Day 06- A hobby you have.

I love to paint crafts. I can’t draw, so I trace a pattern on and paint them, but I love creating things and giving them to people. If you want to get one...let me know! Or check out DDM Creations (link is on the left side). :)

Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to.

I've been lucky to have a great family that believes in family vacations. Every year during the summer we took a vacation. If we couldn't afford to go anywhere, we went camping to South Fork. I love travelling and I have been to every state west of the Mississippi River (including Alaska and Hawaii). I have so many favorite spots and memories...but here are some pictures...I know it said to post one picture, but I can't help it!

Day 04- List 15 songs that represent your life’s soundtrack.

Not really sure what it means by life's soundtrack...but these are some rememberable songs for me :)

1) “Michelle”- By the Beatles (what I’m named after)

2) “Life is a Highway”—go through life …never know what is going to happen

3) “Pomp and Circumstance” (played it many times in band…and also I’ve walked to it 4 times!)

4) “With or Without You” (good memories from HS---but what I think of a lot)

5) “Candy”- by Mandy Moore, any time I hear this song I think of the crazy dance some roomies and I made up and danced to a lot! We did it for Institute once...and all the time in our apartment.

6) “Tubthumping”—by Chumbawamba! Man, these are basically things that bring up memories….Meghan and I would always go crazy when this came on in high school.

7) “Nearer my God to Thee”--first song I played in Sacrament meeting and Monika sang. Nerve racking! But I also love this song because I always want to be near.

8) “The Dance”- by Garth- on the Trek we had a very musical family. We all sang this one night around the campfire. Matt Fish and Jeff Brown played the guitar and Ruthie Price played her violin/fiddle. I think of it every time it comes on

9) “ABC’s”---how can not anyone think of this song? LOL

10) “Hit me baby one more time!” Yes, I was a Britney Spears fan…ok, I still am, I can’t help it, it makes me dance a little and makes me smile

11) Braveheart soundtrack for 2 reasons- 1) it was my final solo opportunity in High School band, I had a huge part right at the beginning! I loved it but was scared! And 2) I always had it on in the background while studying. Mrs. Collins always put on some type of music when were taking tests, she said it helped our memory. This is one of the first things she played, so I had to have it and used it all through college.

12) “Battle of New Orleans”—it’s a really old song. But my mom and I sing it all the time when it comes on her radio. There are 2 parts, and we sing! We aren’t good at singing and no one will ever hear us sing it…but its fun!

13) “Sweet Hour of Prayer”- I came from a very small ward in SJ….no one really knew how to play the piano in Young Women’s besides a few of us, and we really didn’t know that many hymns. Seems like we sang this one almost every Sunday because it’s so easy to play!

14) “Macarena”- how can you not dance to this any time you hear it? I even did it at work once LOL

15) “Electric Slide”—this song goes along the same lines as the Macarena. How can you not dance to it when it comes on? I learned how to do it on the first cruise on went on, and Monika taught me!

Day 03- A habit that you wish you didn’t have.

I wish I didn’t bite my nails. Now I can’t grow nails at all! And I hate fake nails, can't put my contacts in or button my pants if I had fake nails on :)

Day 02- A picture of something you cannot live without.

1) CANDY! I love chocolate!
2) My mom and dad! I would be lost without them! They do so much for me!

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

**Lucky and I out on a walk**

This is going to be hard! I hate talking about myself! Just kidding :)
1) I scar very weird….any of my surgery scars puff up and look so gross!
2) I have the fattest fingers! Short and stumpy!
3) I like to pick fights…like play fights. Especially playing the WII (usually geared towards my mom)
4) I’m very competitive. I hate to lose and I always want to be #1
5) I hardly remember dreams….until it’s a crazy one and then I’m glad I don’t remember them!
6) I have many regrets, especially in high school. I may expand on that one day
7) I tend to not let people get close to me…like friends. I have been hurt a lot and I don’t let a lot of people in very much anymore. I’m sad and pathetic
8) I love hanging out with older people at church they are so funny and they love me!
9) I’m very spoiled. I’ll never admit it in public though. :)
10) I’m usually hanging out with my parents most days :)
11) In high school, I secretly hoped to be voted as the Class Clown. Why? No clue! I thought I was funny, guess not! :)
12) I was a typical band nerd. I loved band trips. I loved playing!
13) I cry sometimes watching the Biggest Loser
14) I love potty humor!
15) I really do love people, and I will try to be a better person and make more friends.

*** Disclaimer---that was really hard to think of things!
