25 Random Things

1. I am 25 and only been on one second date in my life and it happened last October.

2. I got my first kiss on that second date. Good Times!

3. I am the kind of person, where, if you tell me I won't do something, I will do it just to spite you. (Only if it doesn't go against everything that I believe in.)

4. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as a Mormon. Because of this, I have never smoked, drank alcohol, tea, or coffee. I served a mission for 19 months and was only able to talk to my family through letters and email on Mondays. Except for Christmas and Mother's day when I could call.

5. My family is the most important thing in my life, and they don't really understand that it kills me to see bad things happen to them for choices that they have made. I know we will be together forever, and that is what keeps me going. I love my parents, they make me laugh all the time. This is my moms talent. She is getting her teeth fixed and may kill me for this post but I love that she can just laugh at herself. We Love You MOM!!!

6. After I graduated from college, Tawnya Bator and I drove to Vegas and hung out for a week. It was the best time I have ever had on a road trip!

7. One time on a family vacation with the Bator family, I went skinny dipping, more than once. It was the most liberating thing I have ever done. They had floating toys in the lake, so while no one was watching I got up on the trampoline (naked) and jumped around then into the water. :)

8. I have a very weird memory. I can remember birthdays and addresses for most people I meet and get to know, but I recently found out that I have no Idea what happened in history. I was told that Lincoln was assassinated!!! Holy Crow, who knew. :) That was when the next hour or two of history lesson happened and I had no idea!

9. I have a hard time saying no, especially when it comes to family and money. Ever since I was old enough to drive and have a job, maybe even younger than that, my family has asked me for rides or money. It always seems like they really need it so I give it to them, which ends up with me being broke. Well my mom #2 told me that my new years resolution is "It is all about me!" SO this year I am being selfish and going to "JUST SAY NO!"

10. Three of my siblings are married or were married and I have only been to one of the weddings. My brother, John, got married 3 days after I left for my mission and my sister, Mandi, got married 4 months before I got home. They each have two kids and I love them all so much!!!! I love it when all they want to do is go see their auntie Lauri.

11. The summer after I graduated from high school, all four of my brothers got in a car accident in the same month. It started with Joey hitting four trees on the way to a cast party at the Tarmann's. Then Chris and Howard got pulled into the ditch on their way to work the next morning. Then Joey again and then John so when I went to college the next week, my dad called and said, no more accidents for one year.

12. I hardly ever go to the movie theater but I went and saw Twilight 6 times in a week and a half.

13. I was the first one in my family, including both my parents, to get a college degree. I have a BS in Pyschology with a minor in sociology. I have applied to grad school and am just waiting to see if I get in.

14. I realized the other day, that I am single still because I don't know who I really am. I like to make other people happy, so I will do whatever I can to do it, even if it is not what I want.

15. I was not a very cute little girl, except for my dimples. I was asked if I was a boy or a girl all the way until I was in 8th grade. Sad for my self esteem. With the help of some very good friends, I am discovering that I can be a cute girl. I just bought my first pair of Hooker boots last night. :)

16. I hate the phone. If you tell me to call you sometime, or ask me to call you back, chances are it won't happen. It has a little to do with the fear of rejection. Maybe they are too busy to talk, or we will run out of things to say, or I sound like a dork. Who knows, but I am sorry if I don't call you back.

17. I really love to leave my phone number at restaurants where I have an attractive waiter. One time when I left it at a Texas Road House, the waiter gave it to a different kid, named Robert, who started texting me. He was a senior in high school, so I figured I could go to jail. He was all for it, but I wasn't ready for that kind of commitment. That is the only time I have gotten a response, and I have done it MANY times!

18. I have a few nicknames. "Beast" is from track, "Clicker" is from Cross Country, "Spitz" is from anyone that doesn't want to or can't (for those on the mission with me) call me my first name and my last name is way to long, "Dolly Dimples" is what my grandma calls me, and "LJ" is only my dad (I don't like it from anyone else).

19. Ever since my senior year in high school, my knees like to swell up for no reason. I have had x-rays and MRI's on both of them and doctors still don't know what is wrong. One time my left knee got so big I could walk and they had to drain 120 ml of fluid out of it. Sick!

20. I love to work on cars! My dad taught me everything I know. He always likes to have someone outside with him working because we can go get tools he needs. I was always the lucky one. I told him that I get all his tools when he is too old to get use out of them. He doesn't totally see my vision yet. :)

21. I have never lived in Wyoming, but that is where my mom is from and I call it home, whenever I am there. I love visiting Lovell. The smell of the oil refineries when you are driving down to Lovell, helps me know I am almost there. I love it!

22. I love dimples! I found out that dimples are actually weaknesses in your facial muscles. My niece, Madysen, was born 2 months before I left on my mission and she has dimples just like me. We were the only two, until Logan came along. Well while on my mission, my companion, "Harward" a.k.a. Heather, and I walked past a guys with dimples and I said, (kind of loudly) "Did you see that guys weaknesses" It was hilarious! Good Times!

23. I did have a boyfirend in 8th grade, if you can really call it that. We didn't really do anything, but that is the year that I really changed. I have a lot of great stories, and most of them start with "One time in 8th Grade..." or "One time in Cross Country..." Those were life changing experiences!

24. I am right handed, but I have to wear my watch on my right wrist. It is kind of an obsessive thing. I have things on my left side. When I go to a restaurant and we sit in a booth, I have to have my left side to the isle, otherwise I am uncomfortable. Or if I am in a row of seats, I need to have people on both sides of me or just on the right side. I know, I am weird.

25. When I move to a new place I can usually fit all of my possessions in my little Honda civic. I recently bought a mattress which will make it impossible to fit in, but perhaps it will ride on top. I can make anything fit into a car. I am the tetris master!
