100

So I had to steal this idea from KaRynn who's list made me think of some funny memories. Here are the 100 things you may/may not know about me..

1. I would gladly warp back in time to relive some of my most fun highschool & college moments
2. I haven't had a working tub in the past year and a half....I miss baths!
3. Jane Austen is my hero - I intend to own every book and movie versions that are out there
4. I've never broken a single bone in my body and my only claim to fame is a sprained ankle on the 1st grade field trip to the zoo
5. The dark scares me still when I'm in bed alone
6. I somehow survived a whole year of college going to bed at 3 in the morning every school night (an average of 4 hrs of sleep or less)

10. One of my many life goals is to swim with dolphins
11. I've never drank any kind of cola drink in my life and still think it's disgusting
12. Ever since I can remember, I would prefer to have all boys -- teenage girls? No thanks!
13. I remember seeing Mulan in the theaters with a childhood friend
14. I never wanted a sister....ever
15. Australia has always had a hold on me, still not sure why. Definitely a place I would love to visit one day!
16. I was notorious in middle school/early high school for writing stories...sappy love stories which could still cause deep embarrassment if ever found
17. I think black licorice is the grossest thing there is
18. 'Book worm' describes me perfectly - I'm reading constantly and the library is one of my favorite places in the world
19. I can't stand people who harass those who spank their children.. that's fine if you don't but don't interfere with someone else's parenting. Yes- I intend to spank my children.
20. I've attended 7 temples so far in my life: LA (baptisms), Newport, Idaho Falls, Salt Lake (bro's wedding), Columbus, Spokane and Tri-cities
21. I've only had 1 birthday party in my whole life (thanks KaRynn!) which was for my 17th I think - and yet I never really cared (parties for me weren't important).
22. I taught Tot Soccer for 4 years and still think of those as some of my best memories
23. My mom is a convert to the church so I have immense respect for missionaries and my brothers!
24. I loathe stick shift cars...I mean really really dislike them. I learned to drive on one and flatly refuse to do so again. Luke owns one since I've known him and therefore I've never driven it. It's not because I don't know how, I just hate it!

30. Because of the the item above, my older brother and I wanted to go to BYU together and go to swing dance clubs so we could show up everyone there with our mad skills
31. I LOVE animals and several people (my dad being the front-runner) claim I have a special gift with them
32. I've sworn off all horror movies forever (with good reason)
33. As a teenager I had a bright green room, it actually was pretty sweet. I miss that room!
34. Another life goal is to own a horse (or at least ride once a week) and become a horse trainer as I already have a knack to it, so my instructors say
35. I'm a sucker for old TV shows and the GameShow network
36. My family conversations consist of about 50% of quoted movie lines. All would-be spouses must keep up or they are not approved of. :) (last part may or may not be true)
37. I was homeschooled for a good part of my life but attended public preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade in Colorado
38. I have an immense dislike for mopping and vow to never do it again until I own a home. This is thanks to my mother for 'allowing' me to mop every Saturday morning of my teenage life. (It would take me at least 1 1/2 hours)
39. While I have a very short fuse, I forgive people easily
40. I would have loved to live in the 50's era - Swing Dancing!
41. Don't get me started on a few certain subjects (drivers, young mormon girls getting married too early, liberals, wives who don't support their husbands while he's in school) because I will get on my soapbox for a good portion of time
42. I still shudder remembering what a brat I was from 12-15...attitude adjustment was well needed
43. I had friends who thought I was making a mistake getting married when I did... I'll just say this, if you're not mature don't do it. I was and I've never been happier.

45. I've been to only one other country besides the US, Mexico on a family cruise but I hope to remedy that by traveling to Canada soon!

47. I've never talked back to my parents, never. I was too scared!
48. I always wanted to marry a cowboy....and I married a lawyer instead. Kinda ironic.
49. I was OBSESSED with Orlando Bloom in highschool. He literally was plastered all over my room.
50. I fell out of the two story window when I was 2 onto our wooden deck in CO. My mom was taking a shower and Jeremy tried to open the locked sliding door to get me. When he couldn't, he ran to tell my mom 'Deveny fell out the window!" She was freaked to say the least but I was perfectly fine
51. I've eaten shark & escargot and liked both
52. Was a member of the 'Trapizoid of Death' in Seminary - basically a group of guy/girl friends who loved to talk. But don't get me wrong, I had 2 years of 100% attendance and lettered.

57. It still weirds me out to say I have a 'career', I don't think I'm old enough for one! (I'm the youngest member of the company) Something seems wrong about ordering around middle-aged people..
58. I have bugged Luke about once a week for the past year that I want a puppy, it's just to remind him to buy me one once we have a house. I don't want him to forget. haha

62. Unfortunately I've had one run-in with the cops, campus cops that is. Freshman year + prank wars with boys + stealing their clothes from the dorms + getting chased by the boys = campus cop coming to our doors and having us return the clothes in his car to the dorm...with a huge group of peeps watching. Classic. (The cop was cool by the way)
63. I've had my life threatened by a stranger over the phone (while conducting surveys)
64. I think Jack Johnson is the MAN
65. I'll always remember visiting my Grandpa Mortensen after his stroke and holding his hand. He couldn't talk or move but he could squeeze your hand.
66. Had a bug fly into my ear at the Worst Girls Camp in Existence (not just because of the bug), where it then had to be 'flushed' out with water. Yes, I bawled like a baby
67. I would write apology notes to my parents because when I'm upset I can never say all I want to. My mom has saved these which is a constant embarrassment to me but provides endless entertainment for my brothers and husband. Thanks mom.
68. Remember playing the 'Sweet, Tangy, Sour' game in the car when I was 10 (wave to other drivers - wave back they're sweet, just look at you is tangy, ignore or rude gestures equals sour)
69. I still crave In-N-Out now and then. It will remain my #1 favorite fast food place forever

88. I work and talk with people all over the world - China, Brazil, Canada, India, London, Netherlands, and more. I think it's pretty cool. :)
