The best vacation I ever had was:
There are so many I can barely decide. I love them ALL. I really enjoy traveling and love vacationing with family. One trip I love is when I went to San Diego and Anaheim with James. We went to Disneyland, Coronado, and enjoyed walking around downtown San Diego. It was so easy going, and we just had so much quality time with each other. Another trip is when I got to go to Disneyland with just my Mom. It is so nice being able to spend that much time with just her. The last one that stands out the most is when my entire family went to the Bahamas right after I graduated. It was so much fun. It was beautiful, relaxing, and the food was amazing.
The best thing about being married is:
Not having to say goodbye at night and knowing he will always be there for me.
A T.V. Show I watch regularly is:
Bones, Amazing Race, Big Bang Theory, and the Food Network
My earliest memory is:
When I met one of my good friends Stacey. I was three or four years old. She and her family had just moved in and we went to meet her. I remember standing in their entry way hiding behind my Mom’s legs because I was so shy.
If my house was burning down and I could only rescue three things, they would be:
Assuming my husband can stand up and walk out himself (otherwise he would be all I grab). Jayden, My dog, my computer, and my blanket.
My best birthday was:
My 18th Birthday. I was a senior in high school. My parents made me breakfast and sang happy birthday to me, just the two of them. Even though it was way early in the morning and voices were scratchy, it was the best song I have heard. They gave me a ring I have been able to look at everyday since. Later that night we went to dinner just the three of us at the roof in Salt Lake City. It was such a nice night together. To me it was the end of my “childhood” and it was the last birthday with them as
a “dependent”. It meant so much to have that birthday with just them
My favorite thing to do on a date is:
I love making dinner together, going for a drive, and playing games with each other.
A smell that makes me pause is:
Cinnamon. It reminds me of Christmas
A smell that reminds me of my childhood is:
Roast. We had it for dinner almost every Sunday night for dinner. I loved it.
A moment when I achieved absolute happiness was:
The main one I think of is the day I got married. Another random day is when I first went to Disneyland at Christmas time. I didn’t know Disneyland could get any better, but Disney + Christmas= Perfection.
The memory that still makes me laugh is:
When James first tried to put his arm around me (it was super awkward) and when I ran away screaming when he proposed (there was a raccoon right behind him)
The thing I am most passionate about is:
My family
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Inconsiderate people.
