Tagged,

Ok, so my friend Carin tagged me to list 5 thingabout me that you probably didn't know so here I go...

1. I wish I had a soundtrack to my life! I seriously wish I had music playing in the backgroud of my entire life! I just think that it would help to set the mood that I try to create sometimes! Like sometimes I play music when Rob gets home from work to try and create a playful mood, or a romantic mood, or currently, a Christmas mood, he's ok with the Christmas mood, but usually he just turns the game on, thus, ruining the mood. Truly, it's crazy how totally opposite our taste in music is. Nonetheless, I wish my life had a soundtrack that I picked out. It would have a lot of songs from Grey's Anatomy b/c "Seriously," they have some good ones!

1.5 When I wwatch Grey's, it makes me want to be a surgeon. I think it would be awesome! Except when I think about it, I am in reality and then I think about it in a real sense and think of all the super late nights away from my family and how stressful it would be. Unfortunately the closes thing I've got to it is rotations at the VA hospital in the dental wing and that's not as intense, but we had a breakroom and everything, so for a second, it almost seemed like maybe it was like I was, but then I inhaled, and can I just say, the smell of the VA brings you back to reality really quick and you don't want to be there more than you have to.




2. I just want to look in everyone's mouth! You see, I clean for a living. People's mouth's that is. Kinda sick when you think about it that way, but I'm obsessed! Seriously, when I see a little kid getting his first teeth I think it's the cutest thing in the world! But truly, you can tell so much about a person from their mouth! Really! And truth be told, when you lie to your hygienist when she asks you how often you brush and floss, we know! And I love when cool things happen like getting a tooth pulled. Like one day I was cleaning this ladies tooth and it was wiggly, so I messured the bone level and I got a 12+mm pocket and so I took an x-ray and there was nothing hold it in, so I told the doc and he didn't believe me, until he came and saw the x-ray! Then he pulled it and the only thing holding it in was a chunk of tissue at the end of the root! AWESOME!


3. I can sing, pretty well. Okay, I have done a pretty good job at hiding this one. When I jam out I don't really pay any attention to technique, I just kind of jam, but when I'm really working on a song and if I have to perform in front of people I take it a little more seriously. I know it is a talent I have been given and I wish I would use it more, but I don't want to invite myself to sing. If I'm asked, I'll do it, no questions asked, and I usually am excited at the opportunity. But I don't just tell people I'm a great singer. I think I just struggle with the singer/choir member stereotype. I just don't really mesh with their singing in the hall, 'let's get together and practice in the commons area' type attitude that draws attention to myself. I've actually had the chance to sing at general conference which was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will never forget. It was the April 2005 saturday afternoon session. And with that I move on to...


4. I want to be in MoTab! Seriously. I want to be in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir one day. Every conference I just watch the choir and hope that I'll be there one day. Although I don't really like to listen to choir music, I would like to be in the choir because I think it would be a totally neat experience! Plus I love to sing and I think if you're in the choir, you get to do that all the time. And if I'm lucky they'll go on a worldwide tour again.

5. I want to be a photographer. Okay, I don't know anything about it, but I want to be able to take really good pictures and have actaully thought about going back to school to at least take classes in photography, but maybe get another major. Probably won't, but I'd really like to learn how to take fantastic pictures. I want to be able to catch my kids and my life in such a beautiful way that I can look back and remember the moment in a remarkable way....and then I can put a soundtrack to it, thus allowing me to complete #1.

P.S. New Tunes

So I've put a music player on my blog. Love it, but it was a tricky situation...anyhow, I figured it out. Hope I never have to do it again. But I hope you enjoy the tunes.

Halloween Take 2

So our friends had a Halloween party the weekend before halloween and so we had to dress up as couples, and before my inspiration to be Mrs. Incredilbe, I had decided that we were going as old people. So here we are!

Don't we make the cutest old couple...Rob's 'stach has white streaks in it, but you can't really see it. Our glasses were .50 at the DI, but we only wore them for the picture, b/c they were real bifocals and gave us major headaches.This is an action photo of "the girls" minus Carin and Kami. We missed them SO SO mcuh! I love these girls so much! They are like sisters to me! We've been best friends since high school. So many people are shocked that we were and still are such great friends b/c we are all so different. We've agreed that is the reason why we are still so close. We never changed in high school to be friends with each other. We just loved each other for who we were, so now that we're done with school, we're still best friends b/c we never had to change in the first place. We get together whenever we can, but Kami and Carin are missed greatly. It's just not the same without them!So for a recollection, Jess and Jon where vampires, April was a football player with Jason as a referee. Rob and I were old people, and Danielle was a cowgirl, Bryan was a scarecrow and Jacob was a cow!

Such a fun party. It should be a tradition. Hopefully we'll all be together for the Christmas party.
