TAG

Apparently Sara tagged me and these are the rules:
Each player list 6 facts or habits about themselves. At the end of their tag the player then tags 6 others, list their names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I was born in Evanston, Wyoming. I lived in the same house for 18 years before I went to college. Evanston, WY is generally famous for fireworks and booze, but it was actually a good place to grow up. I was unique to Evanston because I did not own a horse, live on a ranch, or ever own a pair of Wranglers. In fact, I think I've only been to two rodeos my entire life. Wyoming is the least populated state so a 2 hour drive through empty plains is required to get to the next large city. There are more people living in Columbus, OH than the entire state of Wyoming. I love Wyoming and I'm very proud to call it my home state.
2. After my senior year of high school I had major jaw surgury. They cut off my top jaw and cut out a wedge of bone, cut off the tip of my chin and pushed it out further and pulled my wisdom teeth. After the surgery my nose was on the right side of my face and my upper lip was swollen to the left of my face. When my brother Eric saw me after the surgery he kindly quoted, "I am not an animal, I am a human being!" I couldn't eat solids for two months and my mom would try to make me drink Ensure and to this day the thought of Ensure makes me wretch. I guess the good side is I lost a ton of weight but I had to start my freshman year of college with braces. I had a roomate from Albania that would bring her friends to come and stare at me because I looked like I was fifteen. There's really nothing more awesome than a girl and her friends mocking you in another language. I survived it though and that roomate from Albania actually became a really close friend. If you ever want to see some awesome scars on the inside of my mouth let me know.
3. I was dating Bryan's best friend from high school when Bryan and I went on our first date. We had to date in secret. I went to BYU Homecoming with his friend on a Friday and then to a haunted house with Bryan on a Saturday. Obviously, Bryan was the man of my choice and it was a bit akward when Bryan had to tell his friend that he was pretty serious about me and that he was going to continue dating me. His friend is happily married now and he and Bryan are still good friends, but it makes for a good story.
4. I am not good at sports. I wish that I could say I had a hidden talent in basketball or I was a killer volleyball player but quite the contrary. I was on a date in college and they were playing volleyball and I dislocated my pinky. I thought for sure it was broken and my date had his orthodontist father pop it back into place. When I was younger I was in Junior Jazz basketball. Our team set the awesome record of losing every single game. I had the personal record of never scoring a point. My only claim to fame was I finally got the ball and attempted a shot at the opponent's basket. I do think this story would be better if I actually made the shot at the opponent's basket but alas I did not. So when it comes time for Stake Basketball I am not going to be your best bet.
5. I used to hate, hate, hate tomatoes. The thought of them made me sick. But after I got pregnant and had Julia I love them now. I still can't eat them alone, but I really enjoy them on other foods.
6. I am addicted to Vick's Vapor Rub. I cannot sleep as well unless I rub it on my nose. I think it's a family thing, but I love the smell. I also have to put Hydrocortizone ointment on my eyes before I go to bed because I get eczema on my eyelids. So before I go to bed I am completely greased. I must say that this is not Bryan's favorite habit. He thinks Vicks stinks and I look like a greasy nasty before bed, but this is a habit I CANNOT break.
