TAGGED- Things about Me
Tag ed
So Deanna tagged me to say 2-7 things about me, so here it goes....This was a lot harder than I thought!!!
1. I love to dance. My mom put me in dance classes at the age 3. I started with ballet and tap and loved every min of it. At the time I could move up to point things fell apart at home and it was to expensive. I really would like to find a studio that teaches older students and get back into tap and ballet. In Junior high I was on the pom squad and then in Highschool did Cheerleading which did 8 counts and fun stuff like that. Then in college I just got down at apt dances and at school dances! I love dancing! I loved being in Vegas and having my work girls to go dancing one a month downtown. It truly is one of my passions and I find myself happy when I am able to do it.
2. I can be clumsy! I have issues of my right side of my body. I tend to not make enough room for it around corners. I hit my shouldars, face, leg, toe all the time. In high school I came around the corner at the top of the stairs and hit my right side of the face so hard it caused bruising. Get me around stairs and I am in trouble. Not so much going down but going up!!! I fall up the stairs a lot and find that more embaressing cause WHO DOES THAT?!!! I also have issues of not giving myself enough room for my head when I need to duck. I ALWAYS hit my head on the car, golf cart, under the table, and so forth and the worst thing is I can do it once and then 10 min later do it again. I swear Ryan's grandpa a couple of weeks ago started telling me watch your head every time before I would get back in the cart!
3. I have SERIOUS issues with movement!! I get motion sickness all the time. I get the normal from riding in a car and not being able to read or write and I need to look directly out the front but my issues go even further. I have issues at grocery stores where I have memorized Walmart and I know on the shelves where things are so I walk with the cart looking forward and stop to where I need to turn look and get the item and then start again looking forward to the next destination. I CAN NOT look at the isles and walk at the same time or by the end of the grocery shopping, I AM THROWING UP! The worst place is BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO!!!! You know where you start at on end of the store and you follow the wall looking at all the new releases and trying to figure out what to watch, well I leave that to others cause I will be in the bathroom at the end of the walk if I do that. I have issues watching others swing, run in circles, me going in circles and anyone jumping up and down. I even get sick if I have to look up and down at someone to give eye contact while they are talking and I am trying to do something else!!! To top it off I DONT do any rides at carnivals or amusement parks!! My whole life I thought I was such a lame girl and couldnt understand why 1. I felt like my whole stomach was coming out of my mouth at the end and 2. Why do people think that the stomach drop is FUN. Lucky for me I have met some great therapists that I work with called Occupational Therapists and they specialize in the vestibular system and have done things with me and pretty much my visual system is overly sensitive and that causes my sickness in movement. I later learned that people feel the stomach drop but they dont feel the after math of it like I do. So I have yet another issue but at least there is a reason and I am not this wimp that I always thought I was.
4. The love of children. When people ask me what I like to do for fun, the first thought that comes into my mind is being around little kids. I couldnt wait till age 11 and being able to babysit. Any family in my ward that had little kids while I was growing up I was around. I thought that I would grow out of it especially when highschool hit but I still chose babysitting out of hanging out with friends, granted they were all parting but still!! I started working in daycares at the age of 16 I loved teaching Pre-School and watching a little one work on their name and when they got it the excitement of achievement! I now have a new love of children. A love for children who to the world dont seem to be perfect but they are! I feel greatful to be in a job where I am completely happy working with little children.
5. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. What I mean about that is I think I cry a lot!! I dont mean too, but I cant help it. If someone tells me a sad story, spiritual story, I see friends that I havent in a while, leaving friends, a sweet card is written to me, a gift is sent to me, lessons at church, and so on I will have tears running down my cheeks. I have stained many dress shirts mainly Dave and Ryan's but still!! I have a look on my face and then the lip begins to quiver and then the whole jaw and then I am in trouble and the water works begins. Kirsten and Dave think it is hilarous and love to talk about it to Ryan. I think it has gotten worse in the last few years as I have been dealing with an emotional roller coaster but then I think back to college and then younger and I dont think so, IT IS JUST ME!!!!

How are you guys? I loved reading all the funny little things about you and it looked like your roomie reunion was so fun! When can we have a reunion? I miss you girl! I wish your phone worked!!! Let's chat soon!
Hey remember when we went on the Tram at Snowbird before Court and I got married? I felt sooo bad for you cause you were down on the floor of the tram scared to death, or maybe it just made you sick. I had no idea you got motion sickness like that. Crazy!
I loved reading your tag. You were probably so sick to your stomach when you left our house. Chasing three girls around tends to make me dizzy, I can't imagine how you felt!! I sure love ya and miss you SOOOOOO much!!!
Thanks for doin the tag thing! I love learning new things about people. I get super motion sick too, not quite as bad as you, but I can relate to the car thing for sure! And the crying thing too! I think it kinda freaked Mike out how much I cry when we first got married. But now he's used to it!
