30 days of blogging

I am stealing this from little sis, Kaycie, who stole it from our friend Kjell. I really need to blog more and keep everyone updated more on the baby, so this is one way for me to get into the habit of blogging better and more. So here is the 30 Day Challenge! Here's how it goes:

Each day of the month, write a blog post according to these guidelines below:

So.... here is day 1: a recent picture and 15 random/interesting facts

(this picture was taken be older sis, Krista, who is pretty much amazing! they were supposed to be maternity pictures, but i was still SO small. i was trying to push that belly out so much, but i didn't have much success)

1: i used to be a state ranked swimmer, and could have gone to college on a scholarship or maybe even further, but quit because of a horrible coach. sad right?

2: i have a secret crush on max hall (quarterback at BYU and picked up by the cardinals as an undrafted free agent). don't tell his wife or my husband. :)

3: i have a 100 ton master's captain's license... this qualifies me to operate power boats up to 100 tons of weight, which is usually between 80 - 100 feet long.

4: though i possess said license, the largest boat i have ever been captain of (solo) is my 39 foot, 5 ton crabbing boat. :)

5: i am beyond OBSESSED with salt and vinegar potato chips

6: my favorite drink ever is chocolate milk

7: this is kinda gross, but i am a booger factory... my family tells me i have an overabundance. apparently my nose likes to clean itself out

8: i have become quite the football connoisseur. JJ and i watch almost every college and pro game on television, and i love it!

9. my husband is a 6'2" black, straight, mormon, figure skater... love it... quite the anomaly

10. i have a tendency to have best friends that look a lot like me (kristin - growing up, julie - college, and amber - post college) it's kinda funny. i'll have to post some pictures some time

11. i am too smart for my own good. i scored a 28 on my ACT without any preparation or calculator. i scored a 31 the second time. it's a nice skill to have, but it sometimes makes me lazy because i remember that i don't have to study very hard.

12. the older i become the more conservative politically i become.

13. i always thought by the time i was 30 that i would have been married for at least 6 or 7 years with about 2 or 3 kids... here i am... almost 30, married for a year with my first on the way.

14. i never feel completely comfortable away from my family. i am always terribly homesick

15. i LOVE furry, cuddly animals... maybe even more than people.
