A Bit of Me



This is my new favorite photo. It's of Kache and I at Matt's surprise birthday party. Anyway, I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. I was born and raised in Pocatello and I don't think that we'd ever move from here! In fact, I think my biggest pet-peeve is when people say how dull and boring Pocatello is. I am thankful that I live in a city where I feel save at night and safe raising my kids. Don't get me wrong, I know that it has its crime and what not, but not too much! My point is that if people hate Pocatello so bad they need to just go find a place that makes them happy!

I am the oldest in my family, I have two younger brothers, Dakota 18 and Trevor 16. They are two out of the four most important men in my life! I can't begin to tell them how proud I am of them and how much I love them. Anyway, life was and is really good. I graduated from Pocatello High School, and so will all of my kids, Hello...tradition never dies! :) Currently I hold a few odd jobs. I work as a cheer, dance, and tumbling coach at the Pocatello Rec Center, I love this job, it allows me to work with children ages 2-13 a few hours a week doing what I love to do! Then I coach cheer at Century... love that too! I often tell people that I have 22 teenage girls, and two boys. I recently took a job of picking up children from school and dropping them off for a local daycare here in town. It has been a lot of fun, I get to take my kids to play at the day care for a couple hours a day while I do it, so that is a big bonus! Last but not least I sell Mary Kay, which I really love, I actually don't know what I do more, buy or sell! :)

I am a sucker for Diet Pepsi and Big League Chew (the bubble gum) its gotta be original though! Mm mm...O yea, and Sour Patch Watermelons! I love music so much! My favorite individual singers are Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Nicks. Groups I love are the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and of course The Who! I love going to concerts, but Brandon's not a huge fan, so a lot of the time I go with my mom, she enjoys them as much as I do! Next year I made Brandon promise to take me to the Riverfest in Montana, it's a weekend long concert put on by different musicians from the 60's and 70's.

I love spending time with my family and friends. Brandon and my mom often give me a hard time about always doing things. I am one of those people who can't sit home and stay. I hate it! I am constantly on the go, and my kids go with me. We go to the zoo, pool, movies, hiking, visiting friends, four Wheeling, camping, boating, anything to get us out of the house. Now that winter is here it gets a bit harder to do things outside, but we manage with the help of Century sports and also ISU.

I am at a time in my life where I am happy. I eventually want more kids, but for the time being I am satisfied. I am thankful for a fun, loving, and hard working husband. I have so many wonderful friends that we have a blast with. Most important, I have a supporting family that I get to share everyday life with!
