Happy Birthday to me!


In 1.5 hrs I will officially be 26 years old. What are somewhat funny and cool things have I accomplished in 26 years?

1.) Growing up I managed to fly through windows and hang off of items that probably shouldn't be hung on.
2.) I ate a dirt taco once when my brother dared me to do it....dirt and leaves baby!
3.) I helped my brother light off a rocket in his bedroom in North Dakota once....sorry Dad!
4.) I managed to duck from a flying piece of artificial bread that could have been lethal when I was a teenager....yes I was talking back!
5.) I once punched my husband in my sleep. I wasn't sure if his head was on the pillow...hmm I wonder what I was dreaming about.
6.) I tried to hide a nintendo watch in my pants on my way to school when I was younger....I thought it would be a cool new fad.
7.) I never could put my clothes on in the correct direction....in Marching band trying on uniforms I managed to put it on backwards...oops.
8.) Everytime someone mentions ducktales I have to say whooo hooo at the end.
9.) I married a wonderful man after much prayer and inspiration.
10.) I have 2 adorable children who challenge me and make me stronger as a person.
11.) I have probably said I am sorry over a billion times in my life time even if I was never wrong.
12.) I hiked Angel's Landings in Utah and made it to the very top and then worried over everyone in the family that might get hurt taking strange, daring pictures.
13.) I won a script writing contest in High School for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.
14.) I will be graduating from nursing school in May, Phi Theta Kappa and part of their Honor's program.
15.) I have two best friends...one my husband and the other....well I call her daily.
16.) I cried the first two semesters of nursing school because the people in my class were brutal....I feel stronger because of them now...now I actually like them, most of the time.
17.) I always feel like an odd duck....I constantly wonder what people think of me....Im learning not to care.
18.) Im a woman and I only own 3 pairs of shoes...but I am working on that tomorrow!
19.) I played the clarinet in high school and was always excited to get first chair. There was always one girl that battled me back and forth.
20.) I have managed to successfully survive church sports...even though my playing is absolutely dreadful.
21.) When I was younger I could not pronounce fork I said f@$%! Good thing I accomplished saying spoon.
22.) When I was younger and not smart I took money from my dad's coin collection to use at 7 eleven. NOT SMART!
23.) I have been in only one car accident....I hit the fire hydrant outside my house.
24.) I got caught as a teen shaving creaming my own apartment....yeah not very wise again.
25.) I have an amazing family in my home.
26.) I have been blessed with a family who loves me, a home to dwell in and numerous spiritual blessings... I think I have accomplished a lot.

Happy Birthday! I didn't know it was your birthday. I'm so glad I brought you cookies earlier this week. Can they count for both reasons?
