Random Info:

1. I like water.  I don't really drink anything except water.  On rare occasion I'll have some lemonade but that's about it.
2. I like to workout.  I like the feeling after it's done and I like that it's 'me' time.
3. When I read I have a hard time putting books down.  I'm not so good at just reading a couple pages.  (I like fiction)
4. I don't know anything about music, movies/actors, cars, makeup or fashion.
5. I am not very patient and can sometimes be a little on the blunt side.
6. I don't know much about politics.
7. I don't like mustard, mayo, relish, ketchup, olives, or pickles.
8. My favorite colors are blue and purple.
9. I am a morning person.
10. I wash my hair twice a week.
11. I don't wear glasses or contacts on my short runs.
12. I don't like talking on the phone.
13. My least favorite chore is cleaning the bathroom.
14. I love mysteries.
15. I love to bake/cook.
16. I don't like seafood except fish.
17. I have a Bachelors and Masters in Information Systems from BYU.
18. At one point I was a CCNA, but that certification expired.
19. After graduating from college, I worked as a web analytics consultant for Omniture and then Adobe.
20. I am the worlds worst texter (send me an email instead).  I never have my phone on me...and if I do, chances are it is not charge.
21. Outside of web analytics and coding, I don't know much, but I do usually know enough to know what to Google to find the answer. 
22. I am not super social by nature.
23. I cut both my kids hair and my side sweep bangs.
24. I dye my eyebrows.
25. I don't like to spend money.  Definitely more of a saver...I like getting good deals.
26. I can build spreadsheets for just about anything....I like information organized and accessible.
27. I like square pictures (can you tell)
28. I am not very creative, but Ryan is and pinterest and google help out a lot.

Our Sunday's are not typically very relaxing days.  Ryan is gone to meetings before we wake up and stays after for more meetings.  It just didn't make sense to have him make my birthday dinner.  So I marinated the chicken (delicious recipe: coconut lime chicken) and Ryan cooked it up.  I also made my own cake (I went for a trifle this year).  I made a black bean cake (using kidney beans) for the cake part and layer it with pudding and spray whipping cream.  I definitely miss cool whip b/c it  holds up a lot better.  It wasn't amazing, but wasn't bad either.  It was fun to try something new...I figured I wouldn't try it any other time so why not now?

Gift wise, we have some awesome trips planned for November.  Then Kherington got me a cute key chain with family pictures on it and Kevin gave me an empty bag...her saw Kherington was putting stuff in the bag and wanted to be like his big sis.  Mr. creative (Ryan) printed off some 'Getting to Know You' questions for us answer each night....like 'what's the first outfit you remember wearing.'  I have an awesome family.  Life is pretty great :).
