Nora tagged me with this one. I'm supposed to describe 6 things that aren't generally known about me. I'm sure my biggest blog reader will know all this stuff, but everyone else might not.
1. I miss karate. In high school, I got really good at Chi To Ru Karate, earning a rank of Brown III (brown is the last belt before black). I even won second place in katas at a tournament and became an instructor for a while. I miss it like crazy. It was such great exercise and so much fun that I (almost) forgot I was working out. I had a pretty good washboard stomach for a while! I walked into a dojo once a couple years ago to inquire about classes, but I lost my nerve. The head of the school was quite a piece of work, plus I couldn't figure out how I was going to pay for it. Maybe someday when my kids are grown, I'll go back.
2. I hate shopping for myself. Trent buys most of my wardrobe. Good thing he has good taste!
3. I am happier when I am on a diet-and-exercise plan. Half the time, I don't think it's really even about getting to that target weight. What does that say about me? I guess I prefer an organized, regimented life and the success that comes from disciplining myself.
4. I hate trying new things. I always get mad at myself because I want to be good at everything right away. Generally, I'm pretty patient with others, but not with myself. Sometime, ask Trent about teaching me to ski.
5. I am intensely competitive. A couple of examples: (1) Trent and I went to a charity auction a few months ago. Trent was dying laughing because after he bid on something in the silent auction segment, I started circling the table like a shark, daring anybody with my eyes, to beat it. (2) A couple days ago, Cam and I went to the mall to walk for exercise. Afterward, as I was loading him up in the car, I heard another mom across the aisle in the parking garage telling her kids, "Hurry up, or she's going to beat us!" Now... I'm a mom, too. And I know it was probably just a ploy to get her little kids excited about hurrying into their car seats. However, I didn't want to lose, so I hurried and scrambled the stroller into the back, jumped into the car, and pulled out seconds before them (whew!) just in the nick of time. I have to laugh at myself when I do things like that, but I just can't help it.
6. I would love to be a dancer. I was in a show choir in high school, and I got a taste of ballroom in college and went nuts for it. When I went home, I found a studio and took classes there for a while. If I had the time and the money, I would love to dance all the time... even though I struggle at first with a new routine and I feel like it takes me 10 times as long as anyone else to learn.

Hunky Hubby Survey
Okay, okay... so usually our blog is not very text-heavy, but I just got tagged twice and Trent is away at a campout, :( so I'm going to give in... Emily tagged me with this one.
What is your husband's name? Trent
How long have you been together? Married for 5 1/2 years; friends for almost 10 years now.
How long did you date? dated for 2 months, engaged for 2 months (after knowing each other for 4 years)
Who eats more? Probably me. He's not a huge eater. I used to make him lunches to take to work, but stopped when I started finding moldy sandwiches in the backseat of his truck.
Who said "I love you" first? Trent
Who is taller? Trent is 6 inches taller than me.
Who is smarter? Our different styles of intellegence complement each other. He's the mathematician, and I'm the English whiz. Hence, banker and editor.
Whose temper is worse? Mine. I've got that little latin flare sometimes. He's so mellow and patient. That's one of the things I love most about him.
Who does the laundry? I do.
Who does the dishes? Most of the time, I do. But I love it when he jumps in and helps.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? From the foot of the bed, I do now, because it was more feasible to put the cradle on that side of the room when Camden was born.
Who pays the bills? We split them up.
Who cooks dinner? We love to cook together.
Who drives when you are together? Usually Trent.
Who is more stubborn? Good question.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Neither.
Who kissed who first? Trent kissed me.
Where was your first kiss? At his house. We were watching "First Knight."
Who asked who out first? Trent asked me to come out from BYU to CO for his mission homecoming. That's when we started dating. Does that count?
Who proposed? Trent drove from CO to UT to surprise me with a ring for my 22nd birthday. Best present I've ever had.
Who is more sensitive? Tie.
Who has more friends? No clue.
Who wears the pants in the family: Camden (ha ha... Trent).
Where did you meet your husband? In the singles ward in FL! My dad was the bishop, and Trent was my hometeacher.
What was the first thing you said to your husband? The first time I remember talking to him was at a singles dance. He was DJ-ing and was on the stage, and I sauntered up and said, "Hey, hometeacher! When are you going to come visit me?"
Where was your first date? P.F. Chang's. Trent had invited a bunch of people, and I was the only one who ended up going with him. He didn't know it was a date until the end, when he was the one who got to pay the check. (Hey! I'm a lady!) He still picks on me about that one.
Where did you get engaged? In my cozy little basement apartment called, "The Underground." (Seriously, there was a sign out front that said "The Underground.")
Where were you married? Orlando Temple.
Where was the honeymoon? Florida Keys.
If you could have changed anything about it what would it have been? Not a thing.

Okay, Ash... this one's for you.
1. I absolutely love... my boys.
2. I don't care if... I never get my Master's degree.
3. I like to... have a clean house. It makes me feel so at-peace and put-together.
4. I play... with my adorable baby for at least a couple hours a day. It's so fun to have an excuse to be silly once in a while and to have someone who thinks I am hilarious when I'm being goofy.
5. I have a horrible habit of... stalling before I go to bed. Just ask my husband (and my parents when I was little). Trent says when Camden starts doing it, I have to deal with it because I'm the one who passed it on. Although I have it on good authority that he wasn't such a quick-to-bed kiddo either.
6. I will never... forget how blessed I am to have ended up married to my best friend.
