Newport Nuptials tagged me to post 6 random facts about myself.

In no particular order:

1) My favorite 'kid' cereal is General Mills' Golden Grahams. My favorite 'adult' cereal is Post Honey Bunches Of Oats because it tastes like 'kid' cereal. Although, topped with vanilla soymilk, any cereal tastes sweeter!


2) I am a frequent returner. Yes. I buy things that I *think* I like, get them home, ignore them for a few days and then happily return them. Most places refund in cash (if < $50) instead of putting it back on debit---so then I have "spending" money. Fiance HATES this habit of mine! I'm sure Dave Ramsey does too.

3) I'm an avid reader when I have the time. I will stay up all night, ignore meals, phone calls, house work, etc when I have a good book under my nose. I just finished reading When Men Become Gods about fundamentalist Mormon Warren Jeffs and the culture of child abuse in that sect. It was fascinating...and extremely sad! I now want to read Under the Banner of Heaven, Stolen Innocence, Escape, and His Favorite Wife.

4) I've had the "Baby Bug" since I was probably 13. I can't wait to be a Mommie and have children. This is probably a huge reason as to why I became a NICU nurse. I can enjoy other people's babies, and then go home!

5) I had open-heart surgery when I was 3. I was born with an Atrial Septal Defect that did not close on it's own. I now have a 9 inch scar down the middle of my chest that I am VERY proud of. My parents gave me to option of plastic surgery to remove the scar when I was 16 and I opted to leave my body as it is. Without that beautiful scar, there is a good chance I wouldn't be here right now.

6) Even though it is sort of "grandma" my current favorite scent is Velvet Tuberose from Bath & Body Works. Yummy!

I buy and return things all the time too. It's actually a habit that I myself find annoying. Why can't I just make up my mind at the store? I never get cash back though! hmmmm.

I get very attached to my primaries, I can only do it every once in awhile. My last was born in February and didn't go home until July. I was ready to take him home with me...

I too love vanilla soy milk. . .the kids kind is my favorite.

wow to your surgery. that must have given your parents the scare of their lives. I think it's beautiful that you decided to keep your scar as a reminder of "life".

Thank you so much for your visit and comment about Kyla and the Birthday Party Slight. My mother also told me to be sure to include everyone in special events and it is a trait that I have proudly passed on to Ky and Bryleigh.

Best of luck with your wedding planning. I still think of all the fun I had planning mine...over 10 years ago!
