I Have Been tagged!!! By Alex Mallory who I think is the cuttest smallest girl ever!!

Im a Weirdo, and I know it ,and this is why......

1. I cannot sleep when there is any noise going on at all... clocks are the biggest thing, I cannot stand the sound of clicking clocks. It drives me crazy! Also snoring ahh so annoying, if any of you know me which most likely its going to be craig ( he knows me best) family as well, I will not sleep in the same room with anyone if they snore... so craig FYI you better get cozy couch babe! jk! love ya! oh one more early morning construction.. like 7 in the morning.. just unexeptable!!

2. I can only keep finger nail polish on for maximum 2 days.. I like to peel it off.. I know pretty weird ..

3. I could live off of string cheese!!!

4. I have cleaned my wedding ring almost every day since I got it, I love when it is shiny and sparkly... I love shiny sparkly things, I feel like a little kid when it comes to really sparkly things!

5. Everyone thinks im weird because I complain about my nose alot.. I dislike my nose.. I have a hump on it.. I dont like it, it comes from my dads german side.. gosh dang those germans.. But I guess thats the only ugly feature about me... There will always be at least 1 thing on yourself that you dont like.. ha ha! My mom says that the only reason why I have a little hump is because of all the lies I have said when I was little.. Just like poor ponokio( how ever you spell it) I have never lied mom.. what you thinking?? ;)!

6. I am a picture freak.. ask craig he will tell you!! Every where I go, where ever, when ever and how ever, I always want pictures taken.. either of me or craig or both, really just pictures of anything.. Pictures to me priceless and perfect.. People say that Im in love with my self.. More like Im in love with pictures!! fyi people I do not take pictures of myself... only sometimes ;)!

7. I ABSOUTLEY HATE ANY LIQUID MEDICINE.. I ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL.. the worst in nightquil.. especially cherry flavor... ehhh discusting.. I throw up everytime..

and there you have it.. 7 reasons why Im weird!!

ha ha we are really enjoying being engaged, Have any of you ever seen craig laughing this hard? ah he is so funny, when he is laughing so hard he cries, when he laughs way hard its probley because of me cause Im so funny, but the minute he laughs hard I immediately start laughing and we look at each-other and both laugh soo hard, I usually pee my pants when I laugh hard.. and Craig's nostrils flair.. I wish everyday is a day that anyone can laugh has hard as they can.. I have those days quit often..

2008-09-21T12:39:00.000-07:00

Craig has been involved in something that completely fits him, he is studying Fire fighting 1 & 2, Emt, Paramedic, etc.. He just got certified for his EMT & Paramedic he passed all his tests and is doing awesome! He is now working at the lone peak fire station part time which is a 24 hour shift, so basically one day on 6 days off.. full time which he will be starting hopefully before winter is 2 days on 4 days off.. He is literally a work a holic, he also has another job that he works from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. he does really interesting work, he is called a Rigger, basically they travel through out utah and deliver and set up very heavy tools,machinery, products for different companies and really anything that is heavy his company deals with.. remember a little while ago how I15 got shut down for almost a day because of that huge big tank that fell off of the semi? Thats the kinda of stuff he deals with!! He is a very very hard worker, its kinda hard because I feel like we never see each other, I work as well part time at t-mobile so usually we work opposite shifts, so we are kinda both lucky to see each other for a couple hours a day.. It gets frusterating, but I know Craig will always be able to support me and my family one day, he is such a handy man and really can do anything you ask him to do.. I am so proud of him and I am very excited for what has to come with his work.. He has applied for a position up in the park city fire station, which is the top highest paying station in utah.. He heard back and he has to do a physical test, which is actually pretty difficult, he has to carry water hoses, dummies, etc, he will do great!! He is 21 and in this industry we can retire when he is in his 40's!! yea! then we will travel the world with our future family!! I love you babe keep it up!!
