So I was tagged... again....by Crystal. I guess I must not post enough so my friends tag me so I will post. So Crystal (and Alyssa because I didn't post last week) this post is for you!
100 things about myself
1. I was born on a Sunday.
2. My mom says that I was her most beautiful baby.
3. I wore cloth diapers. YUCK!
4. When I was three months old we got our dog Koko who was two months old.
5. Koko is the best dog EVER!!!
6. Koko was a black lab/pit bull mix.
7. He loved Chocolate.
8. He loved little children.
9. He loved when little children had chocolate.
10. Koko died when we both were 16. It was and is the only death of a close loved one that I have experienced. It was very hard and I still get choked up if I talk about his death too much.
11. I share my birthday with John Wayne.
12. I also share my birthday with Lenny Kravitz.
13. This year the whole nation will honor my birthday.
14. I have had stitches in my forehead two times. Once when I was 1 and the other time when I was 5. Both times my "accident" was caused by my loving elder brother Jacob.
15. I love my big brother Jacob!
16. I went to all day kindergarten.
17. I teach all day kindergarten.
18. I had my first boyfriend in 1st grade. This lasted until 3rd grade. His name was David Peterson.
19. The first bike I rode was a She-Ra bike. It only had one training wheel. So I learned very quickly.
20. I lost my first tooth in first grade.
21. I was baptized in Utah even though we lived in Louisiana at the time.
22. It "snowed" (technically iced) one time while we lived in Louisiana. It froze one of our big pine trees in the front yard. The tree fell over. Luckily it fell the opposite direction of the house.
23. We moved to Nebraska when I was 8 1/2.
24. I love Nebraska!
25. I love climbing trees. I did it frequently when I lived in NE.
26. - 38. One time my dad made my brother Jacob and I walk home from church. Now for all the Utah folks, that's not a problem. But in Nebraska our church building was more than 2 miles from our house. He did this as a punishment because we had been fighting while setting up for a ward dinner. He punished us, though, after I had tripped and my brother had been very kind and helped me up. My dad thought we were fighting again and sent us home. We were supposed to walk holding hands all the way down the busiest street in Papillion. We also had to cross a highway. We held hands for maybe 5 minutes, and ran the rest of the way home. When we got home, my dad met us there, and told us he knew we didn't hold hands. So, he made us walk back to church. This time we had to hold hands because we knew this time that he was following us. He took pity on us after we had walked a mile or so more and drove us the rest of the way to church.
39. I cut off part of my sister's finger when I slammed the bathroom door.
40. - 45. Koko was great at escaping. One time he ran away and crossed the two busiest streets in Papillion and proceeded to go to Target. He walked in the store and was caught and eventually taken to the Humane Society. We always joke that we was going Christmas shopping for us. Oh and he was 15 when he did this. The ladies at the humane society were surprised when we told them that he was 15 because he acted very young.
46. My students really like that story about Koko.
47. I moved to Utah when I was 15 1/2.
48. I have liked 5 guys during my lifetime whose names start with J - Josh, John, Jordan, Jeff, and another Josh.
49. I have liked 3 guys named David.
50. I figured I would either marry a David or a guy whose name starts with J.
51. I am married to David James.
52. Isn't that ironic?
53. I love my husband!
54. My favorite College football and basketball teams are the COUGARS!!!
55. I am registered as a republican.
56. Some of my favorite movies are Pride and Prejudice (both the A&E version and the new version), Ever After, and What a Girl Wants.
57. I love watching Chick flicks.
58. I have watched the 5 hour Pride and Prejudice movie several times.
59. I didn't think Mr. Darcy was hot until the 4th episode when he went for a swim and walked to his house in a wet shirt.
60. I have read Pride and Prejudice 3 times and will most definitely read it many more times.
61. I want to name one of my daughters Eliza Jane. Yes, it is somewhat inspired by Pride and Prejudice.

Wow, that must have taken forever to do...please don't tag me...thanks!
But it was fun to read, and i'm glad that you are going to put belly pictures! its about time!
Alyssa, I am the one who loves hot sauce from Taco Bell. Any time we go we grab lots and whatever we don't use we keep in our fridge. Needless to say we have at least a 3 month supply of hot sauce. The Church said to store what we eat, right?
