We were tagged a while ago by my friend Crystal, but this one is a little different. We are supposed to list 8 things you may not know about us!
1. Our first date was Homecoming our senior year. We had liked each other for about 7 months though.
2. We were married 2 months and 16 days after David got home from his mission.
3. We love to play games. We really like playing games with Crystal and Stuart.
4. We once played an extremely intense game of Sorry with Ben and Beth Inouye. We talked as little as possible. Who knew that Sorry could be so intense.
5. We haven't even had our car for a year and a half and we already have 26,000 miles on it. When we got it, it had 200 miles.
6. Before we got married, the farthest east David had ever been in the US was Evanston, Wyoming. We have since extended that to Iowa!
7. Rosalee has been to the Bahamas, but had never been to Arizona until the 22nd of December.
8. David loves anything and everything that Rosalee cooks for him. Rosalee loves to cook for David because of all the compliments he gives her cooking.
We tag Mom Dougal and Kanien.

The Rules:
1. The player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves - try to find 6 you haven't already posted about!
2. At the end of the post, the player tags people and posts their names, and then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog for the rules.
Here it goes!
1. I am a closet Michael Jackson fan. It is almost embarrassing for me to say that!! I really like his older stuff. It all started when I was in Young Womens. My president, Jennifer Obray, would play the CDs while we were driving places. Then she would stop the song halfway through, rewind it a little bit, and make us practice over and over until we got the "uh" or the "woohoo" just right. Listening to those songs now reminds me of her and how much fun we had on our trips. Now I can listen whenever I want because I got Michael Jackson's Number Ones CD for Christmas.
2. This is a weird one. I have four less teeth than the average person. One of my molars didn't have a permanent tooth underneath. So when before I got braces, the dentist pulled out that molar, and one permanent molar from each side of my mouth. I kept those molars for years in the little plastic cup they gave me. I don't know if I still have them! Another thing about my teeth, I only lost about 6 teeth naturally. All the others were pulled out by the dentist at one time or another. I sure hope my kids get David's teeth and not mine!!!
3. One of my favorite places on earth is Nauvoo. I love its beauty, its history, and its spirit. It is amazing how prevalent the spirit is. As you walk down the street it is so amazing to think that Joseph once walked where you are walking. One thing that impressed me was how the spirit changes when I walked down the street and entered the RLDS's section of Nauvoo. It's something you'll have to experience to understand. I have been to Nauvoo three times - once in February for the reenactment of when the saints left (it was one degree colder when we were there than when the Saints left [-13*F]), once in the Fall with my young women's group, and once with my stake for youth conference. I can't wait until I can go back!
4. David is the only guy that I have ever kissed!!! And I wouldn't have it any other way.
5. I have been to 24 of the 50 states. I recently added Arizona to the list. In 39 days I will add Ohio and Kentucky to the list. I only listed states I can remember being in. My family drove to SC when I was 4 but I don't remember the drive, only SC. I have included in the number states that I have landed in for lay overs. I guess the only one so far was Georgia, and soon Kentucky. My goal is to visit each of the 50 states!!! The italicized states are the ones I have lived in.
California, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas.
6. Some people know this, but I really miss living in Nebraska. I love Nebraska. I take it hard when people tell me that Nebraska is boring to drive through. I know it is a long drive, but the state is beautiful. If I could I would go to Nebraska for every vacation. I love the plains and how it seems that you can see forever. I love the zoo there. The Henry Doorly Zoo is the most incredible zoo I have ever been to!!! It is another of my favorite places. I could go on and on about the zoo, but I won't. I lived in Nebraska for almost 7 years and I would love to live there for the rest of my life!!! But, we'll see.

More tales from kindergarten
So one of the boys in my class has been giving me A LOT of hugs since Monday or Tuesday. It was about 4 or 5 hugs a day. Well, today he probably gave me at least 10 hugs. When he was leaving after school got out, he gave me a big hug. I asked him "Why are you giving me so many hugs?" (in a nice way of course). His reply to me was, "Because I love you!" He had the biggest smile on his face when he said that. It was so adorable! It totally made my day.
A couple months ago, the mother of another boy in my class told me about her son's grandparents questioning him about school. They asked him if he liked his teacher. His reply to them was a very shy, "I love her!" So cute!!!
Today a girl in my class was not feeling very well. I told her she should probably go home, but she just cried! At recess time I asked her why she didn't want to go home. She replied, "I just want to stay with you!" It made me feel so good!
I love teaching kindergarten because of how loving and innocent the children are. It's fantastic to be surrounded every day by little children.
