandma Ukena, but I hope you answer, "my awesome little sister!" (Although, people might get the wrong idea...)

Wow Laura, I had no idea that you'd travelled so much. Quite jealous of the Great Wall of China and Tonga. And also, I had no idea that you were so into the guitar. More jealousy! So fun to learn more about you!

Yup, I came back to read it again. It is so enjoyable and really reflects you. I'd forgotten about the hair attack. And life IS a musical, so your kids will enjoy it.

Loved your list! It totally reflects you! Bummer about your hair at the library, but funny that it made the Police Beat, those things were always funny to read! Are you on facebook? I'll have to look you up!
