My 25 Random Things . . .

I was tagged on facebook a couple of times, so I've decided to write my 25 random things on my blog.

1. I served a mission to Canada Calgary, but we didn't get our VISA in time so myself and two Elders went to Spokane Washington for almost a month, and then on to Canada.

2. Steven and I were engaged after we dated for 3 weeks. We were engaged for almost 4 months before we got married. He sent flowers to my work every week. It was fun to have flowers on Tuesdays.

3. I love flowers, but especially roses. My husband always surprises me with roses on birthdays and Mother's Day.

4. My sister and I were in the BYU children's chorus when we were in grade school. I went on to work in the communications office at BYU and saw the children that year in the chorus. It brought back a lot of memories for me.

5. I had breast cancer right after 9-11 and have been a survivor for almost 8 years. It was a positive experience for me and I hope I can help others through it.

6. I love rainbows, sunsets, waterfalls, and the mountains.

7. I have 32 amazing nieces and nephews.

16. I have an amazing sister and wonderful sisters-in-law plus 3 great brothers and a great brother-in-law.

17. I have a positive attitude and a great outlook on life.

18. I would love to take a cruise someday.

19. I worked at WordPerfect for 5 wonderful years.

20. I teach piano lessons to a neighbor's little girl and love playing the piano. I bought my piano when I worked at WordPerfect.
