My good friend Lauren tagged me: a request for 6 unique/interesting things about myself. By the way, Lauren, I died when you said you wrote Leonardo DiCaprio a letter. Oh yes- We have that in common :) Do I dare admit that I still have a pretty big crush on him?!! AHHH!
Ok so I know mine will NOT be as entertaining as yours: (P.S. good luck with your cooking show... LOL)
1) I am deathly afraid of scorpions. When Shane and I go home to visit my family I HAVE to bring my slippers because I just cannot walk around the house barefoot. Even if my dad does reassure me, a hundred times, he gets the house sprayed regularly. In the summer, everyone was visiting my folks and we went scorpion hunting in the backyard with a blacklight (they glow fluorescent under the light) and I geared up from head to toe with combat boots for the occasion :)
2) Those of you who know me well, know I am worlds biggest animal lover! So you're probably not going to be surprised to know that I literally can tell you which houses within a mile of my house have cats. Yep, I can tell you every detail about the cats at each house and I talk to them everytime I drive by. Pretty sad that I know the neighborhood cats better than the neighbors
3) I sincerely love to cook and bake~ I'd do it all day everyday if it didn't make me fat :) After a long day of running errands I'll come home and most of the time still want to cook an elaborate dinner and dessert. Baking/cooking is actually one of the things I do to relax too. If I'm stressed out I'll start baking enough for the neighborhood. I have to stop myself. Sometimes Shane will come home from work and if there are tarts or cookies everywhere then he knows it's been a stressful day. It's kind of funny to us. I just love to try new things and make things up myself. Ina Garten from 'Barefoot Contessa' is one of my heros! No seriously!
4) I am obsessed with Mountain Biking! Winter is my favorite season up here but it makes me miss biking. I'll do it until it's just too cold out. This morning it was 34 degrees and that was borderline too cold for me to be out riding. We have some great mountain trails just behind our house! In the summer/fall Shane and I love to ride all the way through the provo canyon. When I'm by myself I love listening to my ipod and changing up my route with different sceneries.
5) I have an addiction to buying blankets, candles, wall plug-ins, anything that smells good. Shane says I set the world record for the most purchases. It doesn't matter how many I have-- I always have an excuse to buy more. FYI: the body shop has candle/oil holders where you put a candle in the bottom and a few drops of oil in the top and it will smell the whole house up! I can smell mine from upsatirs when it's in the kitchen. Amazing Holiday scents out right now! Bath and body works have good oils too (christmas tree scent).... but the body shops are a little stronger :)
6) I am very passionately proud to be an American! I realize its the biggest blessing and privilege to live in the USA. Today is Veteran's Day and I've been thinking about my Pappa Tinsley who was a Colonel during World War Two. I ask everyone to remember all these great men and women in your prayers. They truly are the AMERICAN HEROS! We need to remember to live in such a way that we are worthy of the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for this great country. I really am honored and grateful to be an American and I thank my parents for helping me to understand and appreciate this freedom I enjoy.
***Now I'm supposed to tag 6 people to share 6 unique/interesting things about them. I tag--- Jenny Dannels, Chelsey Felman, Katie Brown, Brittany Naef, Chelise Patterson, Tara Jackson, and Tiffany Applegate. Don't let me down girls!

Loved your comments. You're amazing. One correction, my dad, your Papa, served in the Navy during WWII on the USS Goodhue. He enlisted in the Army after the war and retired as a Colonel which is how you remember him. I miss him and am proud to be an American too!!! Love, Mom
Holy Cow, I enjoyed that honey. You're an amazing young woman. One correction, My dad, your Papa, was in the Navy during WWII, and served on the USS Goodhue. He enlisted in the Army after the war and retired as a Colonel, which is how you remember him. I sure miss him, and am proud to be an American too!!!!!
Had to add one more comment. I know, I know, you're probably embarrassed but I just had to say that the fact you know all the cats in the neighborhood better than the neighbors cracked me up...so like you. Love you, non
ok.ok. so the funniest thing just happened. I was reading your blog and came back to mine and you had left me a comment. So we were thinking about each other at the same time. Stupid i know but i thought it was funny. I miss you. Your house looks so beautiful! I want to see more of it though. Will you post some more pics?? Congratulations to you and Shane for 2 years! You two are so perfect for eachother. I love and miss you both so much. I miss laying on your huge high bed..just lounging out all day and talking. I LOVE you!!
Hey I saw your site on Jen and Breton's. I love the Pictures. I always think I want to go blonde again until I see you and then I realize, "Brunette is HOT too!!!!!"
I Put you on our blog @ chandlercrew.blogspot.com
You are so funny. I must tell you that I usually don't do quizes. Or anything really about myself but I might make a acception for you. I want to see pics of your house too. That suprised me that you love to bake. I love to also, but when I am stressed we go out to eat. It was fun talking the other day. Oh and we are switching the day of the party to the 18th hope you can make it.
All I could think about with your story about the neighborhood cats was good old "Beauf" and your love for that crazy cat! And I learned two things- about the cooking and the mountain biking. Your momma is an amazing cook so I'm sure you are just as good! I have avoided being tagged for a long time now, but for you I just might do it... I really love looking on your blog so don't make me wait too long for updates.
Truly my dear, I cant tell you how happy I was to randomly find your blog. I love you!! You look so beautiful in your pictures, you are seriously one of my most favorite people ever!!! Remember how I would get scared in the basement and sneak up to your room, blankee in hand, to sleep in your bed??? Good times!!I have an idea, how about you and shane come to New York to visit us!! I love you!

SUZETTE! Do you have a blog?!?!? I freaking miss you and I soooo will come to New York to visit. We'd have so much fun!! I'm laughing right now because I know it really would be such a crazy; fun trip. Is it freezing there yet? Wait you have to tell me which part again...and wait oh just give me your email address!....LOVE YOU!
Hey, there...It took me forever to find your page again. I still think about how random it is we run into eachother at the airport and the mall... I wonder what's next? Ryan says hello and wants to know if you are still working at AF. :) I enjoyed your comments. I wish I liked to cook! Poor Ryan doesn't get very much yummy food. Oh well... God gave me other talents...
