Another tag

Yeah, I know. Another one. I never do these. They are kinda fun. This one is from my cousin, Kira.

Random Facts About Me! (Kira did 7, we will see what I can come up with)
#1 - I think I only want 2 kids. Before Amani was born, I thought I wanted 4 kids or so. The older she gets, the less I want another child. Usually girls start getting baby hungry again, but I am the exact opposite! I was baby hungry when she was like 4 months but the older she gets, it is getting less and less. The only reason I am thinking 2 kids is because I don't want her to be a snot! She is spoiled as it is!
#2 - I have very little sense of taste or smell. I lost it in a 4-wheeler accident just after high school. It has come back just a little but I can only taste and smell some things. It is weird, I am weird, and I have accepted that. It isn't as bad as it sounds. I can't smell bad smells. All good smells smell the same. I can taste sweet, sour, and bitter. Pretty good to me after having nothing for so long!
#3 - I can speak sign language and I actually get to use it sometimes. I got to translate for a patient at work a couple months ago. It was amazing! I taught myself over the years and it is a fun language.
#4 - I got to go the temple for the first time when I was 10 years old to get sealed to my little sister, Sydney. We adopted her from Chicago. She is half black, half white and gorgeous! It was an amazing experience for me. I was then able to get married to Dave in the same sealing room. It was awesome!
#5 - I am a little obsessive-compulsive. I have to have things in alphabetical order and organized. I love baskets! I have everything in baskets. But, the one thing I can't have out of place is my movie collection. I have lots of movies (no, this isn't a pic of mine) and they are in alphabetical order (of course.) It drives me crazy if one if out of place or if they are messed up! Yeah, I know, I need mental help!

Tagged!

I got tagged by my sister, Brooke. So since I had never responded to a tag before I figured I would respond to it. For this tag, you go to your 5th folder in your pictures, and then pick the 5th picture and then blog about it.

This the picture, I came up with. It is my nephew, Jakey. He is so hilarious. Jakey and I were eating celery (I think) with easy cheese. Yum! So, then Jakey took the lid to the easy cheese and put it on his head like a hat. It was so funny. He just looked at me like I was crazy for laughing at him. He is so adorable, Kari! I love his guts! I tag whoever wants to do this. It is actually kind of fun to see what you come up with.

We Are Back!

I finally have the internet back, so I can finally update. I guess I have a lot to catch up on. We moved to a different apartment on August 1st. It is actually just down the street from our previous apartment but the management is better and it had more to offer so we couldn't pass it up. I haven't taken any pictures so here is the link to my complex and it will show some pictures of what it looks like. http://www.eagleslandingapartmentcommunity.com/ Anyway, since the last time I posted was the 4th of July, I have 3 months to catch up on. Um....where to start.....at the end of July, we were able to take a trip to Utah with my family. We went to Lagoon on Monday. It was fun, even though 2 of my favorite rides were closed that day.

Amani was so good all day. We are so lucky sometimes!

She was even happy most of the day!

We got to stay with Dave's brother, Mike, while we were in Utah. It was good to see him and his family and to be able to spend some time with them. Tuesday, we went to Hogle Zoo, and Wednesday, we went to Temple Square. I love that place! There are so many beautiful paintings and sculptures to look at, and the peaceful feeling there makes you never want to leave!

I love this wall mural up on the roof! Really makes ya think, huh?

This is definitely my favorite sculpture in the world! I love this room. It is so peaceful. I could sit here for hours. The ceiling is so beautiful too!

Our Utah trip was definitely the highlight of our summer! We had a blast. It definitely wasn't fun coming back and trying to move in 2 days. :( As for August we didn't do much of anything exciting. Dave got a new job mid-September at the Behavioral Health Center. It is the psychiatric branch of the hospital I work at. He is working as a psych tech. He goes with the patients to their therapy sessions, keeps track of where they are at all times, and makes sure they don't do anything stupid. He is really liking it. As far as Amani goes, she is growing so fast. She has 4 teeth now and is really wanting to walk. She has had the few occasions of standing up on her own in the middle of the room, which of course makes me just cringe because I am not ready for this yet. Here are a few pictures from the last couple months. Most of the them are from our camera phones so they aren't the best quality, but you get what you can, right?

This is Amani's favorite show-Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. If it is on, this is where we find her. She could watch it for hours and just keeps laughing. It is so funny!

She is so gosh darn cute sometimes!

And so crazy other times. She makes the weirdest, funniest faces. They are so hilarious!

Here is my little poser. She did the most perfect little pose for the camera. I couldn't believe it!

I have no words to describe this one. She is just crazy, hilarious, and cute!

Dave sent me this at work one morning with the text-Good morning, mom!-attached. It was so cute. I wish I could wake up lookin that good.

I was tryin to get her dressed and she didn't want to so she pulled the onesie on top of her head. I decided it was the newest fashion so I had better get a picture.

That is pretty much the update of the last 3 months of my slacking. I have the internet now so I have no excuse (dangit!) so I will try and keep my blog updated a little better. :) (I know, I say that every time)
