These Are the Facts of My Life

Here are 20 random facts about me. They aren't in any particular order, just how I thought of them.
Me sportin' my new hair cut. :)

1. I like to get second opinions on almost anything because I want to make sure what I chose or do is right.

2. My heart broke after my dog died.

3. I was overweight in Jr High, lost the weight and was adorably skinny in High School, gained it back and have come to accept myself for how I am. However, I wish I were healthier and skinner would help that...

4. I love to read books and read as many pages as I can in a year.

5. I love watching movies and quoting them with my friends and family.

6. My dad got me interested in History so now that's my major with no definite plans on what to do with it.

7. Sometimes I wish I lived in Oregon.

8. If I could be anything, I'd be a pirate. (A gentlewoman pirate of course.)

9. I can't stay mad at people very long. It's just not possible.

10. I like jokes, especially bad ones!

11. You can never have enough high heels. I even keep mine in their shoe boxes to keep them nicer.

12. My inner self wishes I were very organized and always clean. Instead I'm halfway there which makes my room an organized mess.

13. I have a goal of traveling all over Europe, but especially England!

14. Sometimes I think I should have lived anywhere from Victorian times to the 18th century.

15. I love art! I love to color with crayons in coloring books, drawing with charcoal, and I would love to try painting.

16. I have horrible allergies. Half the time when you ask me if I can smell something, I can only faintly tell that it smells like anything.

17. I like German food; especially brautwurst, sauerkraut, and spatzle.  

18. I like being a Mormon! Living the gospel brings a lot of satisfaction in life. :)

19. I practically own enough furniture to furnish my own apartment if I ever move out.

20. Music is definitely something I love being a part of. Nothing brings me better joy than playing in my community orchestra in the violin seciton and getting family members and friends to come and enjoy the music too!


♫ For any interested takers, my orchestra concert is coming up next month. Let me know, and I'll tell you about it! ♫

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...

Best View in Town

Hiking has really had its benefits this summer. I've really enjoyed taking along m y camera, as you can tell. Even if I just used my phone's camera. These pictures are from two separate hikes, Ensign Peak and Grandeur Peak. What's great about both of these hikes is that once you've climbed the top they offer an amazing view of the valley. Many people know about Ensign Peak, but what I love about Grandeur Peak is the absolute brilliance of the view. It's from a much higher vantage point and offers a broader view of the Salt Lake Valley. Pictures can't do it justice. I've hiked it before and stayed up there while it got dark and watched fireworks for the fourth of July and I've never seen anything so beautiful to compare to it. Ensign Peak had an amazing view the night we hiked it. It was growing dark as we sat at the top and the thunder clouds rolling in added a great element to the pictures we took and made the night seem darker than it normally would h...

Fall is in the Air

Our first year of adventures in the married life has been pretty great. COVID actually opened up a lot of travel opportunities we couldn't have afforded otherwise. After going to Disney World earlier in the year, I never imagined that I would also be able to visit Disneyland in the fall, let alone twice! Disneyland To start, Disneyland with my mom, Lizzie and my niece and nephew in September. This was their first time (technically my niece's second but she was an infant the first time.) And doing Disneyland with kids is just magical. Yes, they get tired and grumpy and have no patience when they're hungry but they also believe everything they see. That kind of magic is just great to witness. We walked into the park and Micky and Minnie were at the train station to greet everyone coming in. My nephew was just in awe as my niece was so excited to see Minnie and Mickey in real life. They also quickly figured out that after waiting in a line, a really cool ride was at the end of...
