I have been tagged/6 quirks about me

I laughed like a flip'n lunatic when reading Kellie's that I decided what the heck!

Rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you
2. Mention rules on your blog
3. Tell about six quirks of yours
4. Tag six fellow bloggers to do the same
5. Leave them a comment to let them know


1. Okay here we go, I think these "quirks" are more like OCD matters to me. When putting folded towels away "the pretty side" has to be facing out. They have to be folded going the same direction and smooth.

2.While I lay in bed I cannot stand to see any door open. We leave our bedroom door cracked open, as long as I can't see it from around the corner.

3.I also cannot leave for a vacation without my house being spotless. I also like the feeling of coming home to a clean house and only having the dirty laundry from the vacation but my main reason is....If we never come home from the vacation I want the people who have to deal with our passing to come into a spotless home and not have to deal with my wreckage on top of my death. Demented?

4. The feeling of manure haunts me! When I touch something with my hands or feet that I perceive as dirty it takes me a full shower before feeling like I no longer have a full coating of manure on my hands and feet. Just washing my hands/feet doesn't seem to help.

5.I absolutely LOVE to pop zits! Only if it is on certain people though, otherwise I gag and feel the manure thing going on again. I especially love the kind that you can almost hear pop through the surface.

6. Vacuum lines!!!! I love vacuum lines!!!! As they start to fade my house feels filthy.

I tag..Amanda, Kelly M., Teresa, Katelyn, Suzy and Ashlie.

Something to Chew On

I am not going to tell you the website because that would just prove to everyone just how far from perfect I actually am but one of my favorite blogs posted this....
Let it be mine for just a second and give me an answer!

Indulge me for a second and consider this scenario: let's say you're given the opportunity to donate some money to a desperate family who would use it to feed their children, but were only able to do so if you donated the same amount of money to someone you knew would use it to buy crack. Would you do it?

How Life Changes


It's funny how life changes, it contains a lot of firsts, firsts that hold indescribable feeling, a feeling that you will never feel again with the same magnitude. As you grow you can't imagine being old enough to do a lot of things. When you get married there is this craziness of blending 2 homes into one and as you prepare for a new baby it is beyond something that you can put into words. I remember this exact day last year, Saturday conference session, opening day of the elk hunt. It was raining just like it was today and I was 6 months pregnant. Anyone who was around for my pregnancy knows that I hated every last second of it, so last year at this time I thought I was going to die and there was just no way that I would ever feel more uncomfortable...little did I know what the next 3 months had in store. Anyway....conference weekend last year, rainy....Afton and I went to Salt Lake to a boutique to find some fashionable maternity pants. I remember telling her that I couldn't believe that I was actually preparing for a baby. On our way home she said to me "Won't it be so weird next year at this time when we are taking Van with us to the mall, it won't be just us, he will be here." I couldn't imagine that this little person that we had referred to as Van from the very moment I found out I was pregnant (I already knew he was a boy) was inside of me and actually going to come out and have a spot in this world. Jordan and I talked about it for 9 + months. One day you leave the house, just the two of you and then you come home with 3 and all of the sudden it isn't just Jordan and Jamie's house but Van's house too. Van is an actual person who has belongings just like the rest of us, belongings that he would take with him where ever he may go, a room, clothing that isn't meant for any one but him. It is so surreal to know that the room that was an office is now a real persons room, VAN'S room. I hung some coat hooks in the laundry room just a few days ago, preparing for winter and wanting to have easy access to a coat as we are walking out the door. I smile every time I even walk into the room, Jordan comments on it every time he walks through the back door. This little man has a hook on the wall, one that is all for him, one that hold his very own coat.
