So my sister-in-law, Michelle blog tagged me...meaning that I have to tell 6 things about myself that I haven't talked about in other posts and then I get to tag other fellow bloggers to do the same...so here it goes (by the way, Michelle, it was kind of hard to think of 6 things!)
1. Most of you probably already know this about me, but I am an obsessive exercizer. In high school I danced-alot. Like 30 hours a week. So when I graduated, I stopped dancing so much and went to college and gained the Freshman 10 or whatever it is! So I joined the gym and have been working out 6 days a week ever since. Even when I was pregnant, I worked out every day until I went into labor and was back at the gym 3 weeks after I gave birth. I love to run and do cycling classes. I am planning to run my 3rd half marathon in March. Working out is my me time, my stress relief and I just LOVE it!
2. I really like to clean. Okay, maybe I don't actually love to clean, but I really like when things are clean. I love having everything organized. My closet is organized by color and season of clothes. I clean Steve's closet and it drives him crazy. But when its messy it drives me crazy! I ALWAYS make my bed-except when Steve is still in it. Lets just say I am somewhat obsessive about the whole having my house clean thing (I keep using the word obsessive and I am starting to worry myself...I was just kidding about being OCD, but its looking more and more that way!) I don't really like to cook, so I think that automatically makes me a not so great wife, but at least Steve gets a clean house, right?!
3. I really really really like Sunday naps. Whenever I move to a new ward, a big part of the decision of whether to move or not depends on what time church is. I hate afternoon church because then I don't get my nap. Last Sunday the new choir director was trying to get me to come to choir practice after church at 1:00pm. I told him I couldn't because Steve had meetings and I had to take Davis home to take his nap. Was he really serious? During Sunday nap time? Forget it.
4. I love to read. Always have. I read a whole set of children's encyclopedias when I was like 8 years old-A to Z, cover to cover. My Dad is a big reader and always has a book. When I was growing up, I would read whatever he just finished. I always have to be reading something. I just finished The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and now I am reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by the same author. They are both great.
5. I really enjoy decorating my house. I am always wanting to change something (poor Steve gets suckered into helping me a lot). I especially enjoy decorating for holidays-I am counting down the days until the day after Thanksgiving so I can put out all of my Christmas stuff!
6. I also enjoy all things crafty (almost all things): scrapbooking, stamping (thanks Jill!) sewing (simple things, usually curtains and pillows for my house-I don't know how to use a pattern!), painting wood stuff, re-finishing furniture (Steve and I refinished our piano, Michelle helped me do a dresser and I did a changing table and dresser for Davis' room), etc. I always have some sort of project I am working on.
Okay, that is it...Now it is my turn to tag Larissa, Natalie and Kristin. Love you girls! Reveal all!

I did not know some of these things about you but it's great to see that Sunday afternoon naps don't have to end when you're married with children! yeah!
This tag thing is hard. I will have to rack my brain to see if I can come up with 6 things about myself that I haven't talked about...hmm. Thanks! I did miss you at the gym Tuesday. I was actually ready to go by 6, so I drove past your house (and stopped for a couple of minutes) to see if I could catch you and go with you, but there were no lights on. Allana even came with me. See you there Thursday!
You did a great job with your Tag, I am proud of you! I need to catch that exercise bug that you have! Love you- Chell
This makes me laugh because I'm an avid closet organizer! I used to organize Jeff's stuff, but it was causing conflict, so I gave up. But, I can't even look at his closet now because it makes me crazy!
I'll post mine after I've had a chance to think up some things. It's hard!
Sum, you are hillarious. I think everyone knew about the exercise thing, but the rest were good to learn about.
I must say your house is always very clean and decorated very cute.
Summer, if you ever run out of things to clean at your beautiful house, remember I am only a few steps away! Just kidding!
