I was tagged by Jon's sister Kristen. I guess I am suppose to write about 6 habits, hobbies or memories that I have about me and then tag other people to do the same thing.
1. I love to read and I can read a book pretty fast. I use to just buy all my books but thanks to Jon telling me "why don't you just go to the library and get books" I have started doing that. I get around 10 books and usually take them back in two weeks time or less. The funny thing though, which I'm not sure if it's my mentality or comes from old age, is that several times I have checked out a book that I have already read, not recognizing it until I'm into the first chapter and then I think this book sounds so familiar to discover that I have already read it. I wish that when I go to the library that I would just recognize the title or the cover!
2. A memory that I have is spending time with my grandparents every summer in Emery, Utah. I loved going there and being with them. My one regret is that when my grandparents died we didn't keep their home in the family. They lived on a farm and the town of Emery probably has never had more than 500 people living in the town. We would walk from my grandparents home to Eldreds store at the end of the street. Probably a mile or less. We would buy penny candy. Emery consisted of Eldred's store and gas station, a library, a church, rest area, baseball diamond (park) , a bar and the post office. I loved to ride horses when we were there. They had two horses Old Charlie and Old Paint. My grandma would save all kinds of things for us so that we could play in the play house (she had it all set up outside for us) we would make mud pies and spend hours playing there. Lot's of good memories. I miss it.
3. In our first 8 years of marriage we moved 10 times. We started out in a little house on Sunlower in Boise, Idaho. We then moved to a duplex in Boise from there to Salina Utah and while we lived in Salina we moved 4 times. From Salina we moved back to Boise and in with my mom for a little while and then into married housing. From there we moved into a duplex on patricia lane and then we bought our first home in Boise on Canterbury. We then moved in 1981 to Layton, Utah and have been in the same home ever since then.
4. A habit that I have that I only do at night before I go to bed is chew on ice - usually a couple glass fulls and that is usually only when I'm not with anyone and reading a book or on the computer. I have broken two teeth in the last six months by doing this so I'm trying to not chew the ice.
5. Something that I would like to do more of and haven't really expressed it to anyone but really enjoyed it when I did it several years ago is cross country skiing. I should pursue that more with Dann. It was my one and only time of going a few years back and it wasn't easy but I did enjoy it and I think I should as long as I don't have to go downhill.
6. I love spending time with my family and doing things with them. Playing games, talking, baking, crafts - I enjoy my time with them and I am really enjoying being a grandma. I wish Jason enjoyed being home more and doing things with me - maybe someday he will.
I tag - Dann, David, Rosalee, Nathan and Amy
And this is the last of them from my camera - Nathan what are you doing pinching Jasons on the butt?! They were opening the new home theatre system that Santa brought them. 
I received an early Christmas suprise. Nathan suprised me with a new couch for Christmas. He wanted me to stay out of the room until Christmas but that was impossible so he gave it to me before Christmas. It is really nice. I love it. So does Nathan he slept on it last night. Haven't asked him yet if it was comfortable to sleep on. When we were in Idaho for Thanksgiving we saw my brothers and so when he went shopping and saw this he knew that I liked Rod and Janet's couch so he got this one. I really like it. Thanks Nathan. 
IT'S SO SAD - MARCELLA IS PRETTY SICK!
