| My mom and all my sisters in August 2009. |
11 things about me:
1. I was born in Texas and
have lived in Texas, Georgia, Alabama
(the state I call home), Utah, Massachusetts and New
York.
2. If I could, I would be a life-long student. The only sorta-sad part about marrying Spencer was that it meant I had to graduate college
a year early, meaning I couldn’t do my desired minor (Spanish) or take all the
extra classes I wanted to.
3. I get car sick but only if I read in the car for a long
time or in Massachusetts or if I’m in New York. I never got
car sick in Utah or Alabama. Stupid, skinny, windy roads!
4. In high school, I frequently stayed home to read a book
rather than go to parties. Or I watched chick flicks with my friends. Yup, I’m
cool.
5. I have played soccer my entire life except for the past
few years I’ve lived in New York,
and I sorely miss it.
6. I highlighted my hair all throughout high school and college and only because my dad told me it would look good. I said sure, I’ll
do it…if you pay for it. He did, and it did look good.
7. My voice is so low that I can easily sing tenor by copying Spencer. Actually, we realized that our vocal range differs by just 2 notes (i.e. my lowest low is just 2 notes off from his lowest low).
8. I’ve had glasses since I was 8 years old, so I will never
understand the allure of fake glasses.
9. I didn’t learn to dive until I was 19-years-old, even
though I’ve been swimming since I was a toddler. I only learned because my
then-six-year-old sister learned. She was and is a better diver than me.
10. I always wanted an afro, and I finally got one in 2010, if only for a few hours. I want to get another one so bad!
11. I.love.food. But if you follow my
Twitter, you already
knew that.

Now the questions that
Meredith asked me:
1. What’s the best thing you ever ate? A vanilla soft-serve
cone from Mister Softee dipped in the cherry coating on a hot summer day. And
it continues to be the best thing every time I eat it.
Janssen knows what I mean.
2. Do you prefer the radio, iPod, or a CD while driving? I
haven’t driven consistently since I’ve moved to New York, but I prefer a CD. I used to make
mixes for my sister and I, and we’d dance in the car on the way to school and
soccer practice.
3. What’s your most prized possession? As a person who
routinely throws things away, having any prized possession is a big deal, and
it is definitely my engagement and wedding rings.
4. What’s your fave ride at Disneyland?
Well, I’ve never been to DisneyLAND because anyone who knows where it’s at goes
to DisneyWORLD. And my favorite ride there is
Rockin’ Roller Coaster.
5. What’s your favorite clothing trend from your lifetime?
Grandpa cardigans! I love loose, slouchy layers, so these just speak to my
soul. And cute flats. My feet thank you, inventor-of-ballet-flats.
6. What’s the best road trip you ever took? There are like a
bajillion ties for this one because I’ve taken a lot of road trips. The top
contenders are when we drove from Alabama to Cape Cod and visited church
history sites in Ohio and New York on the way up (saw Donny Osmond in the Hill
Cumorah pageant!), my seminary trip as a high school freshman from Alabama
to Nauvoo, and when Spencer, my sister and her husband caravanned across the
country to move from BYU to New York and Boston, respectively.
7. What’s the first song you remember knowing all the words
to? Not including church songs because I think I was born knowing those, it’s a
tie between “Love Fool” by the Cardigans and “Ironic” by Alanis Morisette. I
still love both of those songs.
8. What was your favorite year of high school? Oh senior
year, hands-down! We were the kings of the school, I finally dated this guy I
had liked for a while (not Spencer – what!), our soccer team did well, and I
got into BYU with a scholarship.
9. What did you want to be when you grew up when you were a
little kid? I wanted to either be a physical therapist or an astronaut. Now I
know that I would be terrible as either. I love having a desk job.
10. What’s your go-to meal to make? If I’m home alone, I
make pita pizza because I can eat pizza everyday. If Spencer is with me, I
sautee some sliced peppers and onions, throw that in jarred sauce and toss it
over pasta.
11. What’s the first chapter book you ever remember
finishing? Baby-sitter’s Club, of course! I was six-years-old and I thought
13-year-olds were SO OLD. Now, I’m like, why are these 13-year-olds dating!?!?!
