Things I love, hate, don't care for, learn to accept and need to confess!!

Without putting it on the silly things below I can say the #1 thing that I love is my family.... No doubt it is and always will be my favorite thing in life. Family means ... all family. Husband, 4 daughters, 3 sons, 3 grandsons, all my parents, all my grandparents, all my sisters, all my brothers, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, my friends children, my children's friends, Children that lived with us, stayed with us, shared their babies with us. Everyone that ever came into my life and became a part of my family. Without any of you I would cry because I love you so much! Whoever reads this may not think that I am talking about you. but I bet I am! I have been blessed with so many fantastic people in my life. Someday I am going to take a whole wall and make a huge family tree and put every name on it that ever spent time in our home and became a part of our family and it is going to be the largest tree you will ever see because I am so lucky to have such a great FAMILY!

****My confessions****

I don't remember who it was but someone from High School asked where I lived.

I said "I live in Bountiful"

They said "Wow, that's an expensive place to live. So you must live by the new Temple!"

I replied "Well, I can see it from my back yard."

I left it at that...

I confess that I let you " assume" that we lived "right by" the temple.

We dont!!!

I "can" see the Temple from my backyard but only in the winter

when there are no leaves on the trees and you have to squint kinda hard.

I do like to look out at night right before eleven and watch the Temple lights go out. I love this and I love where I live!

But the fact still remains that I actually live way, way below in the valley closer to the

Great Salt Lake

Maybe a little too close especially during the floods of 1983.

I guess I could have told you that we have a house with beac front property

But then I would have to confess again!!!!!

Things I somehow missed the boat on when I was younger!

February is spelled like that and not F E B U A R Y!

I learned that the hard way when I was 18 working at a bank sending out delinquent letters to people that didn't make their Feb-uary payments.

The boss wasn't so happy with me!

Just a year ago I figured out that the word "alot" is not one word but two... a lot.

Why did I not know this all this time? I use that word alot!!!!

ha ha!

Others I thought of:

All Hispanic and Latino people are not called "Mexicans"

Mexicans are only from Mexico... hence the name!

Duh Jennifer Duh, duh,duh!!!!
