I am a little late, but it's better than nothing...here you go Teresa:

6 Things People Don't Know About Me

1. I have always wished that I had an accent. No, a Utah accent doesn't count. I mean like a Texas or Australian or even a "wicked awesome" Boston one. Don't know why, I just always have.

2. One of my favorite movies of all time is Zorro the Gay Blade, starring George Hamilton. I grew up with it and still love it today. ("A-HA...2 fruits, 1 vegetable, and 1 flower") need I say more? Watch a clip

3. When I'm driving in my car alone, or with Jordan, I sing...really sing. I am in full concert. It turns out that the acoustics of a Jeep Grand Cherokee allow me to sound EXACTLY like Mariah, Celine, Whitney or any other amazing vocalist I choose. The only reason this can't be duplicated when others are in the car is that I don't want to make others feel bad about themselves :-)

4. You may know that I have a tattoo on my right ankle, which I got for my 19th birthday. What you may not know is that when my Mom saw it I told her it was one of those temporary henna type tattoos, and would gradually fade. Yeah, didn't exactly think that excuse through very well did I? 12 years later it's still here..go figure.

5. When I was a teenager I wanted to become a Marine Biologist. Since then my educational and career path has gone: Secondary Education/Criminal Justice/Financial Planning/Business-Travel & Tourism/Web Development. Maybe I can still save the oceans one web page at a time? Hmmmm....

6. Unlike Teresa and Eric we are not currently pregnant...but Jordan is 18 months now so you just never know....

I tag Chris and Kara and Duane.

The Family is all Home....for a minute!

Duane is home from China, albeit for a very short time, and Jordan and I are back from Michigan. Wow it has been a really crazy month!

Michigan was awesome. It was really green and pretty, and the weather was great. We must have been there at a perfect time of year, because it wasn't even that hot. We got to hang out with Chris and Kara, and Chris even cooked dinner for us! While we were in Lansing we stayed at the Residence Inn that is just a couple of streets away from their apartment, so we were very close. We all took a weekend trip together to Frankenmuth and Mackinaw, which was so much fun! I loved going to Bronners, and seeing what a cute town Frankenmuth is. Mackinaw was beautiful, and looked like something out of a movie. There are no motorized vehicles on the island, just horse drawn carriages. It was really neat! I learned a lot of Michigan history, and also learned about Pasties (pronounced Pass-tees) which are kind of like meat pies. Here is a slideshow from the trip.

Thanks to Chris and Kara for everything. It was so good to spend time with both of you. I can't wait to see you when you come home in December. I hope the move to the new apartment went well, and you are settling in ok.

Stay tuned for more updates. We are trying to fit in a lot of activities while Duane is home. We took Jordan to the zoo yesterday and those pics will be here soon, along with pics from China.
