OK, I was tagged by Lauren to write 25 interesting things about me..they may not be interesting, just something you may not know about me...so here goes..
1. I am a returned missionary
2. I have never been to a foreign country besides Mexico, (does that even count?)
3. I absolutely had a terrific, care free child hood, and was the baby of the family
4. I loved, loved, loved, Michael Jackson when Beat It was out...I am so ashamed to admit it now! LOL Missy and I had a poster of him in a yellow sweater we called a store in Metro Center everyday to see if they got the poster in...
5. I love to go to the beach and love to go on cruises. I am convinced it is the best way to see the world.
6. I was blessed with wonderful friends growing up who had the same values I did, and I am so thankful for the church.
7. I cry very easily, over the good or the bad
8. I love to laugh and especially when I am laughing so hard I can't breathe. (I miss Missy's laugh)
9. One of my favorite things in the world is when the Raines come to visit ST.George. You guys make me happy!
10. I am determined to learn to wake board this year..I am 37, but hopefully I have some skills left, (wait, did I ever have any?!?! LOL)
11. I have a fascination with sharks that probably spawns from watching JAWS several hundred times with Grandpa Fewens one summer at the 24th avenue house...strange but true....and I seriously would like to go into a shark cage and feed sharks on a tour, they actually do that!!!
12. I am so glad I have 5 fabulous children.
13. I am an orphan, wait , can you be an orphan at 37? I miss my parents. and Missy.
14. I love to scrapbook, but seem to go in cycles of actually producing stuff, or just THINKING about it! ha!
15. I dream of being a more organized, structured person, but like they say, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks...
16. I want to go to Europe before I die, and Hawaii
17. Sense and Sensibility is my all time favorite show, it makes me cry though, so I don't watch it too often
18. I am a fully recovered Diet Coke addict, although I still think it is a FABULOUS drink! I do feel better without it! I have been "clean" for over 2 months!
19. You know how some people have boundless amounts of energy, that is NOT me, but I wish it was!
20. I love to fish. and want to go back to Alaska to fish again, for Halibut and Salmon! It was fabulously beautiful and fun!
21. I pray for our country...
22. I cannot tolerate people who are intolerant and bigots (they do exist still)
23. I love Primary! I wish every child in the world could be taught the things that we teach in Primary. It is so simple and true! But I do confess to having a headache after primary every week! LOL
24. I have a horrible sweet tooth. It is a struggle, but I am abstaining from sugar! Yikes! someone go have some chocolate cake from COSTCO for me ok?? :)
25. I love the beach and if I had enough money, I would have a beach house.....
It is funny, because if I did this list later today or tomorrow I am sure it might be completely different! I am so thankful for my life! Thanks Lauren, this was fun, did you learn anything about me you didn't know??? Probably not!:)

That's my girl!!!
Wow! OK, every year two students are chosen from Tonaquint Intermediate school (6th and 7th grade) to attend the National Junior Leaders Conference....and my Laura Lee was the one chosen from the 7th grade, "in recognition of academic excellence,extracurricular involvement, and leadership potential." WOW, I am so proud of my girl!!!! The conferences are world wide and kids from all over the country attend, mainly in Washington DC, California and NY.
WOW again Loll! I love you so much and can't wait to see what the future holds for you! You are a shining star and can be anything you want to be! You are only 12 years old and you have won more awards than I ever have and I am 37 years old! :) Enjoy life and keep on making such good choices! I have to say that you are just as brilliant on the inside as you are on the outside. A mother couldn't be prouder! Thank you for being the "second mother" around here and helping to take care of me. love, mom
Brett's Temple
Today, Brett showed me his Lego project....He said, "look mom, I made it!" (big smile) then said, "It's the temple, my temple!" Of course my heart melted, and I am so thankful that my parents taught me, so that I can teach my kids about the temple and the gospel. So, even at 2 and a half, he knows the temple is important and as he says when we drive by the St. George temple, "It's up high!". I love you Brett! You light up my life, my baby number 5...I am so glad we knew you needed to be in our family!!!!
