- I am number 3 of 6 kids. My sister and I share the middle child syndrome. My brother and I are only 11 months apart and share the same age for 3 weeks. I used to tease him about this and would consequently get a good big brother beating for it. We laugh about it now but back then it was very irritating for him and very funny for me.
- This is the longest place we have lived since being married, 6 years in one town and 4 years in one house. The first 2 years of our marriage we lived in 5 towns and 7 different homes. I hate packing but actually enjoy living in new places, but it takes me a while to become comfortable in my new town.
- It took us 4 years to get pregnant with our twins they were 10 days early, My doctor tried to induce me 14 days early and I was in the hospital for 12 hours contracting but NOTHING happened so I went home. And 4 days later I went in for a stress test and everything was just great. After the test we went to lunch at a local restaurant and we were just finished and standing up when MY WATER BROKE!!! My water never broke with Em so it was a BIG surprise. I was sooooo embarrassed. I tried to clean it up but I didn't really want to move either because I was afraid more would gush out. The lady was like it's okay I'll do it you go and do what you need to do. I think I was scarlet RED. Everyone was staring at me. So I just smiled and said it's fine my water just broke that's all. It took until 7 pm to even start labor after finally getting some pitocin. L was born first at 10:58pm (vag) weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and El was stubborn and wouldn't turn so she was born c-section and weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces then 3 months later we were pregnant with O. Feast or Famine!
- I love to read, scrapbook, play the piano (but I'm not very good), read, scrapbook, read, scrapbook oh wait did I say read and scrapbook? :)
- I HATE housework. It's the never ending cycle, the second I "THINK" I'm finished there's another dish in the sink or another piece of clothing to wash or another toy or what not on the floor. It's the most annoying job EVER! But I wouldn't change a thing so that I could be home with all my kids.
- J & I knew each other for exactly 2 weeks when he asked me to marry him and we had only been on one official date. The first kiss was 10 minutes before he popped the big question. We were married 2 1/2 months later in the Seattle Temple.
- I can't stand BUGS. They're ugly and make me creepy crawly all over. It doesn't matter if it's a little old ant or a big nasty spider. Ewww. If a bug gets on me I feel like I have bugs all over me for the next couple of hours. The thought just makes me shudder. Same thing with snakes... ewwwww..... :)
Okay and now I tag........ Rachel, Bridget, Jeanne, and Summer.

That's fun to read about you. I can't believe you were already pregnant when your twins were three months! That must have been a challenge! And it took four years to be pregnant! I bet that got frustrating.
First off, thanks for doing this, it was fun to read and learn more about you. :-)
I hear ya on the moving around... this is the longest we have ever lived anywhere also... been here 6 1/2 yrs and 9 months in the 1st place, almost 3 yrs in the 2nd house and we bought the house we live in 3 yrs ago.
I hear ya on the taking a while to get preg. we had 3 kids wanted another got robby {family adoption}but it was 6 yrs after Savanna that we had our twins {had a miscarriage in that time too}.
We were married in the Seattle Temple, too! When did ya get married?
thanks again for this insight.
Gosh, sometimes I wish I had half a brain to re-read before I hit 'publish comment'... ok the house time line is for our current location.
IN the 5 years it took to get preg w/ the twins we had a miscarriage
hope I helped to make it more understandable {I must talk better than I write, I hope} :< :D
{and now to see if I can copy the letters right... it always takes me more than one try!}
We were married in 1999. :)
I learned some things about you that I didn't know before. Now to think of things for my blog, wich will be hard because I'm so random anyway.
I'll be excited to see what you have to say Bridget! :) And what you Rachel, Jeanne & Summer have to say!!!! :)
We were married in 93, but my sister was married in 99 there.....
I meant to comment on your 7 random facts. They were so fun to read. I can't believe how far you went with your twins! Who is your baby A? Is that the bag of water that broke in PUBLIC? You always hear stories about that happening, yet there are very few women that it actually happens to where the water gushs! I'm A HUGE bookworm, too! Two weeks before you got engaged? MUST have been love at first sight! :)
Duh, sorry. I just saw that Lane was your baby A
