How did this happen?

I was trolling through my spam emails the other day when I came across one about my kid being the winner in child modeling contest. I've never entered my kids in a contest? My eyes nearly fell out of my head when I scrolled down and saw her…..

That is not my kid...is it?
I think that everyone has a twin out there, but this is
just creepy. Even Adam did a double take.

25 Random things about me














If this looks familiar, it is because I was tagged on facebook but if you refer to #4 ,I thought that this would be a better place to post. So this post ends up being random things and a flash back Friday, all at the same time. I am really trying to step up my blogging this year. Seven post for all of 2008 is just shameful.


1.I pay full price for next to nothing, especially clothing and love to hunt for a good bargain. I also search for a coupon for everything and I love to search craigslist for great deals. Reuse, renew, recycle
2. My husband is my polar opposites, and that is a very good thing. He brings out the adventurous side of me.
3. I worry about every thing and have always been quite anxiety ridden.
4.I can be extremely private.
5. For my 13th birthday, my mom took me out and said I could buy what ever I liked. I bought a 100 dollars worth of books. So boring, but I was in heaven.







6. I don’t function well in large groups, but Adam's large family has helped me cope with this issue.
7. I will make a complete fool of myself, to hear my kids laugh.

8. I hate change, ex: I carried the same backpack from 8th grade until I graduated because no other backpack felt just right.
9. I can be very possessive, but not in the single white female kind of way. In a loyal, if you mess with them, you mess with me kind of way.
10. I love music so much so that in second grade instead of buying toys, I would take my allowance to Tower Record and buy 99cent cassette singles.
11. I love to travel and want to backpack around Europe one day.
12. I hate being the center of attention .
13. I have always wanted to adopt a child.
14. I dream of living abroad again with my children one day
15. I seek out information about the things that frighten me.
16. I wanted to be nothing but a doctor (a medical examiner to be exact) until the age of 24. While going to school and working as a lab tech at the U of U medical school, I realized that if my dream came true, I would not be able to raise a family in the manner that I felt was right. I mourned the lost of my life long dream until I had Rylee, and have not second guessed my decision since.
17. The closest person I have ever had die is my college roommate Jessa. She was from Apple Valley, Minnesota and the sweetest person I have ever known. It still makes me water up to think that I can’t write her an email or call her up.
18. Growing up I always felt so very tall and awkward (I am 5’7), until I left home and realized that I just grew up with a lot of very short boys.
19. In ten years, I can count the number of times on one hand, in which I have driven while Adam has been in the car.
20. After dating for four months Adam handed me his checkbook and I have paid the bills ever since.
21. Until the age of 12, I had a near perfect photographic memory. I would memorize stories out of the Friend, and give them as talks in primary, word for word. It would freak everyone out.
22. As each year passes, I become a worst speller.
23. I am and always have been a night owl.
24. I hate wearing the same outfit more than a couple of times.
25. I never thought I would be a stay at home mom, but being home is more rewarding and harder then I could have ever imagined.
