5 things you may not know about me (well 6 actually)

Erin tagged me so I guess it’s my turn:

1. I run about 20 miles a week but recently I’ve also added a pilates class once a week that I love. It makes me feel so happy, strong and relaxed afterwards which I definitely need because I can be a little high strung.

2. I absolutely love the Redwoods in Northern California. I think part of it comes from thinking about my mom growing up there in the 60s and that makes me happy (the other part comes from this fantastic film)

3. I take a nap at least 4 days a week for at least an hour. It’s kind of a bad habit that I’ve had since college.

4. I played lacrosse in high school, at BYU and helped found and coached for 4 years a high school lacrosse team in Orem. I received an award of “Coach of the Year” by the Utah Lacrosse Association the last year I coached. Now I coach at the high school I counsel at.


5. This is my dream car. A 1987 Land Cruiser (I can be flexible on the year).
Jared has promised we can get one when we move to the subburbs one day.


6. I danced ballet kinda seriously up until I was 14. I still miss it sometimes. Every time I see ballet, which isn’t too often, it makes me a little sad inside. I miss being able to express myself through dance (here’s a picture of myself when I was 9 or 10). I did take hip hop classes at the gym when I was in college to try and fill that expression void, but mostly all I ended up expressing was my dorkiness.
