25 things about me

This is my business card picture. It's a couple of years old but I don't think I have changed much. I did this list for Facebook but I thought I would copy it here for those non facebook kind of people.

1. I hate our junk drawer but where else are we going to put our junk?
2. I don’t like to host parties. I get way stressed. But I like to go to parties.
3. I have never been good at laundry. I usually have a mountain of clean clothes somewhere.
4. I used to be very shy, but somehow I got over that and now I talk to everyone I see.
5. I have a tattoo. Oops.
6. I watch a lot of reality TV, but my favorite show is probably NCIS.
7. I like to read but I don’t very often because if I do my kids and my house get neglected.
8. My eternal church calling is Gospel Doctrine Teacher. I do it in every ward. I kind of like it though.
9. I’m kind of a girly girl so I don’t know how I ended up with all of these boys.
10. I’m not very compassionate. I don’t really react to situations so I don’t understand when people do.
11. I don’t get army stuff but I try really hard because they support my family.
12. I love my best buddy Koda. I don’t know what I will do when he starts school, Clayton won’t let me have any more babies.
13. I am addicted to a game on my cell phone called Jewel Quest Solitaire. It comes in handy in waiting rooms.
14. I can’t just watch TV I have to be doing something while I watch.
15. I love my house even though it’s nothing fancy.
16. I have the perfect job. I sell houses from a model home but I am only there 2 days a week… see perfect.
17. My husband is very handsome, but he doesn’t think he is…he is a really great guy.
18. I am an army wife but I hate that show. Clayton is gone right now for three weeks. He is gone a lot but the longest was Iraq for 16 months.
19. I like when Clayton is out of town for the first couple of days because I don’t clean or make dinner but then I start to really miss him.
20. I married an Elder from my mission. I love you Elder Miller. I know what you are thinking but we weren’t really even friends until we came home.
21. I love to take baths. I take probably 4 a week. All Clayton can think of to give me for Christmas is bubble bath and body wash. That’s OK I like it, but I usually get a year supply every December.
22. I have 3 sisters and one brother, and 3 sons. I would rather be with family than anyone.
23. I love my mini-van. I always told myself I would never drive one but I like it.
24. I wore braces on my teeth when I was young but I could probably use them again.
25. I didn’t like writing this list. I don’t like doing this kind of stuff. I HATE scrapbooking. My kids are already a little disappointed that they don’t have scrap books.

Heart Attack

So I have a sick liver. No one knows what is wrong. The Doctors really want me to have hepatitis and test me for it all of the time but I never have it. After Koda was born I had my gallbladder removed because I was in a lot of pain, any way after they took out my gallbladder I still had a lot of pain. I do have a "lesion" on my liver but that is just the doctor term for a thingy. About a year ago I had a biopsy and we found out it's not cancerous so that's good. I am starting to learn what things aggravate my liver and stay far away from Tylenol and stuff like that.
The stomach flew has been going through our family and it got to me last week. Apparently the flew is something that aggravates my liver "condition" and I was in severe pain. I was about to go to the hospital and Clayton asked if I wanted a blessing so our home teacher came over and Clayton gave me a blessing. Shortly after they were done the pain started to go away, and I only had flew symptoms (which isn't fun but at least I wasn't in pain.)
So I guess our home teacher was a little concerned and called the Relief Society president because she called the next morning and then last night we got a heart attack. The hearts say happy Valentines and get well soon, I am thinking it is from the young women. Boy does the word spread fast around here. I am just fine now, no worries.

Wes

This is Clayton's brother Wes. This picture was taken at our little Christmas party, Wes dressed for the occasion in red and green. I'm sure some old man had to die for Wes to find those polyester pants at DI.

Carrie's Birthday

So I have been waiting for things to slow down, and for the desire to blog... I got the desire today! I am going to catch up on a couple of things. My sister Carrie's birthday is December 17 we went to Chillies (I love their chips and salsa) They sang to her
Koda and his cousin Sammy. This picture would have been a lot more cute if my camera wasn't so slow.
