I am a horrible tagger.

My friend, Melissa tagged me ages ago and I apparently failed to tag myself. I am tag failure. Since she so kindly reminded me today of my shortcomings, I will follow through with my tag:

The Rules:
Link to your tagger and list the rules.
List 7 random facts about yourself.
Tag 7 people (and make sure you check back and see what they say).
If you're tagged, play along and pass it on!

1. I have 6 sisters and 1 brother. Laurel, Melissa, Heather, Jennifer, Heidi, Matt and Amy. (I am the 3rd) I LOVE having a big family. Had I been able to get pregnant much sooner, I would have had lots of kids too. This is my brother with his daughter, Mattison on her blessing day. You can just see Amy behind him. (She's on a mission in Texas until April.)



2. Starting in 1984, my family and I went to Disneyland every summer. I never missed until 2001. (I'm crying now.) If you know me, you know I LOVE DISNEYLAND!! My family and I like to be Disney buffs too. We play "Lazy Disney Trivia" all the time. Which means, we don't really play the trivia game, we just sit around and ask the questions off the card.
We're cool like that. This is my sisters,(minus Amy and Missy, plus sis-in-law, Lauren) mom and me attending the "Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour". So awesome! Did you know Main Street's design is called Forced Perspective? The buildings are all normal all the bottom, but the higher you go, the smaller they get. This is so they will look taller. If you want more, you have to go on the tour!!



3. I am writing a book about my Grandmother's life. It's a long process and I only have about one chapter done. Plus when I look back on what I've written, I usually hate it. Anyway, she led an amazing life. She lived in Germany during WW2, escaped from the Russians with her mother, became a member of the Church, escaped East Germany after the War, married one of the missionaries that brought her the gospel (after he was released of course!) and came to America in 1950. There's so much more, but you'll have to wait for the book!


4. I met my husband at The Dollar Movies in Sugarhouse. I was dragged there by the same friend who tagged me! He went there with some friends. He saw me in the lobby and wouldn't stop staring at me. I was annoyed and a little bit flattered. We ended up seeing the same movie. I purposely sat in front of him. He asked me what time it was and the rest is history! (Best pick up line ever!) This is the exact lobby we first saw each other! On the right side. P.S. The movie we saw was "Runaway Bride". Sweet irony.



5. I have a famous-ish Grandpa. He was an author and speaker. He wrote over 30 books on America and LDS stuff. He was a professor at BYU, Salt Lake City Police Chief and an FBI agent. Growing up, I would asked all the time, if I was related, once people heard my last name. I always thought, "duh, I'm related. How many Skousens are there?" Now that I've grown up, I realize just how many Skousens there are!



6. I have to have my finger and toenails painted. All the time. If you've ever seen me without painted nails, that is one rare occasion! I even painted my nails the day before I went to be induced with Nathan. That's the day he flipped over and wasn't breach anymore! (A lot of good that did, I still had to have the C-section!!) These are not my nails, I couldn't find a good pic of them.


7. I love to read. When I was little, my Mom heard somewhere that the 3rd born child would have trouble reading, so she thought she would inspire me to read and bought me lots and lots of books. Well either it worked or it didn't matter anyway. I LOVE to read. I can also read fast. I have to say, if there is one thing about me that I like is that I can read fast and comprehend it well. (I hope that doesn't sound conceited, I'm just grateful for the gift!)
I don't read romance novels; and I didn't like the Twilight books.




I'm supposed to tag others, but I like to be a rebel and so I'm not tagging anyone! If you want to do it, feel free!!
