8. I am not a morning person.
9. I would rather sleep than eat if given a choice.

14. I don’t know how to “couple dance.”
15. I’ve been married for seven years.
16. When we got back from our honeymoon, we were homeless because our LCU apartment wasn’t finished yet.
17. We lived with Bob and Brenda Cass and in the Mabee Living Center while we were homeless for a month waiting for our apartment to get done.

23. I love to sing.
24. I sang in choir n junior high and in college.
25. I didn’t sing in high school because drill team took up too much of my time.
26. Scott tells me I should be a soprano, but I’ve sung alto since I was in junior high.
27. I sometimes would rather sing soprano in church, but I feel I need to sing alto because hardly anyone does.
28. I feel like altos have more of a challenge.
29. I like to have things very organized.
30. At work, my desk has to be completely clean before I leave.
31. At home, my desk is a complete wreck most of the time.
32. I’m a hoarder and a pack-rat, but not as bad as my mom (love you, Mom).
33. All my DVDs are in alphabetical order.
34. I like it when books, etc. are in ascending and descending order.
35. In my silverware drawer, all the spoons and forks have to nestle each other.
36. I like the thought of drinking coffee and the smell of it, but I rarely finish a whole cup when I pour myself one.
37. I like the flavored creamers and lots of sugar when I make a cup of coffee.
38. My favorite “coffee,” though, is the Café Vienna flavor by General Foods International (the powder that comes in a can).
39. I love hot tea.
40. I love iced tea.
41. I used to like sweet tea, but now I prefer the unsweetened version.

43. I have read the infamous Diet Coke emails and have thought about quitting, but I decided oh well…if I get a disease because of it, I’ll just get to go to Heaven sooner :)
44. I’m not supposed to drink carbonated drinks because I have really soft enamel on my teeth. But I do it anyway.
45. I have two crowns and LOTS of fillings in my teeth. They’re horrible.

61. I am an indoors person.
62. I played outside as a kid, but I would have rather been inside reading, listening to music, or playing with my Barbies.

69. I would rather sit in the cabin by the fire with a book and cup of hot chocolate.
70. I love to read.
71. I love long books like Gone With the Wind, the Outlander series, and the latter Harry Potters. Books that are shorter than four hundred pages are almost no fun because they get finished too quickly.
72. The only places out of the United States I have been are Cancun, Mexico, and the Bahamas.
73. I went to both places my senior year of high school.
74. I went to Cancun with a friend and her family and I went to the Bahamas with the senior members of drill team on a cruise.
75. Some of the girls who went on the cruise were so bad that our director said she would never take another group again (She had taken every group of seniors for the past 15 or so years).

84. My first “real job” (besides babysitting and camp counseling) was at Bath and Body Works.
85. I liked the discount but hated it otherwise because they never gave me enough hours.
86. I have since worked at the LCU post office and bookstore,
87. a funeral home,
88. a high school,
89. and a flower shop.
90. I love to have my fingernails painted but never have enough time to do it.
91. If my toenails aren’t painted or don’t look pretty enough, I won’t wear sandals.
92. I pretty much never leave the house without make-up,
93. or at the very least mascara.
94. I don't really like cats, but I would like to have one anyway, but I won’t get one until my dogs are gone.

95. I think it’s because they’re lower maintenance and they chase away mice.
