I'm taking Lucy's challenge and trying to come up with 100 things about me.
- My favorite color is green. I was in heaven in the 90s when it was so popular.
- I was 23 when I got married.
- I was married at the Moore Mansion in the Tri-Cities. Our wedding was outside and the reception inside.
- We were sealed in the Portland Temple.
- I love kids
- If I wasn't an attorney I'd be a kindergarten teacher.
- I became an attorney because of an inspiring government teacher in high school.
- While pregnant with Ally, I sat in the back of my classes eating crackers and praying I wouldn't throw up.
- I had a really good friend in law school who I did everything with for 3 years. She moved to Colorado after graduation and we haven't talked since (one of my biggest regrets!)
- My best missionary moment was with my husband. He asked me on our 2nd date, "What's the deal with Mormons and Pepsi?" He got the first 5 discussions that night!
- I always fill in all the birthdays and anniversaries for the year on a new calendar on New Year's Day.
- I usually only make a couple New Year's resolutions, to insure I keep them. This year's are to give more service and use our YMCA membership.
- My first job was a sales clerk at JC Penneys.
- My 2nd job was a clerk at the swimsuit shop at Wet-n-Wild Waterpark in the Tri-Cities. One of my duties (I can't believe I'm going to share this) was to walk around the park with one of the shop's swimsuits on. I would then tell people if they were interested in the suit to visit the gift shop. Needless to say, I subjected myself to this humiliation because I had a crush on one of the lifeguards and walking around the park gave me an opportunity to flirt.
- I hate laundry.
- I love organizing, but get frustrated things don't stay organized with 4 children.
- My hardest calling was Gospel Doctrine teacher.
- My easiest calling was typing the program each week for Sacrament Meeting.
- I love getting letters in the mail
- I always snack at night after the kids go to bed. And, I always go in phases. I'll eat ice cream every night for a month, and then it's cereal. Right now I'm in a Triscuit phase.
- Because I write technically for a living, I have a hard time writing creatively. Blogging has really helped me work on this.
- We have a fake Christmas tree.
- My biggest "want" right now is a cabin near Priest Lake. We've been looking for about a year now but can't find the right one (i.e., one in our price range!)
- I love people who politely look away when your child is having a temper tantrum in public.
- I volunteer in my children's classrooms. I enjoy working one on one with the children and tolerate making copies, doing die-cuts, redoing bulletin boards, etc.
- I wish I could sew better.
- I've never made a quilt.
- I cannot sing.
- I hate the "terrible twos" and how unpredictable a two-year old can be. See #24
- I'm a listener more than a talker.
- I have a hard time opening up to people.
- I'm an only child.
- My favorite donut is an eclair...love the custard filling!
- My favorite song right now is Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars."
- My favorite radio stations are 103.1 and 92.9.
- I feel guilty listening to my favorite radio stations when my kids are in the car and instead listen to kagu (Gonzaga's classical station) which almost puts me to sleep when I drive!
- I've never been on a cruise.
- I like dark chocolate.
- I want to go to Washington DC someday.
- I wish I had a sister to talk to about anything, everything, nothing . . . (poor Andrew has to file this void for me.)
- I moved to Seattle with 2 of my friends after college graduation. Andrew came over 2 weeks later and proposed (nice strategy on my part, huh???)
- I like to wait at doctor/dentist offices because I get to read gossipy, celebrity magazines.
Okay, I failed. Maybe it's just too late at night (I should have tried this earlier in the day). Good thing getting to 100 wasn't one of my New Year's Resolutions! :-)

Carolyn, I love it! I'm totally with you on the radio station. But I do like the gonzaga station. I miss rocking out in my car, though.
So much I didn't know. I am making this month make or break for my YMCA membership. If I don't go 10 times then it's over. I should go today but....
Carolyn...we have the same favorite song!! We "listen" to the same radio stations. I also turn to classical or "talk" radio. I love your list!!!
I turn to classical or "talk" radio when the kids are in the car that is...

#40 - "I wish I had a sister to talk to about anything, everything, nothing . . ."
