I've been tagged twice n0w. Once for a 16 random facts, and once for 25. I figured I would do 25 and get a two-fer-one. (yes, fer.)
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I love massage. I love how much it can help people. I'm very tactile, love touching, so this is a good thing for me.
2. Laundry and dishes are my least favorite chores. They never seem to be done.
3. I love cooking, but only if I am cooking for someone else to enjoy it. And I still have a hard time cooking for less than 6 people.
4. I hate snow, but I miss Minnesota. I also feel like building a snowman and going sledding more often this year than ever before.
5. When I lived in Minnesota, I took private ballroom dance lessons from some guy that wanted to take me to Chicago to compete. But I met the ex, just soon after. I miss dancing, more than almost any other hobby.
6. I am a music horder. I love to collect music, almost all genres. Even if I know I'll only listen to it once.
7. I am not so secretly addicted to video games. Even though I try to pretend that nobody knows it.
8. I really want to go on a date. But don't really know how to go about it. And am also of making a fool of myself. Divorce makes me scared to do it all again.
9. I love anything to do with the ocean and the beach. All things nautical.
10. I've always wanted to live in DisneyLand. I still do.
11. I want to be an actress. I love performing.
12. I was reading my journal a few weeks ago, and the first boy I ever kissed, was not who I thought it was. I kissed Jared Quilter on the cheek. Some may say it doesn't count...But, it does.
13. I love parties. I love to host parties, attend parties, etc. (Alcohol-free, of course)
14. I want to make out, but I don't want a commitment. Yet.
15. My children are most important to me. They come before anyone else.
16. I'm addicted to PostSecret's blog.
17. I'm in love/lust with Zachary Levi (how much can you really love someone you don't know?). But I think it's because I don't want to be vulnerable to anyone else.
18. My favorite place to go to dinner is Tucanos.
19. I have expensive taste. I know that.
20. I want to move to California and start my own massage practice there.
21. I also want to run a dog rescue.
22. My dream dog is an Alaskan Klee Kai. Then a Husky, a great dane. And of course, Jasper, my poodle.
23. I am not really a cat lover.
24. I hate it when people don't return my phone calls/text messages.
25. I love reading. I also am working on writing a book.

Why do my children think it is their job to feed the dogs their leftovers?
Or anything else they don't want to eat.... Wesley was feeding his sucker to Japser. Gross!
Anyway, as promised, here is a photo from Sundance Film Festival.
This was Sunday's crew. I'm fourth from the left. Again, this was an awesome experience. I learned a lot and was able to network some.
Lets see if I actually get any clients from this... ;)
I've started my new classes at Provo College: Oriental Modalities, Trigger Point and Reflexology. I love Oriental Modalities. Jennifer is an awesome instructor and knows her stuff. Bobbie Joe hurts me! Which is good for trigger point. I just need to remember to drink my water so I am not so sore. And Reflexology is a waste of my time. Unfortunately, that instructor by his own admission doesn't love the subject, so I don't feel he is taking the time to study and actually teach us something. Lame. I'll have to take a class later, i suppose.
I'm almost done with school. I can't believe how quickly it has gone by. I only have one term after this to do. I can't wait to be a college graduate! You are all invited to watch me walk. (More information on time and place to follow!)
Christy has an obsession with Mario party 8 on the Wii. She is really good, too. She beats me about half the time. (The other half, I let her win :)) She also loves to play SingStar. She has a beautiful voice.
Wesley is getting a few more teeth in and seems to have a little ear ache. I'm going to keep him home tonight from their Dad's to let him get a few extra Zzzz's in.
It breaks my heart when the kids are sick. You see how much they suffer. Poor babies.
He's really developing his very own personality. 2 days ago, when he got up I said to him, "Wesley, give mommy a kiss." He then smiled at me and hid his face in the pillows while giggling. Such a stinker.
Jasper has made his claim on me. He did that once when I was petting Flash. I am his person. He follows me everywhere. He loves to chase the kids and snuggle me at night. He also loves to sit under Wesley's high chair and waits for Wes to notice him, then the rest of Wesley's meal goes to the dogs on the floor. Actually, it's quite entertaining. Really.
I am going to start writing a book. I keep feeling like I need to get it done. I've even had dreams about doing it. So, I'm telling you, hoping that by doing so I can motivate myself to do it. Even if I never get it published.

