I've Been TAGGED...Thanks Carrie!

You can thank my sister, Carrie, for this!

Here are the rules:A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asks them to read your blog.

1. When I was a little girl I loved to sit in front of the T.V. and suck my thumb and smell my hair. To this day I love to smell my hair when I am sitting in the car, in front of the T.V. , etc.

2. I love to sing and as a child I sang the song, "Dumb Dog" from Annie with our golden retriever for a ward talent show. I remember being so nervous that he was going to get up and walk away. I was also in honor choir and show choir until my sophmore year of High School. I still love to sing and sing with our community group, called the Zephyr Singers.

3. This is a really embarrassing(sp) one, but my entire family knows about it so what the heck! When I was in high school I was writing a missionary that I had a huge crush on. Actually I met his little brother first and we talked a few times, but then I developed this crush on his older brother through writing him on his mission. Well as all teenage girls do, I wrote my first name with his last name and so on and so forth. Well, somehow this piece of paper got stuck in with one of the letters I sent to him. I only found out because he copied the paper and sent it back to me and asked me what it was. I thought for sure that my older sister, Carrie, had played an evil joke on me and asked her about it. That was a bad mistake because she told all of my family about while we had company over. I was so horrified! My dad called me "Nowski" for the longest time.

4. I loved gymnastics growing up and went to lots of meets until I was in 8th grade. It was so much fun, but I felt it was taking up my whole life and not as fun anymore because it was all about competition and being the best. I also kept getting injured so I decided it was time to stop. I still love watching gymnastics and wish I could still do all the fun tricks.

5. After gymnastics I started diving and that was a blast. My junior year of high school I was at State and was in second place, but then I hit my hands all the way to my forearms on the board and ended up finishing in 7th place. I competed the second day with my hands wrapped and bandage. We weren't sure if they were broke at first because they were so swollen...thank goodness they weren't! After that day I never would do a reverse one and one half because I was terrified of hitting the board. We have the whole thing on tape and I came so close to hitting my head! I still love to dive, but I don't get too crazy anymore.

6. I met my husband while I was living with my sister in Mesquite, Nevada. My sister actually moved back to Missouri three months after I moved in with her. I really had a bad feeling about going back to Oklahoma, so I stayed and lived with a couple in my ward. I ended up going to a young singles campout and I can remember it like yesterday. I was talking to my sister, Lauri, on the phone and she asked me if there were any guys of interest there. I said, " Actually, one just pulled up and I think he's pretty cute." Later that night we were around the campfire and this guy (now my husband) started talking to me. I just remember the conversation flowing and it being so easy to talk to him. I was really interested in him after we talked and wanted to ride by him on the 4 wheeler ride the next day. The rodeo was in town and I tried my hardest to hint to him that I really wanted to go and even asked where and what time it started. That afternoon I waited all day for him to call me, but then another called and asked me to the rodeo. I really didn't want to go, but hated to be rude. Right after that, Josh called and asked me and I had to tell him I really wanted to go with him, but that another guy had just called. At the rodeo I looked all over for him. So funny...he was sitting right in front of me. I had to get up because my bum was killing me, so I was at the top of the bleachers standing. Josh got up and joined me and we talked for the rest of the rodeo. I don't think my date was too thrilled. After that, we were together all the time and eventually married.

Okay, I am done. I tag...Rikki, Mel, Misti, Natalee, Annie, and Trine