Sundance Film Festival
Since last Thursday, Sundance Film Festival has owned me. ;) I decided to try out being a volunteer this year. (Well, a full time, b/c you can get reimbursed...and make a little $$).
It was a lot of fun. And a little stressful.
I met some amazing people. I met some insanely crazy people. I met some very rude people.
I worked at the Prospector theater in Park City and the Sundance theater at the Sundance Resort.
At Prospector, I worked crowd liaison and wait list line. I loved working with the people. Every day was so different and people just intrigue me. Especially when they think they are so so much better than everyone else. Those people make me laugh. Because really, we are all on the same level. Lame.
I worked as an usher, wait list line and ballots at Sundance. The Sundance theater was my favorite spot to work. It was quieter, less crazy and had an ambiance about it that was just so inviting. I was also able to see a few movies while I was working there. A few of my favorites were, "Sergio", "Kilimonjaro", "500 Days of Summer", "Children of Invention", "Earth Day", and "Moon". I missed "The Cove", but I have heard only amazing things about it. And it won an award. Along with Sergio. If you have never heard of him, please look him up. He was an amazing person, and worth the research.
I'll post pictures later.

Happy 2009!
Okay, so I owned that PS3. All by myself. I am NERD. :) And these days, that is not an insult, either! Christmas was so fun this year. I was sick, though. So that made things a little on the "meh" side. But I tried to be as jolly and cheerful as possible. As tradition goes in our family, we always have french toast for dinner on Christmas eve. As we were getting ready for dinner, Christy decided she wanted to take care of m. She rubbed my head, and told me that food would make me feel better. She even tried each food item before I could eat it, to make sure it was good! She is such a sweet little girl. We lit the candles on the menorah, since it was Chanukah also, and opened our Christmas eve gift, which is always pajamas. Christy just loved hers, and Wesley loved ripping the paper. My family always goes out to visit Laura's gravesite, and light illuminaries. The kids and I stayed home, but they took some pictures. Someone had left Laura a Christmas tree. We were very touched. It's nice that people still remember Laura. She really is an angel. She touched so many hearts while she was here, and continues to do so in her work for our Heavenly Father.
Christy was so excited for the next day, she could hardly go to sleep. But after a few Christmas stories, our scriptures and prayer, and a short Kipper movie, she was dreaming.
Christmas morning was great. Christy was so excited to go through her stocking. Wesley also thought it was fun to reach in and grab a suprise. Reach in, grab suprise. Oh, to be young again!
When Christy saw the Christmas tree with all of the presents around it, she couldn't wait to get started. She helped pass out the gifts to everyone.
Her favorite present was the Barbie castle. I had it hidden under some blankets, as she pulled the blankets off, she announced, "Yes" with the hand movement and everything. She was so so excited, and played Barbies for most of the morning. The ginormous box next to her was a tv that Josh gave to Jessica. He is always so generous and thoughtful.
Wesley's favorite present was a car that I got him. It was a motorized one, so he just followed it around the kitchen for a while. He also loved the boxes, he just climbed in one, and I took him for a ride! The kids spent the afternoon at their dad's, and then came home for our Christmas dinner.
Christy and Wesley went to their dad's for the second half of Christmas break. But on Wednesday, he got called into work, so I got to play with them for the day. So we celebrated New Years a little early! Wesley ate his first apple. It looks huge! (Christy helped!) Here he is sitting with Grandpa Miller eating his apple and watching some cartoons.
Christy was lying on the couch with her aunt Kaytlyn. She is such an angel. I love her so much.
And here, Christy and Auntie just accomplished giving Grammie a wet willie. Ha Ha!
Christy and Wesley went back with their dad at 5:30, so I fixed my PS3, and got ready for the family party. Aubrey and Charise came and we played Sing Star2 for hours! It's such a fun fun game! The Hubbards and the Jensens were also here. We played some Uno. When there were ten minutes left of 2008, we turned the NBC new years special on to watch the ball drop. We counted down, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - Happy New Year!!!!" And popped poppers, blew our little noise makers and made toasts with our sparkling apple ciders (actually I think it was grape). It was a fun party, but now it's time to go back to eating good, and working on those new years' resolutions.
That being said, I'm off to make a delivery to the storage unit, and off to perform some massages before I pick up my beautiful children.
Happy New Year!!
